Would You Re-Make Your Favorite Film?

Re-makes are being pumped out left and right these days, particularly in the horror genre. While many say these re-makes aren't needed when the classics are so good, I've felt that some have been a breath of fresh air that compliments or even trumps the original films quite nicely.  
 
That being said, would you re-make your favorite film of all time? Who would you cast in it? If it's already been re-made, do you approve of it? 
 
My favorite movie is Jaws, I've seen it more times than I can possibly recall. If given the chance to re-make it I would, but I would make sure that NO CGI sharks would be involved.  
 
Casting: 
 
Jackie Earle Haley as Quint 
Steve Buscemi as Hooper 
George Clooney as Brody 
 
Odd choices, I know.

I don't really know. It's such a hard choice. My favorite movie is Gattaca, and I feel like a remake could be horrible, but that there is a slight chance that with the right team behind it there could be a fairly good remake.

No.  
 
I'd fucking ruin it.

" @Everyones_A_Critic: Dude, you'd remake Jaws? That almost offends me. It still holds up very nicely.  I think remakes are often times a bad idea. If I think a movie should be remade, there's no way it would ever qualify as being one of my favorites. "

No

Hell no. Blade Runner can never be remade.

Why would I remake an already fantastic movie from 1998?? And my favorite movie is Magnolia by the way... 
 
EDIT: Oops... don't know why i said 1998, I meant 1999. Dumb typo.

Probably not. It's only a year old so that would be a odd thing to do. Plus it's already damn perfect.

If anyone even tries to remake Back to the Future I will lose my mind.

You'd remake arguably the best horror films of all time?? Shame on you... it's near perfect already. "

Never

" Never "

" @Everyones_A_Critic: It is?? God damnit... please don't tell me it's by some hack director and going straight to DVD or something like that. Hate to tarnish a good name.  And The Excorcist is quite good, but I think I've always held The Thing supreme for horror films... "

No. The Shawshank Redemption was PERFECT.

A Clockwork Orange is something I wouldn't meddle with. It's thought provoking, visually striking, perfectly acted cinema. So why change it?

No, this film is and still is a classic 
 

I'd remaster it, what makes a favorite film favorite are the individual performances and how they worked together. Which is exactly what you dont get in a remake. Now if you wanna go back and remaster Legend, and make some of the more dated scenes (like the fight at the end where you can see the guy inside the demon suit during the fight) well that grand, Stan, Im all for it. But have respect for what made it a classic in the first place.

If it isn't broken, don't fix it. 

No way.  My favorite movie doesn't really revolve around special effects or anything like that so yeaaaa.

" No, I think James Cameron would come and kill me in my sleep...IN 3D! "

Hmm...my favorite film is animated, but I wouldn't mind making a live-action version. I'd probably ruin it though.

Instead of the happy ending of Fight Club, I would have the narrator kill both himself and Tyler Durden (as opposed to killing Tyler but he himself somehow surviving), then roll credits.
 
Keep everything else the same.

" If anyone even tries to remake Back to the Future I will lose my mind. "

Ferris Bueller's Day Off would be terrible if you remade that. You CAN'T remake it anyway.

I couldn't pull off a remake of any of my favorite films. I'd mutilate all of them, I just know it.

it's fine like it is... but it wouldn't hurt to make it darker and possibly fix up the plot... maybe add more secondary character stuff

No, Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back does not need to be remade. We've already seen what Lucas has done with new Star Wars, remaking the best film he's ever made would be a major mistake.

Taxi Driver

Dude I would LOVE a remake of "TANGO & CASH", but lets face it the original was perfect.

None of the Evil Dead movies need to be remade, if there must be a sequal, then Bruce Campbell needs to be lead acrtor.

Dude, that is still one of my favorite movies. No clue who the hell you could get to play them today. heh, exploding bazooka boots. "

Yeah, all of my favorite movies aren't dated. However, if I were to remake them, I would act every role, film and direct the whole production.

If it's good enough to be my favorite film then it wouldn't need a remake.

I don't know about remaking, and I don't know about "favorite movie," but someone needs to do another Titanic movie that doesn't focus on a fake ass love story.

I wouldn't remake my favourite film because I don't know how to make films .

No one can do Peewee's Big Adventure better than it already is.

 
Star Wars episodes 4-6. *sees angry mob approaching house* 
 
Now hold on. All I have to do is take the add-on effects that Mr. Lucas has made to the films, remove them, and done! A Star Wars trilogy that should have been as it was this entire time. *waits for mob response*
