BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE HOLLYWOOD
DON’T REMAKE THESE MOVIES: An Open Letter
Dear Hollywood
With the shocking (yet hardly surprising) news that you intend to remake / reboot The Fugitive, Big Trouble in Little China AND attempt some half-baked live action Fantasia; I felt compelled to write a quick open letter.
STOP re-making stuff! If you HAVE to re-make something, then choose something BAD so you can IMPROVE on it. Meantime, just give it up?
You CAN do this!
Listen to me, I’m your friend. I genuinely want to HELP! This re-making thing is an ADDICTION! You need serious cold turkey and rehab. None of this ‘oh just one more won’t hurt’ or ‘I can control this’. No. You have a PROBLEM. This is tough love and one day you’ll thank me for it.
To make that message even EASIER to digest, I am attaching the following list of movies that are re-make proof.
DO NOT EVEN THINK about TOUCHING these flawless classics.
- Battleship Potemkin
- Citizen Kane
- Casablanca
- Lawrence of Arabia
- The Great Escape
- Deliverance
- The Conversation
- The Godfather
- Apocalypse Now
- Rocky
- Taxi Driver
- Raging Bull
- Good Fellas
- Top Gun
- Star Wars
- Close Encounters of the Third Kind
- Raiders of the Lost Ark
- The Terminator
- Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
- The Untouchables
- Lethal Weapon
- Die Hard
- Groundhog Day
- Four Weddings and a Funeral
- Some Like it Hot
- Back To the Future
- Dances with Wolves
- Airplane!
- Goldfinger
- Batman and Robin (ok that’s enough for now)
I truly hope this helps you at a difficult time in your creativity drought.
Sincerely, Your friend
