With all the remakes that Hollywood is doing, what show or film would you like to see get remade or rebooted? Technology has come so far, and it looks like it’s only advancing. Here are 25 Nearly Forgotten Movies and TV Shows That Deserve Reboots. The show ran for four years and ended in 1990. It would be interesting to see what the Lomaxes have been up to. Altered States was a science fiction movie starring William Hurt as a scientist who tries to prove that other states of consciousness are as real as the ones we experience while awake. He begins taking hallucinogens and goes into a sensory deprivation chamber, where he goes on one long nightmare of a drug trip. The movie had some great visuals for the ’80s. Just imagine what they could do now. They could either do a remake or a reboot. A reboot would be cool because there are a lot of actors we would love to see share the screen again. The only problem with the plan is that one of the cast members (Alison Mack) may be going to prison for a long time for sex trafficking. It may be interesting to see how they would do a remake. Would they use the same storyline of the original or change it around? The book and movie were about a gang in England led by Alex DeLarge whose enjoyment derives from raping, fighting, and terrorizing innocent people. We’re sure, with all that’s going on in the world today, it wouldn’t be hard to do a realistic remake of this movie. The show didn’t run for very long but it was a cult classic. It centers around Lindsay, a smart girl trying to shed her geeky image, and her younger (also geeky) brother, Sam, as they try to survive growing up. It’s probably the only movie based on a board game that was any good. Let’s hope the remake does the original justice. The show ran for five years, but problems arose when Tisha Campbell, who played Martin’s girlfriend, Gina, accused the actor of sexual harassment. The feud lasted 20 years, but in 2018 they made peace and there is the talk of a reunion show taking place. The graphics and special effects were amazing. If remade today, it could be outstanding. In order to pay homage to the late singer, they would need to cast someone who would do the role justice. If you were a Cheers fan, you know the rest of that song. Cheers had some memorable characters: Sam Malone (the handsome bartender played by Ted Danson), Diane (Shelly Long), Norm (the regular), Cliff (the mailman), and (lest we forget) a very young Woody Harrelson. Oh, and Rhea Pearlman as the sarcastic scene-stealing waitress, Carla. The setting of Cheers was in a bar in Boston and dealt with the lives of the workers and patrons. Although it was a sitcom, if it were done as a reboot, hopefully, Norm will have stopped drinking after 30 something years. Let’s do a quick recap. A high schooler named Sarah is obsessed with fantasy roleplay. She has to babysit her baby brother, Toby. After she tells her brother a scary story, she says the dreaded words, “I wish the goblins would take you away, right now.” Thus begins an epic quest of Sarah and a squad of new friends she meets on her way to rescue her brother from the evil Goblin King. It’s been quite some time. Let’s see what they’ve all been up to since prison. Of course, they could never do this show as a remake. It would have to be the original cast, which may be a problem for Julia-Louie Dreyfuss who played Elaine. She currently stars on the HBO show Veep. The movie shows her going around NYC looking for Telly to tell him he infected her before he can infect someone else. Telly doesn’t know he is positive because he thinks he is only having sex with virgins. When this movie came out, it was during the time we didn’t have as much information about HIV and Aids as we do now. It was also before cellphones were widely used. So, now that cellphones are everywhere, they would need to come up with an entirely different storyline, while still keeping the integrity of the story. The acting was great, especially John Glover as “The Devil”. The plot was great too: souls escaping Hell and a good cop gets sent to Hell has to track them down. They could do this as a reboot, or a remake. Either way is good for us. Maybe the actors go to Saudia Arabia with the CIA while they get mistaken for an elite group of agents. Actor Chris Hemsworth supposedly wants to remake Three Amigos. It could be interesting to watch … and highly entertaining. New episodes, new evils to fight, and better CGI. We can also see if Buffy ends up with Angel or Spike. Broderick played a young hacker who almost starts World War 3. The movie is a classic ’80s film and can definitely be made with stories of wars that are happening today. Toward the end of the show, Joan is introduced to a mysterious stranger (played by Wentworth Miller of the show Prison Break). Miller’s character was supposed to be the opposite of Joan. What happened to these characters, in the ultimate fight of good versus evil? You know what? Maybe bring back the original cast and do the whole remake over again. Then, hopefully, it would be better. It’s been quite some time. Perhaps we could have a reboot and Fran has to train a new nanny (a millennial activist), or a remake with a new star. Drescher has mentioned she’d like to see rapper Cardi B as the “Nanny”. What do you think the storyline could be? Would you want new faces or the old ones? Since they’ve already shrunk the kids, shrunk themselves, and even made one of the kids humongous, maybe they need to shrink Earth. Every week, Beckett was in a different time and a different body. In the last episode, he leaps into himself, rights a wrong for a friend, and is never seen or heard from. We need to know what happened to Dr. Beckett. Donald Bellisario (the creator of the show) apparently has been working on a movie script of the show. These landlords are the definition of true evil. They are racist and imprison their family members under the house (hence the title). A remake could be great. Mix a little Purge in there, maybe a dash of The Hills Have Eyes. Before Wes Craven died, there were talks of a remake. There is nothing wrong with a modern take on the story. It could even be made into a drama series. In fact, they already did a movie The Brady Bunch back in 1995 and it was pretty funny. The music in the movie was great, however, and it would be interesting to see a new cast and new directors take on the film. (Maybe have Marilyn Manson play The Toymaker.) Facts of Life was a coming-of-age story that focused on the house mother of a group of girls at a boarding school. The show had the snobby girl, the bad girl, and the naive, innocent girl. The show lasted nine years. Facts of Life would make a good reboot using issues that young people of today face. The stars of the show could even play mentors to the new group of wayward teens.
