10 Films Hollywood Should Actually Remake

No doubt there are already some of you turning your nose up at this suggestion. "Remake a Cronenberg classic? Sacrilege!"

Listen, Videodrome (1983) is a fantastically weird film, a true representation of David Cronenberg's twisted, nightmare-inducing imagination, but you'd be wrong to say that both the practical effects and the use of James Woods have held up particularly well in the modern day.

This kind of film would require an equally weird successor, someone who knows how to craft a universe founded in the absurd and visually-alienating. Jean-Pierre Jeunet, the french wizard of weird, could do this: he may have been shunned for Alien: Resurrection (1997) but this might be in part due to the fact that his particular style of directing wasn't suited to a franchise that prided itself on being dark and weighty.

Jeunet's filmography is in no way serious but it can be extremely camp and oddball-esque, take Delicatessen (1991) for example. He may well be able to put the uniquely bizarre spin on Videodrome that it deserves in a modern reimagining.
