What are some movies that don't need a remake?
Movies that don't need a remake.

Star Trek...It didn't need one.
For me it did. I never liked the old ones, or the series. I loved the most recent film.
@The_Roman: I understand. If there were films I enjoyed and a remake was made that didn't have the something about it that made the old ones great, I'd be disappointed to.

the new film wasn't a reboot...it was a relaunch....all of the other films still happened...just in another reality
Highway to Hell! This movie is perfection. Ben Stillers greatest movie ever and he was barely even in it... or because he was barely even in it. Cult Classic!
Star Wars. The people that think it does are crazy. Remake the second and third one, and get better actors.
2001: A Apace Odyssey
Seven Samurai
Raiders of the Lost Arc
Fight Club
It's a Wonderful Life
Apocalypse Now
Dr Strangelove
Taxi Driver
The Terminator
Aliens
A Clockwork Orange
District 9
many more...
Back to the Future

Predator
Predator 2
Alien
Aliens
Terminator
Terminator 2
Robocop
Nightmare on Elm Street
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Friday the 13th
Evil Dead
Dawn of The Dead

Those are the ones I can think of from the top of my head.
I know some have had remakes but they where unnecessary

It's a scary time for us, even when there's a good horror film, it never gets a sequel to mold us a slasher icon. I can't name one that has the potential, but there's a few I bet, but they just never had the opportunity to stood out and shine.

I know. We need a film that scares people in a new way,that is not familiar territory but it also needs to be mainstream to have an impact.

Do you think we should move on from the slasher icon formula, the ones that has the same slasher consistently appearing, generating more sequels?

Yeah I do, maybe they could do something with the slasher formula but add something new.The more slasher films that came along the worse they got.

SAW and its sequels is a good example of what could happen...
Yes, I agree, they need to look into the formula, I want it to stay. This genre sometimes is treated horribly wrong, still.

Yeah and I mean fear is our strongest emotion,you would think they could up with something new more often.

Would you dare challenge perfection?
Though I would go for the movie if there is one :)
Casablanca
The African Queen
Ben-Hur
Spartacus
The Bridge over the River Kwai
Any John Wayne film
Any James Bond film
Original Star Wars Trilogy
Public Enemy (Cagney)
Little Caesar (Edward G Robinson)
White Heat
Jurassic Park
Terminator 1 and 2
Alien and Aliens
Predator
The Roaring Twenties
Night Stalker
Thunder Road
Maltese Falcon
Goodfellas
I could go on and on and on.
I'm of the opinion that any movie that was received positively (or that became a cult classic) doesn't need a remake.
It's movies that obviously had potential, but which were handled poorly, that should be redone.
