Name a classic movie which you want to be remade for the current times

One of my favorite movies; Offices Space :) This is a 1999 movie about an IT guy who hates his job. It is a an awesome concept, just feels dated now. Would love to watch a remake of this movie according to the current times.

One of my favorite scenes ;) Not sure if 1 million dollars is worth the same anymore though.

Top Gun - Not sure who they can cast who looks as good as Tom Cruise..

What's considered is relative... imo the film industry has come so far in the last couple years, anything made more than 2-3 decades ago could use an update.

I'd like to see a remake of hairspray or singin in the rain, though maybe part of the charm is the fact that they have the 50s/80s looks to them.
