Movies that should have a modern day sequel.

Playing off of the Tom Cruise thread, one of my kids was watching Fast Times At Ridgemont High this morning. The kid had never seen it, and was confused as to why it was on AMC.
That would be a helluva sequel, though. Who wouldn't love to see what Spicoli is up to these days?
As an FYI, I was curious as to why Phoebe Cates had dropped off the face of the Earth, and I did not know that she had married Kevin Kline in the 90s, and pretty much retired from acting to be a full time mom.
How about the Breakfast Club?

Coyote Ugly only now they’re all burnt out strippers.

 

[Hawk and Awe]

Goodwill Hunting

Apparently there was a whole act where Will goes into the CIA as a code breaker that they scrapped

That movie would be a bad idea, but I would absolutely love it. Plenty of other career follow ups… hedge fund manager? Developer of some sort of AI? Poker player going through law school? So many opportunities

Around the world in 80 days.

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

Ferris has a boring office job with a dickhead boss. Whole day planned to ditch work with his buddy and now wife. Script writes itself.

Please. That is just a movie that shows boobies.

Audie Murphy biography would be an excellent multipart series for Netflix

What if they reveal jason Bourne was actually will hunting?

Sounds good to imagine an expanded version of his film To Hell and Back.

If you haven't seen the movie, check out Matt Damon in Rounders.

/obligatory Titanic mention

Still amazes me how so many folks were shocked the ship sank in the film.

I knew someone would think that was an accident.

In hindsight - I should have just listed out secret agent that lost his memory, astronaut, thief, zoo owner, rugby player…

Sadly, the same can be said of a lot of movies based on history.

Minority Report


Oh, wait. China's got this locked up.

China is using AI to predict who will commit crime next

You saw it in 'Minority Report,' but this is real now.

mashable.com

China is looking into predictive analytics to help authorities stop suspects before a crime is committed.

According to a report from the Financial Times, authorities are tapping on facial recognition tech, and combining that with predictive intelligence to notify police of potential criminals, based on their behaviour patterns.

Guangzhou-headquartered Cloud Walk has been trialing its facial recognition system that tracks a person's movements. Based on where someone goes, and when, it hands them a rating of how at risk they are of committing a crime.

I believe it was a budget disaster but I still can't believe they haven't remade He-Man. I know he's not really a superhero but with everything else being remade these days, I still can't believe they haven't done anything with it.

Yeah, it was a disaster - I think it actually led to the studio declaring bankruptcy, but I’ve always had a soft spot for it. It’s developed a cult following over the years for sure I believe.

would kill to see a Zelda movie.

Debbie Does Dallas: The Granddaughter Years

Or should it be stepdaughter?

Poker really took off in popularity after thar movie. Would be interesting to see how those people turned out during the poker boom.

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. Loses his idealism after 30 years as a Senator, only to gain it back again when he realizes what he has become.

Not so much a sequel, but I'd like to see a remake with current technology for The Last Starfighter.

 

[DooBii]

Gone in 60 Seconds could make a cool sequel.

I could easily see something similar to what they did with Tron Legacy, which is underrated imo.
