10 Movies From The 90s That Should Be Remade

3. Speed

So, we don't want to touch Heat. And we'll leave The Rock alone. Is Speed alright to remake? In theory, there's a lot of ways you could screw it up, but it's also important to remember that it has one of the most basic plots ever. IMdB states the film is about "A young cop that must prevent a bomb exploding aboard a city bus by keeping its speed above 50 mph." While people might roll their eyes at the idea of it being remade, it certainly isn't the kind of movie that is so highly revered and respected for its cinematic greatness that boycotts would spring up all over the web. If Premium Rush can turn out to be pretty good, why not give this one another shot? I see it being a bit of a success under James Mangold's (3:10 to Yuma, Walk the Line) direction, with Joel Kinnaman, Rashida Jones, and Ian McShane all joining in, too.
