Well it's been a while since the TOP SPOT has graced this blog but on a slow news day IT RETURNS! Enjoy!

The TOP 10 movies that SHOULD NEVER BE remade

The following films should in no way ever be touch again by cinematic “Masterminds” all that would ever be done would be the tarnishing of the originals impact. Anyway on with the list…

10. Star Wars

Need I say more, sure Lucas screwed the pooch with the Prequels but they don’t hinder the original in my eyes. I don’t care and admittedly would be pretty excited if he made a sequel trilogy but I never want to see another movie release titled The Empire Strikes Back starring Zac Efron as Han Solo…

9. Evil Dead

Count me as one of the ones who in no way wants to see a remake/reboot of Evil Dead. The original trilogy is just perfect for what they were trying to do and you just cant replace Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi in their prime.

8. Fight Club

I was late to the game in watching Fight Club, didn’t watch it for the first time until last year and since then I’ve seen the film probably 9 or 10 times. I went many years denying to myself the greatness of this film and regret it now. There would be no positive outcome if someone thought they could one up Fincher.

7. Shaun of the Dead/Hot Fuzz

Any pairing of Wright/Frost/Pegg should NEVER under ANY circumstances try to be recreated at home, it’s just a recipe for disaster. That god this films got U.S. releases and cemented the trio’s star status in American or I could have totally seen an attempted remake. Just look at the Spaced remake if you want to know how bad things could get.

6. There Will Be Blood

NO ONE should ever play Daniel Plainview again unless his name is Daniel Day Lewis.

5. Pulp Fiction

I could imagine a remake of Reservoir Dogs actually working with a beefed up cast and larger scale. I’m not saying that I think it or any Q.T. movie for that matter will ever me remade but if the thought ever crossed someone’s mind to dabble then I just suggest they avoid Pulp Fiction like the plague because its one of his movies that if you remove his “touch” just wouldn’t be nearly as good.

4. Unforgiven

Classic Clint (PERIOD)

3. Trainspotting

It’s my favorite movie so ofcourse I feel very protective of it but I just can’t for the life of me imagine any other actors in the roles of Renton, Sick Boy, Begbie and the rest. When I read the book it’s those actors whose voices fill my head. Now if you want to make Porno into a movie already I’d be down for that, you hear me Danny Boyle. Please

2. Goodfellas

Yeah Yeah, I’m Italian blah blah BUT actually I HATE most mob movies including The Godfather and Scarface but there is just something about Goodfellas that works SOOO well and unless you could get every single actor back and shoot a shot for shot remake then I have no Interest what-so-ever.

And the TOP SPOT goes to...

1. The Shawshank Redemption

Could it be anything else? The Top flick on IMDB’s top 250 films of all time list FOR A REASON. It’s one of those movies that whenever its on no matter what part, edited for TV or not I could just watch and be memorized. The best Stephen King Adaptation BY FAR, the best Tim Robbins role BY FAR, the best Frank Darabont film BY FAR, the best prison flick BY FAR, the list goes on and on.

"So what are you thinking, Curveball?"

Robbins and Morgan Freeman were tailor made to play their roles, it’s as if God was thinking one day “Hmm one day there will be a movie based on Shawshank so I better get to creating a perfect Andy and Red” I’m sorry I’m gushing but let it be known if any producer out in Hollywood EVER tries to get funny with Shawshank…I WILL FIND YOU!
