10 80s Movies That Should Be Remade

3. Cocoon (1985)

I can't help but shed a tear whenever I watch Cocoon. It's one of those films, I'm sure you'll agree, whenever it's on TV (even half way through) you can't help but sit down and finish watching it, like many favoured films. I would be intrigued to see how a remake would be approached. Perhaps this time it could be presented as a British film with a cast of legendary leading actors such as: Michael Caine, Anthony Hopkins, Jim Broadbent, Bill Nighy, Timothy Spall, Helen Mirren, Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Julie Andrews, and Gemma Jones. It would also be interesting to see who would reprise the role of hunky local captain Jack Bonner (played by Steve Guttenberg). My oh my the possibilities are endless...

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!
