10 Classic Films That Should Be Remade

10. Clue

This classic comedy romp is something that on paper shouldn't work, but Clue combines some great comedy moments, genuinely intriguing mystery and brilliantly energetic performances from its cast to produce a fantastic title.

Based on the board game Cluedo, this film plays with the simple premise of a group of people who've been invited to a mansion, only to find a man dead. Each of them has a motive, and it's up to them and the audience to figure out who did it.

It's a harmless and straightforward film that is pure fun, with an Agatha Christie-like set-up and style, infused with tongue-in-cheek self-awareness. Additionally, the film masterfully employed multiple endings and screened different ones in each cinema. This was a great way to get people talking, and if it were done in a contemporary setting, word of mouth could travel much faster thanks to the internet.

Ultimately it deserves to be remade as the concept is simple but timeless, and an updated version could approach the topic in a much more stylised way. The only thing missing in the original is the sense of colour and personality that the board game has, and a new chance to update that would make for a bright and fun film.
