10 Movies That Should Be Remade Next

10. High Noon

An undisputed classic of American cinema, High Noon may be over 60 years old but its central concept remains as strong as ever, and the narrative is just as well suited for a modern re-telling as it is for a straight-up remake.

Taking place almost entirely in real-time, the story follows an aging and newly-married lawman with his heart set on retirement that is dragged back into the fray one last time to take on a gang of outlaws that have descended upon his hometown despite being both vastly outnumbered and outgunned. Simple and effective, its basically Action Movie 101.

Arguably the first revisionist Western, the plot turned many of the genre's archetypes on its head and even caused some controversy in Hollywood due to alleged political undertones.

If a remake could follow the same narrative and character beats of the original while also respecting its refusal to adhere to genre conventions and sneaking in a little social commentary for good measure, then we could have something really special on our hands.
