While reading that article which Cary posted about disappointing
movies, they list Judge Dredd and make the case for the new film,
Dredd, to be a big improvement.  (All accounts point to this being the
case at this time.)  So this got me thinking: what other genre films
deserve to get remade?

Personally, the top of my list any time I think about this question is
King Kong vs Godzilla.  Toho had wanted to make another film pitting
these monsters against each other in 1991 but the negotiations with
the Turner people proved insurmountable.  But to imagine the fight
between Kong and Goji with Hesai-era (or beyond!) special effects
truly makes this daikaiju fanboy's eyes go all saucer-like.
Especially considering what had just been done in the way of close
ranged daikaiju combat in Godzilla vs Biollante, itself something of a
revelation.

So what of it folks?  What genre films deserve a big budget modern
remake?
