4. Swing Kids
If anything, a remake would bring attention to this masterpiece, which has so constantly been overlooked that it's absolutely disgusting. The film follows a group of friends who grow up in Nazi Germany who listen to American swing music and moonlight as swing dancers in a country where the activities are considered illicit. It featured two powerful performances from young Christian Bale (fresh out of
Newsies) and the incredible Robert Sean Leonard (recovering from all the praise in
Dead Poets Society). It's a movie I'd like to give to the likes of
Marc Forster (
Finding Neverland, Stranger Than Fiction) with
Andrew Garfield and
Daniel Radcliffe in the leads.
