10 80s Movies That Should Be Remade

10. The Goonies (1985)

GOONIES NEVER SAY DIE! Although I would initially cry at the thought of Richard Donner's The Goonies being remade, I'm intrigued as to how Hollywood would approach a remake today. With the rise of technology, I doubt D.I.Y. gadgets would be made from household appliances. I wouldn't be surprised if the new Goonies would all be sat in the same room, on their laptops, creating a virtual forum for their electronic antics, as many kids don't really play outside much nowadays... Or it could have the potential to be brilliant with action sequences like those of the Harry Potter series and contribute to the fond childhood memories of future generations.

As a one-of-a-kind twenty-something film fanatic and culture vulture... I have a 1st Class Honours degree in English Literature with Film Studies & Media Cultures. Along with recently completing MA by Research in Film Studies, I aspire to be a film critic and yearn for the opportunity to roll around on the red carpet (with or without Christian Bale in his Batsuit). Always openly embracing films of all genres and nations, although anything Studio Ghibli related will always have a place in my heart. Believes normality is overrated!
