10 Movies That Should Be Remade Next

Despite being a relic of Cold War paranoia that hasn't aged well from either a technological or thematic standpoint, WarGames remains an immensely enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours on a Saturday afternoon. Perhaps even more surprising is that nobody in Hollywood has thought of remaking it over the last 35 years, given the advances in both computer and military technology in the intervening years.

The story follows a young hacker who inadvertently accesses a United States military supercomputer under the belief he is playing a video game, and almost starts World War III in the process.

With nuclear tensions an increasing concern, not to mention the rise of drone technology and even the incredible expansion of online gaming across the world in the last decade, WarGames could be both a parable on the modern definition of war and an entertaining thriller to boot.
