10 80s Movies That Should Be Remade

5. Popeye (1980)

It's Popeye The Sailor Man! If Tin Tin can be revived then Popeye has to be revived too. The classic cartoon character (played convincingly by Robin Williams) simply cannot be forgotten, including the adorable Olive Oyl (Shelley Duvall) and burly boxer Bluto (Paul Smith). Although Popeye initially appeared in comic strips and animated cartoons, it would be interesting to see another film adaptation revolving around the antics of the spinach loving sailor. I'm pretty sure kids will start to eats their greens again!

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!
