Which are you excited about? Which are you worried about?
Are there any movies you wish were on this list?

Some of these are classics and I'm having a hard time thinking how they could be improved.
Being from the 80s is a part of the charm for some of these films.

You can read the full article on Yahoo! (link at the top) to see the current development of these movies.

The Never Ending Story should be on there.

They're gonna ruin Scarface smh

Excited and worried for An American Werewolf in London, Videodrome & Poltergeist.

Weird Science is the only one I like from that list. I'll be interested to see the remake.

I can't believe we'll probably get 90's remakes in the next decade

They need to remake The Last Dragon.

I'm excited for Weird Science, Dirty Dancing and Scarface though.

all the horror ones tbh

They can leave Scarface alone. You don't remake a classic.

This is like remaking Psycho or Casablanca.... de fuk?

And Poltergeist? Monstersquad? Leave the classics alone!

As long as they don't mess with Back to the Future, we're good.

Hollywood needs to start having original ideas. Stop re-making classic films and start making future classics.

I'm ready for Queen Quvenzhané to slay Annie.

Ya'll will probably take this the wrong way but I think that they should have left Annie white

How should we take it? Why does Annie need to be white?

I'm not looking forward to the Annie remake or the Vacation remake. If this is what the singing in Annie is going to be like, http://cms.springboard.gorillanation...o/803139/0/0/1, then I'm not interested. Hopefully there will be a decent film adaptation of the stage musical one day. In regards to Vacation, I don't see the point of remaking that film to be honest.

Yes the best movie ever

Dirty Dancing was already redone and flopped

The iconic highlander with ICON QUEEN songs . Leave it alone. The movie industry is smart enough to leave the classics alone. Pretty in pink. Breakfast Club etc....

Omg I would love a Pet Sematary remake

Videodrome

They should def leave Weird Science alone.
