> [@GuanoLad](#): > > Secondly **Ladyhawke**. I love this movie as is, except for the synth music, and don’t really want it touched. But I could see a complete remake as a limited TV series, allowing the story to explore the origins of the curse, and expand on each of the sequences so we get to know all the characters properly, including the villains. I love this idea! LadyHawke was one of my favorite movies of all time as a kid. I rewatched it recently and it still held up, but yeah, that music was really bad and completely inappropriate for the medieval film setting. ---

**The Final Countdown** movie I still love but I’ve always wanted to see the ending they promised but we never got where the modern US fleet actually attacks the Japanese Pearl Harbor raiding force and completely destroys it ---

Adrian Paul’s looks as a eternally youthful immortal had held up sufficiently, but Peter Wingfield’s most certainly didn’t. ---

> [@Asuka](#): > > **The Final Countdown** movie I still love but I’ve always wanted to see the ending they promised but we never got where the modern US fleet actually attacks the Japanese Pearl Harbor raiding force and completely destroys it That would have blown its budget 10 times over. Some other fictional works have worked with that tho, and often it has an Unintended Consequences outcome; in one Jimmy Doolittle has his B-25’s aggressively dive on the Japanese fleet and release their bombs at very low altitudes, but because Pearl Harbor wasn’t never damaged the Americans never got sufficiently pissed off and somehow lose the war. Nevermind that Kido Butai would then be in total shambles and the Japanese Imperial Navy no longer a threat. ---

All the _Friday the 13th_ movies which don’t star Kane Hodder (except the original) should be remade so that he plays Jason. If I can only pick one, it would be _Freddy vs. Jason_. _Friday the 13th VII_ should have one small change. Dr. Crews, the character played by Terry Kiser, should have a mustache so that he looks more like Bernie from _Weekend at Bernie’s_.
