Which movies deserve to be rereleased in theaters?

[Dark Jezter]

With the theatrical rerelease of Alien: The Director's Cut just around the bend, I thought I'd ask people which classic movies they'd like to see rereleased in theaters, possibly with added scenes and remastered video and audio.

Here's my list...

Conan the Barbarian: With King Conan: Crown of Iron moving into production (although without Arnold), a theatrical rerelease of the original Conan (along with the added scenes and improved video quality of the Collector's Edition DVD) could revive interest in the Conan franchise.

Aliens: With Alien coming back in theaters, it would only be logical for the sequel (which many, including myself, like even better than the original) to be released back into theaters. Aliens also has several cool deleted scenes.

Raiders of the Lost Ark: Indiana Jones is out on DVD now, but it would still be awesome to see Raiders in theaters, considering that it's one of the greatest action/adventure films of all time.

A Nightmare on Elm Street: Still one of the greatest horror movies of all time. It's aged much better than most slasher fics.

Well, I gave up on re-releases back in the year 2001...when by all rights they should have been showing 2001: A Space Odyssey in theaters again. But noooooooooooo....

Director's Cut of the Abyss. I saw it in a limited release form on the big screen and it's great. It's one of the few movies that needed to be on the big screen.

 

[Wormwood]

I'd love to experience JAWS on the big screen.

I can't wait to see Sheriff Brody shooting the CGI shark with his walkie talkie.

 

[Wombat]

I'll go just for seeing Nightmare Before Christmas one more time on the big screen

...or The Lion in Winter one more time...

They did here. Granted, only for a month and I was so broke I couldn't
see it but they did. So stop yer bellyachin'! You never had the chance.
I had the chance but couldn't *SOB*.

I'd *love* to see Conan the Barbarian on the big screen someday and
the Star Wars movies. I never got a chance to see the SE rerelease.

Cool Hand Luke - Just me being selfish because it's my favorite movie and I'd love to see it up on the Movie screen.

Conan would be cool. A lot of movies I have fond memories of don't stack up on later viewings, but I still enjoy Conan.

Wormwood - that is hysterical. Who knows maybe they'll feel that killing the shark is wrong.

After seeing David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia on the big screen many years ago, I'd really like to see Bridge on the River Kwai given a restored print and rereleased. If for nothing else, just for that ending scene.

How about the original Superman? Maybe clean up the FX ala Star Wars SE, beef up the soundtrack too.
