3. Gremlins
They dont make kids movies like they used to. Case in point is Joe Dantes 1984 Gremlins. It introduced the world to Gizmo the Mogwai and the three famous rules: Never expose him to bright light, never get him wet, and never ever feed him after midnight. Of course, rules this rigid are only bound to be broken and the result is one of the best horror comedies ever made. For many a child of the eighties it was their first horror film and holds a very special in a lot of hearts. While Gizmo still holds the prestigious title of most adorable animatronic puppet in cinematic history, the movie is clearly remembered for the pure insanity caused by the gremlins. After all, the movie isnt called Gizmo. When these monsters show up on the screen, audiences are subjected to live action mayhem that resembles the best slapstick only found in cartoons. Granted, a lot of parents were not as amused but the kids loved it. With films unfortunately becoming more and more blamed for real life violence, a Gremlins remake would not bode well in this day and age unless you stripped of its mayhem and anarchy. But without it, its not Gremlins, just some movie that bares a strange resemblance to it. More disheartening news for fans. Rumors are flying that none other than Seth Grahame-Smith is on board to produce. For those who may not remember, Seth Grahame-Smith was the scribe who wrote the Dark Shadows remake. Doesnt anybody remember how that went down?
