10 Movies From The 90s That Should Be Remade

9. The Last Action Hero

Audiences were not kind to film spoofs that were not Mel Brooks associated, and Shane Black and John McTiernan's The Last Action Hero was no exception. However, it's still an incredibly enjoyable watch, with special effects that have held up quite well, and a premise just silly enough to be done over and explored more coherently. It was a movie a bit ahead of its time (we're still making the movies it takes its jabs at), and in an era where homage films like The Expendables makes buckets at the box office, and we see action movie stars as punchlines (Liam Neeson), this could be the perfect time for The Last Action Hero to make a comeback. So, who should take over? It'd be sort of neat to see father/son duo Will and Jaden Smith in this kind of movie, but I wouldn't be opposed to Jason Statham and Joel Courtney(Super 8).

Cameron Carpenter is an aspiring screenwriter, current film and journalism student, and self-diagnosed cinephile, which only sounds bad in certain circles. Devoted fan of comics, movies, theater, Jesus Christ, Sidney Lumet, and Peter O'Toole, he sometimes spends too much time on his Scribd and comicbookmovie.com, but doesn't think you're one to judge, devoted reader. You can follow him on Twitter to watch him talk to people you didn't know exist. Oh, and Daredevil is quite the big deal around here (my head).
