Disney's The Black Hole
Make it have more action and include a darker ending.

The Chinese horror flick Biozombie.
Pace it similar to the Dawn of the Dead remake. Up the action, terror, and suspense. Play it off more as a zombie-action film than a zombie-horror/comedy (this is a cue to drop all the comedy from the film). Increase the level of gore and go from there.

The Hidden

Hands down still one of the best sci-fi, action movies of all time. Just update the special effects and weapons and you got a an instant summer hit. Anyone who hasn't seen the original check it. It is the closet any sci-fi movie has ever come to Terminator.

Damnation Alley.

If it anit broke. Don't fix it.

Impulse (the one from the 80's starring Meg Tilly).

Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. It's time for some Battlestar Galactica type reimagining to go on with that franchise.

I'm all for a Jurassic Park remake. Give it a $300 million budget and an allotted 3 hours screentime and a truly great adaptation can be made. That movie always comes to mind when thinking about re-makes.

Speaking of Spielberg, I'd love to see a re-make of Hook. I was watching this on TV the other day and somethings definitely need to be changed. 1) No Robin Williams. He brings his own form of "comedy" that drags the film. 2) Lost Boys are a bunch of clowns. They fight armed pirates with eggs. 3)Julia Roberts WTF? Basically I'd change the whole movie except the way Dustin Hoffman looked and acted as Hook.

Well, I always believed its okay to remake only when the original was half-cooked or average.
Here's some titles that could use a face-lift:
Fiend w/o a Face (1958): actually the original producer is trying to
Spider Baby - This time have Sid Haig in Lon Chaney's role
Catwoman - Everything stunk about this, but there's was sooo much possible potential
and
Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman - a fav of mine but it would've been better than AVP

Dont's:
-No more remaking films that don't need to be; examples like Evil Dead, Last House on the Left, Omen, any John Carpenter's, and Romero's
-Stop remaking films that have been remade several times like War of the Worlds, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, the Blob, and King Kong (yes, I said it)
-and finally, stop udating TV shows.

John Woo, Tsui Hark or Johnnie To directing Men in Black into a full HK action/sci fi flick. Forget the cutesy nonsense. The new team would be Andy Lau with Chow Yun Fat or Anthony Wong.

Big budget remakes of the rest of the classic monsters. I thought The Mummy was entertaining.

None.

Creature From the Black Lagoon, with the right effects

If they got the right cast, I wouldn't mind a re-imagining of Ghostbusters, maybe one that takes place after the originals with a torch passing. It would be cool if they got Vince Vaughn, Will Ferrel, and Owen Wilson to fill the original roles.

I am not sure if they would necessarilly be remakes, but I would love to see Tim Burton do more Planet of the Apes movies. I don't know if his plan for them included remakes (or reimaginings) of the previous movies or he was going to go in a different direction all together.

That's an interesting suggestion and not a bad one either. Impulse had a good premise and since hardly anyone saw the original, a remake might certainly go over well.

How about the Quiet Earth. I greatly enjoyed the original movie, but it might be interesting to go back to the original source material and redo it with a better budget.

Old Sci-Fi with more recent tech updates would be great. I am a huge Chuck Heston fan but would really like to see updates of The Omega Man, Soylent Green and though not a Heston movie, When Worlds Collide.
