10 80s Movies That Should Be Remade

by Nafissa Jeetoo

1. E.T.The Extra-Terrestrial (1982)

OK please don't kill me! I was emotionally reluctant whilst putting down E.T. on this list as I truly love this film and, like many others, I don't want my childhood to slip away with regretful remakes. It was hard enough having to omit as many classics as I could. However, if E.T was to be remade or rebooted, it would have to be a bloody good attempt at reviving the adorable alien! Like many films being brought to the surface and haven't been tampered with, such as Jurassic Park, this means a 3D release is nigh. I wouldn't be surprised if E.T. is also due a 3D release or perhaps even a 4D release... If you disagree with the remake concept as a whole, I hope at least you had a reminiscent trip down memory lane. On the other hand, if you feel there are other 80's classics that should be remade for the future generation I would also like to know. So feel free to leave a comment and discuss your thoughts below.

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!
