Is there any left to remake? I thought they'd done most of them, especially those that were crap in the first place.

no way could you remake scar face. There is no possible way you could make that film better than it was.

Remake of the Kurt Russell version of 'THE THING' it's still a brilliant film and if they could keep the acting and suspense and add in new effects it would be my fav film ever.

I always thought that a remake of the Dambusters would be good.
As far as I know, Peter Jackson is meant to be doing something about it
