There *is* a movie I think is just *begging* to be remade. That movie is The Wizard of Oz. I would like to see someone try it as straight gothic fantasy. Who's name always comes to mind when you use the words "Gothic Fantasy"?

Why Burton of course.

I read somewhere that a film based on Todd McFarlane's warped Wizard of Oz range of figures is in the pipeline.

Tin Man was nice.

And there was a movie sequel made a couple of decades ago that was panned for being too dark (Dorothy starts off in a Sanitarium, etc).

Near Dark
is one I'd like to see sequelled (or re-done -- anything to get rid of the stupid, happy ending).

Lost Boys
has a preview up, so that might be something...

I think MirrorMask comes pretty close to a retelling of the Wiz as anything. If you haven't seen it, you really should give it a look.

Spaceballs 2 : The Search for More Money
Beetlejuice
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

I like both of those ideas Syl, Beetlejuice is one of my personal favorites, and one of the first movies in my collection to be upgraded from VHS to DVD.

Hmm, I read that. Or at least, I started it. I don't recall actually finishing. Didn't realise it was a film too.

I think I've seen Return to Oz more times than I've seen the first one, heh. Strange film.

Never Watched Return to Oz, was always afraid it would be disappointing, like the Neverending Story II, not nearly as good as the first,

Nope, don't mess with Near Dark.

I'd love to see a sequel to Tapeheads, but I doubt either John Cusack or Tim Robbins would go anywhere near it.

And, of course, Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime League.

Unfortunately, in the spirit of Hollywood not being able to leave a good thing alone, I've heard they are actually remaking it.

YES!!!
totally agree... but with so much time passed, couldthey get everyone back?.. Hmmmm it would certainly be a different movie with all of them old ... but I would not want to see a different cast...

And I would love a good sequel to 5th Element...!

You are officially my Movie Overlord, C-Man! Throw Repo Man in, and it's a full-on TV Party! (I didn't think anyone else had seen Tapeheads! Little-known note: The Metal band featured in the movie were actually The Lords of the New Church, one of my favorite post-punk groups!)

Tapeheads is quite possibly my favorite '80s comedy. No one's seen it, but it's hysterical. My college roommate and I used to do the sobriety test all the time.

Good times.

I bought the DVD for $1.99, would have paid 50 times that.

Any bonus features? It occurs to me that my daughter hasn't yet been exposed to the wonder and glory of the Tapeheads. Or Buckaroo Banzai.

I'm a neglectful parent.

All this talk of Tapeheads has made me want to watch it (and no doubt be disappointed by it, heh). Unfortunately, a quick glance at Amazon UK reveals that it costs £16 plus postage, minimum (about $32 US). Bah.

There's nothing on the Tapeheads disc other than a bonus CD of "Ordinary Man" by the Swanky Modes. Cusack's all but disowned the film. It's a shame that Mike Nesmith didn't do a commentary.

The Buckaroo Banzai disc is fantastic, and reincorporates the original beginning with Jamie Lee Curtis as Buckaroo's mother.

Cusack didn't like 'Heads? I always thought he and Robbins had a ball on that film. Ah, well...

We can still hope for a Buckaroo sequel. (I may have to go get a pic of Perfect Tommy for my avatar.)
