There are some stories that are so good they can be retold a thousand times and still give you something new (Cinderella, Romeo & Juliette, most Gangster movies) There are some stories that are so bad, they could be redone in hopes of saving what might be a glimmer of hope (Man Hunter, which turned into Red Dragon). But still, there are some that really should never ever be redone because they were a) that good, or b) that dated, or c) cannot add anything more to make it great because the story isn’t all that deep. Some examples of these are Dirty Dancing (NO BODY puts Baby in the corner… that means you ‘Havana Nights‘), Lost Boys the Tribe, and any of the “Brat Pack” movies from the 80′s. I heard a rumor (unsubstantiated by a brief internet search) that someone wants to remake the Breakfast Club.

Oh please don’t do this. A spoof — OK, not my thing, but could work. But the actual remake would only be a disaster. Judd Nelson is the only ‘Johnny’ and Molly Ringwald is the only ‘Claire’. Don’t EVEN think that Brian can be redone… really people. Think about your actions before you do this…

Don’t you… remake this movie.

I won’t be alone, begging you not to baby.

Don’t you… tear it apart. You know you can’t pull it together again..

Don’t you… remake this movie..

I say please no no no no. No no no no. No no no no no No No No No No
