We're all aware of the biggest trend in movie making today... the Reboot/Remake. It's simple and a safe bet because you take an existing film with a built in audience and add a few cg effects and *boom* a new, old money-maker. IGN.com recently came out with a list of the top 10 films that should be left untouched and un-updated:
1. The Exorcist
2. The Godfather
3. Blade Runner
4. Ghostbusters
5. The Terminator
6. Raiders of the Lost Ark
7. The Wizard of Oz
8. Poltergeist
9. Jaws
10. Alien
I think it's a pretty good list. It's not necessarily a list of the best or most important films, but movies that are unique because they were executed well and a new film would miss the elements that make them great. I absolutely agree with "The Godfather", The Terminator", and "The Wizard of Oz". I'd also add "It's a Wonderful Life", "Citizen Kane", and "Jurassic Park".
What movies would you hate to see remade/rebooted?

Citizen Kane
Blade Runner
Rocky
The Manchurian Candidate (too late!)
yeah, the new manchurian candidate wasn't very good.
