What movies are good, but old enough that they need a modern remake to stay culturally relevant so that young people can connect to the themes?

My picks are:

Rear Window
A Christmas Carol

Rear Window has already been remade but it was quickly forgotten because it's shit, like any new remake will be. People have been copying Hitch non-stop since the 40's but he can't be matched.

dragon ball

Star wars 1-3

If a movie is good, it doesn't need a remake.

Clearly doesn't understand business lol

Any movie created can be remade. If you're not open to this idea, you don't understand evolving technology and cinema.

IMMORTALS 2

You're wrong. You can remake Cabinet of Caligari if you want to but you can never make the remake groundbreaking because the silent era has come and gone so fifty years after the remake people will still prefer the original because it contributed something unique while your remake accomplished nothing more than financial gain for the studio.

I'm against remaking really good or iconic movies for the most part. I think remakes should be left for basicly two types of movies:

1. Movies that rely almost completely on visuals and special effects which might be out dated now.
2. B-movies, obscure, or mediocre movies that had a good script or idea behind it, but the end product didn't work out either due to a low budget, bad acting/directing/etc, or poor marketing/distribution.

What I think is a much more interesting concept is a reimagining of the same movie rather than a flat out movie. If you're just going to do the same thing, there's really no need for it.
