Eeek. Citizen Kane and Quentin Tarantino should not be uttered together. He’s not a good enough of a director to attempt that film.

“Slap that baby…make him pee!”
“Goblin King, Goblin King, take this baby far far from me!”

“Ello”
“Did you say hello”
“No, I said Ello, but that’s close enough.”

I could go on and on. I love that movie I even sought out Micheal Motion, to learn how to do the glass ball thing. He actually most of those scenes.

I agree that most of them can’t or shouldn’t be remade. I think the Labyrinth could be done, like you said. But not the others. What about “Streets of Fire”. I don’t think it could be redone. It would be modern pop… I just can’t see it.
