I used to watch
"Metropolis" over and over, I was so mesmerised!! Maybe I'm biased from that love, that I can't see where anyone would take it and still follow the original's arc. I mean, the only way it happens these days, is by being gritty, dystopian and dark.
But that would make it like everything else that was influenced by it!
I loved Chaplin in
"The Great Dictator", but there's no way that could be remade!
"Battleship Potemkin"? I have heard of it, but never watched it. But reading the synopsis, I agree, it would make an excellent re-telling.
I've never heard of this film, but
"The Passion of Joan of Arc" is obviously the story we all know. I would like to see this re-done in a totally different setting.
Do you think
"Citizen Kane" can be bettered? I'm really not sure we have the directors, these days, with the vision or gravitas to pull it off.
"High Noon" is untouchable in my opinion.
"Night of The Hunter" is one I will have to watch. Was never a fan of Robert Mitchum.
"The Sword of Doom"! I'm embarrassed to say I haven't watched this film ever! I have no idea why! Well, maybe because I had watched a copious amount of sword films, at one point, they all seem to be similar-ish! But, that was years ago and it's time I put it on my list!
