If you could take any movie ever made and give it the big screen IMAX 3-D treatment, which would you pick? For bonus points, which movie should never get that treatment?

*Don’t know about the 3d, but I loved this movie when I was 10 (the greatest basset hound film of all time) and would’ve just died to have seen it IMAXed.
I shudder to think of the bathroom scene in “Trainspotting” in IMAX 3D…
I don’t know, are you talking about just taking an existing film and post-processing it with IMAX 3D, or are you talking about redoing an older film with modern CGI and tech to take full advantage of IMAX and 3D? I’m going to assume the former, because it offers a lot more fun:
