And preferably closer to what's in the book and it's companion The Zombie Survival Guide described instead of what we got with the Brad Pitt film, right?
What movies do you want remade?

That's the entire point. Yes.
My friends and I talk about this quite a bit and sadly... I have to agree. While the films are good "turn your brain off and have fun" there was SO much left out and a deeper and darker story, and ultimate fall to the dark side, to be told. Anakin's fall started early as a child (being a slave, pulled from his mother, her death, etc) but the internal struggles were never explored. I like the idea NeilT had with having Anakin already a Jedi or at least a Padawan - skip the childhood. The Master and Council could also ref his past and wrong doings...
There is a still a rich environment to explore but I don't think we'll ever see this realized.

None! Stop remaking movies, for God's sake and do something original.

I think Atlantis: the Lost Empire and Treasure Planet could be excellently redone by today’s standards. Sure, they didn’t do so great in theaters, but Disney is going to be drowning in cash soon (I’m looking at you Avengers: Endgame and Disney Parks price hikes), so if they could go back to these even just to add to their catalog, that would be great. For example, Alcon Entertainment made the right call (creatively speaking) in making Blade Runner 2049, despite sad box office numbers (however, it has had unusually great home video sales for about a year now).
Or stop making movies altogether,and give our brains a rest ! !
I don't know about remaking it exactly but I want to see Monty Python's Meaning of Life redone in a similar fashion to the previous two films, with a connecting narrative spine running throughout.
It could still be a sardonic take on the seven ages of man but maybe follow a single character and see it from his point of view. I know it won't ever be done because Graham Chapman's been dead for 30 years and now Terry Jones has dementia (and the rest of the group of stonking old) but maybe it shouldn't be a direct MP movie but like a spiritual successor.

I'd have liked to have seen The Invisible Man remade with modern day ideas. In the original, Jack Griffin wants to use his power of invisibility to gain personal wealth and power. I'd like to see that applied to the modern world. The terrorism of a man who can only show up on infrared. Had Tom Cruise and his ridiculous Mummy movie not ruined the Universal Monsterverse before its feet even left the ground, we might have gotten it.
Alien 3 because the first one was crap as a story continuation, or just re-edit it so that the whole thing is a dream sequence whilst Ripley is in cryo-sleep and she wakes up as they arrive at Gateway station. Just scrap Alien Resurrection!
Prometheus and Alien Covenant, the entire the Aliens were manufactured and David storyline AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH
AVP2 nuff said, it made AVP 1 look like Citizen Kane!
Highlander 2, 3, 4 or alternatively just scrap every Highlander sequel as they were all crap or remakes of the first movie.
How about remastering some classic movies instead of re-making them. I would love to see a remastered Forbidden Planet with upgraded laser gun, fence and monster effects etc as long as there is no CGI overkill and the cool ship, Robbie, gun designs remained the same.

I'm not sure I'd say that I want anything remade, per se, but I wouldn't mind seeing some stuff get rebooted, or taking a similar story and putting it into a new setting. I guess if that qualifies as a remake, I'd be cool with it in some circumstances.
Green Lantern could absolutely use a reboot. And honestly, Ryan Reynolds was perfectly cast for Hal Jordan. The problem was that he had ZERO on screen chemistry with his wife and that the film's story was just...dumb. Plus I didn't like the "bacon" outfit.
I've always thought it'd be cool to do sci-fi versions of old westerns, as a way to bring the stories to modern audiences. It's not that the old movies are bad, so much as it's that there's a stigma surrounding westerns that makes it damn near impossible to get people to watch them. It's something about the setting itself, I think. But sci-fi? People will totally go for that. My favorite idea in this vein is a remake of Stagecoach on some alien planet or something.

Fist Full of Credits?; For a Few Credits More; The Good, the Bad, the Ferengi ?
done well I'd enjoy them. so many good westerns themselves are already remade samurai flicks, and some have been redone in more modern times already (Last Man Standing being a Yojimbo/fist full of dollars remake; while not super modern, it's got machine guns and cars).
I loved the TNG episode "A Fist Full of Datas" which is a sci-fi take on "A Fist Full of Dollars".
