ITT: movies that deserve a remake

its pretty fantastic as it is and doesn't need updating/tarnishing. the best they could do is replace the little girl actress maybe, but there aren't a whole lot of those that also act well so who cares
Scripts should get remade, not movies. Night of the Hunter has a good script but most of it's greatness is in the direction, cinematography, music, acting; things you can't recreate or do differently without taking away from it

just leave it alone,anon.
its good as it is

Couldn't be done today without being either overly gritty or hokey
Original is one of the GOATs however

I don't know why people keep wanting to remake classics. Just let them be classics and remake shitty B cult movies. I mean look at what John Carpenter did with the thing, after that abysmal suit with the zipper on the back in the original.

How can you not like Lilian Gish with a shotgun?
literally the only good thing about this movie is Mitchum. I don't get the love for it otherwise.

I agree, I feel like Howell should have been more of a threat/shouldn't have gone down so easily.

Did you know the critics bashed this so hard on release that Laughton never made another film?

it's kinda sad, he could have created good things.
in a positive way: as a director, he doesn't have ANY bad movie.
