13 Films That Should Never Be Remade...

Oct 19 | by _YBF

Sparkle, Juice and Steel Magnolias are among the classic films currently getting the “remake” treatment in Hollywood…and not everyone is happy about it. So before any further chaos is caused, we've got the DO NOT REMAKE list for budding Hollywood producers.

These are the movies that need to be left where they're at. Check it inside…

Some movies are good the first go round. Times may changes, people may change, but some ish just needs to be left alone. From Breakfast at Tiffany's to Titanic to Boyz In The Hood (Nia Long & Cuba Gooding, Jr. pictured above on the set), you can’t recreate that type of magic….so why try?

Check out our DO NOT REMAKE gallery for others that should NEVER be put into new production…again....

My whole thing is why remake

My whole thing is why remake sparkle when they already came out with dream girls...no its not the same plot but its kinda on the same basis, i mean i thought thats why they made the movie so the wouldnt have to remake sparkle...i personally dont think it should be remade, but on another note they're supposed to be remaking the breakfast club and ferris bueller's day off, doesnt make any sense

Some of you need to learn the

Some of you need to learn the difference between a sequel/part 2 and a remake. A remake of a movie is somewhat of a copy of an original movie usually with different characters. A sequel is the continuation of another movie (usually). It's tied into the first movie but is different and usually has the same cast as the first movie. Best Man is not being remade but is going to have a sequel. Waiting to Exhale, sequel. Juice, Sparkle, Steel Magnolias are all going to be remakes.

boomerang isnt a classic but

boomerang isnt a classic but the soundtrack for boomerang was great! Remakes can be ok if they have the original cast... if not.... dont mess with it period.... the best man is being remade but all the original actors (which were good) are on board.... but the bad news about that is its repetitive... economy is bad...im not paying to see a movie that i already have on the shelf....sorry! except the remake of waiting to exhale... they were in talks of doing that but after a month there was no talk of it anymore... as long as I dont have that depressing ass movie precious again Im ok

For me, Sparkle is okay to be

For me, Sparkle is okay to be remade..it reminds of me Dream Girls, and I felt like the recent movie was really good. Steel Magnolias...this movie is fine on its own and I just don't feel like I need to see a black version. Isn't that pretty much what Women of Brewster Place was? Juice....now this just pisses me off. I mean really? Especially with SOULJA BOY? Is this who we are comparing to Pac? Makes me want to slap ten 20 year olds just on GP.

I don't like the idea of sparkle is going to be remade because there are things with sister that's not going remade in that same way. however I also don't like the idea of any of these classic movies being remade I think they should look for the new black flim writers that need there movies to come out

I hate remakes especially since I seen these movies when they first came out except for Breakast At Tiffany's. It's sad that Hollyweird ( black and white) has lost it's creativity so all they can do is remake movies.

Well they should NEVER remake

Well they should NEVER remake the SNL skit "Shy Ronnie" that features Rihanna. Rihanna did so well in this skit. Her PERFORMANCE was critically acclaimed. She REALLY deserved an oscar for that. I mean I havent laughed SO HARD in years.

As much as I adore Whitney Houston (in her prime), Sparkle DOES NOT need to be remade!!

I agree! I think Sparkle

I agree! I think Sparkle should be left alone. Whitney will sing and be the mother *sigh* and Jordan as Sparkle? And I'm not gonna speak on that old broad who will play Sister. I love Sparkle and that is one of my favorite movies and it should be left as is, despite of what others think.

Why not? The original one

Why not? The original one wasn't that great, it could definitely be upgraded. The only problem is that this new cast is lackluster, which is the only problem I have with it being remade.

What's with all of the

What's with all of the remakes?? I think it's pathetic that Hollywood is going the cheap and easy way out. These movies are generational cult classics. I've been reading some of the reviews for Footloose and most of them are negative. Leave well-enough alone and come up with new stuff. Geez, with all of this modern-technology, you would think that creativity would be going through the roof. Instead it seems to make people lazy.

If they try to remake Juice I will definitely be pissed as no one can play those roles like the original characters did...Omar Epps, 2Pac, my baby Raheim (always forget his real name since I'm always calling him Raheim, lol.)

I hate to break it to you,

I hate to break it to you, but I could swear that I heard they were doing a Juice remake starring Soulja Boy. I heard about that several months ago, and I wanted to slit my throat at the thought of it. Juice is a black classic. They better not remake Love Jones or The Five Heartbeats either.

They are in talks about remaking Jucie and I can not understand why they would pick that bot tp be in it. If they are going to do their are so many young black actors who would be a much better suited for the part.

Love Jones needs to

Love Jones needs to definitely be on this list for sure. I can see breakfast club, mahogany, and annie being remade, some classics have no choice but to be remade for the masses of today, like Mahogany for example, people would love to see a big pop star of today portray that role just for the curiosity alone. But Boyz in the Hood needs to remain where it is, What's love got to do with it, coming to america... But I don't think Boomerang should be on this list tho.... Menace to Society is another classic that should be left alone also.... And are they seriously thinking of remaking JUICE!? NOOOO!!!!!!

There's more than 5 on the list! :) I am totally with you on What's Love Got To Do With It, Boomerang, Boyz N The Hood, Coming To America, Pretty Woman, Roots, Scarface, The Breakfast Club, School Daze, and The Notebook. They are either too specific to the time they were made, too specific to the director or were only good because those particular actors played the parts (especially for Pretty Woman). I could see Mahogany being updated. That story could work today with some tweaking. And I do think Annie is ripe for a remake as well, though it needs to be "re-imagined" more than remade. That could be a really good vehicle for Willow. The Color Purple is already being done as a musical, based on the play. I think that could be good. Fun list!

Stories that make it to

Stories that make it to Broadway are not really considered remakes. Like the movie The Color Purple wasn't considered a remake of the book. Word to the wise: Leave The Color Purple alone. I can't imagine one actor in Hollywood that could reinterpret or play any of the characters better than the origianl cast.
