Don't touch that film.

A list of some movies that should not be messed with.

I'm tired of movies being remade all the time.Nothing new seems to be coming out. If its not a remake, it's a sequel.... to a movie that doesn't need one.Or it's the same idea's just a different story.
Here is a small list of movie that I think should not be messed with in any way... but for some it's too late.

1. Labyrinth (1986).Sara wishes her baby step-brother away.He is taken away by the Goblin King.She is off on and adventure to find him in this labyrinth.Were she encounters many creatures along the way who become her friends,and help her along her way. There are also traps that the Goblin King Jareth.As she faces him in this final battle to save her step-brother Toby. A sequel is definitely not needed.The same thing with a remake.

2. The Goonies (1985).A group of friends go on search of the treasure of One-Eyed Willie. Avoiding booby traps and the Fratelli's.This movie would be a total meltdown if they remade it...but oh no looks like were a little too late. I read that they want to make a sequel..... thats right. I don't think it will do to good even if they do.

3. A Clockwork Orange(1971). Alex DeLarge and his three droogs.Alex loving Beethoven, and Ultra-Violence. Alex is later jailed for killing a woman.......After being jalied for a wile he is offered parole and has a chance to help with and experiment....Well for one thing no one can replace Stanley Kubrick or Alex for that matter.

4.The Breakfast Cub(1985).Brian, brought a flare gun to school and it went off in his locker.. Andrew,taped someone's butt cheeks together. Allison, has nothing better to do. Clair, skipped school to go shopping,and Bender,pulled a fire alarm.But In the end find out they have more in common then they though. Any John Hughes film should be left alone. Sixteen Candles,Weird Science,Pretty in Pink.. and any others I may have missed.

Nice list. Some of the best films of the 70s and 80s. I've read plans of a sequel to "Breakfast Club." I seriously hope it doesn't happen. Lightning doesn't strike twice.

What's with all the Clockwork Orange hate?A movie doesn't have to be EXACTLY like the book, y'know.I think it's simply genius in that 1941 kind of way.

I'd have to agree with WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot. Clockwork Orange never should have been made. I also agree with everyone else that the article's too short. You should have talked about some more movies. This wouldn't have been too bad if it were a top 10 list.

I have to agree with the other posters here. This article is way too short and brief. You need to go more in depth and list why you think these movies should not be remade. I personally believe (and so did Anthony Burgess) that "A Clockwork Orange" is weaker for cutting out the 21st chapter.

One other small thing, there is a sequel to Labyrinth. Tokyopop and the Hensen company got together to make "Return to Labyrinth", a comic book that deals with a 15 year old Toby returning to become the Goblin King.

one more film they better never mess with ack to the future i swear if they do im going to kill them

Let me just say that I think this is article was well done. I couldn't agree more that Hollywood has long run out of ideas and there's not much in the way of good stuff that comes out these days. That said I think I should add:

1) Remakes/sequels/prequels really don't destroy a good picture. Just don't go to see it.

2) A Clockwork Orange should never have been made in the first place.

PS, I didn't think the article was too short, it could have been longer but why tack on just for the sake of length. It was a nice quick read that got to the point. Maybe make it a part 1 in a series or something.

The good: This is a good premise for an article,

The bad: Unfortunately, this piece seems more like a teaser pamphlet or something more appropriate for the forums. As others have said, it is way to brief. It needs more background information, trivia, etc. to help readers both familiar and unfamiliar with the movies really get a sense of how great they are and why they should be left untouched by the remake and sequel monsters.

The advice: http://www.retrojunk.com/details_articles/2060/

Hope this helps.

These movies kick ass, there are too many damn film remakes lately.

If they remake these films, then I will lose all faith in Hollywood.

While I agree that there's too many remakes out there and some films must not be touched, the article is way too short and doesn't offer much more than brief summaries of 4 random films. Could've been much, much better.

The article isn't bad per say, but it's far too short, and not enough background info about the movies talked about. Background info is always good because out of all these movies I've only seen the Goonies and the descriptions given here STILL don't tell me what the others are about.

This would be better as a forum topic, I think.

What the hell is the problem with this "kirayamato" guy? Did you pay any god damn attention to the article you stupid idiot? These are films he thinks are GREAT and should not be remade because Great films should never be remade.

Eh, ignore that guy.

Anyway...I actually think that a remake of Labyrinth put in the right hands could be awesome. But the rest should be left alone for sure.

What he's talking about are good movies that shouldn't be remade or have sequels.

who made this stupid article is a retart. labyrinth, the breakfast club and the goonies were awsome films. i hope this moron can die and burn in hell.

I haven't heard anything about Labyrinth, but The Dark Crystal is going to have a sequel by Genndy Tartakovsky (creator of Dexter's Lab and Samurai Jack) so it could turn out pretty good.
