Hollywood is always taking flawless #Movies and remaking them because they were so great, which is a waste of time because they're already perfect, so the remakes are always bad.
So here's a list of crap movies with great concepts that should be remade:
Cowboys and Aliens
Passengers
The Invention of Lying
King Ralph
8MM
The Island
Pixels
The Wizard
In Time
Limitless
Downsizing
Waterworld
Old
The Purge
Voyagers
Speed 2
The Core
Clockstoppers
The Butterfly Effect
Jumper
Now You See Me
@rodhilton There already is a good remake of The Island. It's called Never Let Me Go.
(Of course, The Island is really just a Michael Bay-ified ripoff, likely based on a one-paragraph synopsis of Kazuo Ishiguro's heartbreaking novel.)
@odothan Excellent point - Never Let Me Go takes the concept in a very different direction, into more of a drama or even a love story, and it is indeed excellent.
I think what I mean here is that a remake of The Island could take the premise AND even stick with the genre. The Island was a remake of Parts: The Clonus Horror so twice now there have been action/escape films centered on this concept and I think neither are very good, but there's a lot of potential there.
