There are some movies that are all right for remaking, and then there are some that shouldn’t even be thought of as needing a reboot. Hopefully Hollywood will heed this list as a very strong suggestion not to touch these 10 films:

#10 “Apocalypse Now”: The 1979 film is one of the seminal films involving the Vietnam War. Not only does it show the harrowing side of war, but it also shows how the mindset of war can warp the mindset so totally that you aren’t the same anymore. It’s also the film that garnered the catchphrase “I love the smell of napalm in the morning!” If this is remade, there won’t be the craziness of Marlon Brando to bring the film’s point (and scary conclusion) home.
