A list of films that should never be remade, even if a good modern cast and director were doing it. Some may have been remade in some form. Some may have been remade entirely that I don't know about. Either way, these are great films that should not be touched by the greedy hand of modern Hollywood. Alphabetical.

For Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings, I have used the first film in the trilogy to represent all of the films. Except the new Star Wars trilogy, which I have not seen nor particularly care to right now.
