Okay, first off, as far as I know, these are NOT currently being considered for remakes, continuations or updates. But with the recent returns to old franchises like "Rambo", "Rocky" and "Indiana Jones" (plus several more I'm forgetting; like the long-running Mad Max 4 rumors, or 2003's "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", or 2001's "Planet of the Apes"), I wouldn't be surprised if these suckers popped up. Each would make a good return at the box office and already have a built-in cult following. Why not?!

Sure, I'm bullshitting on these...but am I really half-serious?!

Goonies (1985)
Goonies never quit! So why not an updated flick of those lovable dorks on a new Goonie adventure? Corey Feldman ain't doing anything. I'm sure that Kid Who Played Short Round is in need of a payday. If Sloth or Chunk hold out for more cash, there's always CGI. A grown-up Goonies sequel would turn out like "Wild Hogs", whereas a re-casted Goonies reboot would be like 1994's "Little Rascals" movie. Scary part: both of those turds made money.

As a bonus, it'd be easy to secure Cyndi Lauper, Roddy Piper, Iron Sheik, Nikolai Volkoff and Capt. Lou Albano to do another music video. (too bad about Freddy Blassie, though)

Logan's Run (1976)
Considered groundbreaking when it came out in 1976....but rendered moot one year later when Star Wars hit. With modern special effects, this thing could really kick tushy. Has a fun message, dealing with society's fascination with youth. Sure, some of the psychedelic images wouldn't be as contemporary, but an updated electric orgy scene would make the fanboys trousers all crusty.

Big Trouble in Little China (1986)
Kurt Russell returned to one dated character once (1996 and Snake Plissken), so why not his campy, over-the-top Jack Burton? Son of a bitch must pay! Plus, the generation who grew up idolizing Mortal Kombat will mark out to the Chinese demigods.

Smokey and the Bandit (1977)
I believe there HAVE been rumors of this remake. They tried in the mid-90's with the crappy "Bandit/Action Pack" TV show...but egads was that wretched. There's a huge gearhead subculture who also like to drink beer and worship TransAms. Problem is, there aren't many movie theaters (or electrical outlets) south of the Mason-Dixon Line. Plus, the concept of bootlegging beer is defintiely dated, as Coors is now available nationwide. It might be better to go with...

Cannonball Run (1981)
It was already a remake when it premiered (of the 1970's "Gumball Rally"), but it spawned a sequel and endless re-airings on cable. Idiots and hot chicks in cars. Captain Chaos can return. It's an also absolute necessity to bring back Mel Tillis and Terry Bradshaw in some regard.

CHUD (1984)
Sort of campy when it came out...but I suspect that someone like Eli Roth IS making an update on this stinker. Zombies that live in the sewers of the city. How this has not been remade (or even ripped off) is somewhat of a mystery.

Conan the Barbarian (1982)
Arnold's already returned to do the Terminator...so why not his other iconic movie dunderhead? Barbarians have slowly risen in popularity since they were airbrushed on the sides of vans in the 70's. With the huge success of the Lord of the Rings franchise, this would do sick business. You could even re-use the original soundtrack from the 1982 version, it's that good. Like Indiana Jones, Conan could have aged along with us (26 years since the original flick) and we can finally seen how he gained his throne...for that, is another story! As soon as Arnie gets out of office, get working on this sucker!!

Condorman (1981)
Say what? A crappy Disney-esque flick about a cartoonist who becomes the superhero he draws? It would make everyone roll their eyes, but this seems like the perfect vehicle for Steve Carrell, Will Ferrell or even Jack Black. Add in the fact that comic book movies do reasonably well at the box office and there's suddenly apprehension that some studio execs have had lunch over this turd.

Honorable mentions:
-I was going to list "Crocodile Dundee"... but wasn't there an update, circa 1999?

-With the way Sylvester Stallone seemed to enjoy his returns to "Rambo" and "Rocky", how soon can we expect "Cobra"?

-Depending on how excited Steven Spielberg was over his return to Indy...can we expect "Jaws 5"? Scrooge would love it.

-"The Car". A quirky late 70's movie about a killer....car. Would make a perfect horror movie. I could see Rob Zombie picking this one up.

-"The Princess Bride". Mostly due to its popularity. Particularly among women. I wouldn't be shocked if some director reworked this, just so he could get laid often.

They could never do the Princess Bride justice.

And there are a surprising amount of movie theaters down South. They're just not Megaplexes.

Big Trouble is a masterpiece and Kurt Russell + John Carpenter = GOLD ALWAYS (I'm still completely ignoring Escape from L.A.).

Actually, I confused myself. I wouldn't call for a remake of "Big Trouble", just a return to that character. So ignore all the crap about the Mortal Kombat stuff.

Like: "Jack Burton in: The Legend of Sasquatch" or some shit like that. More of a sequel or continuation. But "Condorman" and "CHUD" would definitely be remakes. You could go either way on "Goonies" and the Burt Reynolds Car Crap.

The more I think about (and being a geek, I think about these things a lot), a "Conan" sequel/continuation sounds like a fun idea.

There was a rumored Conan sequel years ago, and HHH was trying to get in it.

I think an updated Dick Tracey would be good.

I'm pretty sure there actually is a Logan's Run remake in the work's. If done well, it should be pretty fantastic.

I remember buying the original when it was on the discount shelf at Best Buy a few years ago and I was blown away by how good it was special effects-wise for a 1970's film, but as E mentioned, Star Wars did a lot to hurt this one's legacy due to being so freaking awesome. Logan's Run also had stuff like the orgy room and some tasty nudity to keep it from becoming a family viewing film the way Star Wars did.
