But where do we draw the line? To figure that out, we went to Reddit and rounded up the list of movies that should never, EVER be remade!

    Anything by Monty Python. They can't be improved on and the dodgy special effects only add to the humor.

    Beetlejuice. There's really no beating the casting of that movie as it was.

    Besides the fact that Tom Hanks was perfect, I don’t see a modern remake of Forrest Gump being received well based on cultural shifts alone

    Stand By Me

    That combo of young actors just worked so well, and I just can’t imagine it would work so well again

    The Truman Show. Jim Carrey was the perfect actor for a movie that’s both slightly comedic and tragic at the same time.

    Jaws! The shark was huge but nothing in the movie was unbelievable. It was paced beautifully. The "we delivered the bomb" scene is incredible.

    Back to the Future

    Mr. Bean. No one will ever be able to recreate the character as well as Rowan Atkinson. Really anything from Rowan Atkinson can never be remade. Blackadder for instance

    Pulp Fiction. Fortunately, Tarantino makes movies that I don't think anyone would even attempt to try to remake.

    Labyrinth. I like to think that David Bowie didn’t realize they were making a movie and thought it was all real.

    Groundhog Day

    But it would be hilarious to re-release it and pretend it’s a new movie

    Big Trouble in Little China. It’s already about as close to perfect as a movie can be and is also very much a movie of its time.

    Alien (1979). It’s still so good 40+ years later.

    A remake of Airplane? Surely, you can’t be serious!

    Shawshank. There are no advances in technology, cinematography, writing, or acting that could possibly add anything to that movie.

    You've Got Mail

    There's no way that concept works in any year outside of the 1997-1999 range.
