3rd Dune

I guess I'll have to give the original movie another try sometime.

The main sticking point I get from folks is all the "inner dialogue" that you hear in the beginning.  Not too many people like that.  I personally had no issue with it.  For the fan-girls out there, you get to see a very youthful and ripped Sting in weird alien bikini-brief.  For the guys... Sean Young is in it.

Lotsa Hollywood names are in the movie... Kyle MacLachlan, Patrick Stewart, a very young Virginia Madsen, Brad Dourif, Linda Hunt, Dean Stockwell, Jack Nance.  Many of these folks and other cast members have gone on to do other big things.  Not saying this movie was a stepping stone for them, but for some... it helped add to the resume.

If there was any old fantasy/sci-fi movie you would like to see get re-made, what would it be?  I, personally, would love to see a nice remake of Excalibur (the 1981 Nigel Terry version).  Sure, there have been tons of King Arthur movies, but none in the same cinematic fashion and vein as the 1981 version.  Another film would be the Blade Runner.  Sure I love the original, but I feel that a new take and spin of the movie could be adapted and done.

Actually is was the big stepping stone for Kyle MacLachlan, it was his first big staring role. Now we all know my opinion in this is biased since it was made by David Lynch and he can do no wrong, cept for not finishing the story.

As for other remakes, Excaliber is about as perfect a movie about Arthur as you can get and shouldn't be touched. They're in the processes of making another one called Gallahad, where Guineverre frames him with Arthur's murder...no I'm not joking.

Blade Runner, I wouldn't touch either unless you make it more faithful to the original Philip K Dick source.

The soon to be wife would still like to see a good Black Cauldron movie made and we all would like to see a good D&D movie.

My co-worker just suggested Scanners.

Personally I would love to see My Science Project remade and see what they could do with technology now.
