I'd like to see a remake. But...I know they will just mess it up and it will be bad.

they could get that kid who was the drummer in That Thing You Do to play Alex. They look pretty similar:

I never liked the original much. Thought it was pretty boring and the whole 'final scene' with him pushing the button to make the ship spin around and shoot all the bad seemed so anti-climatic.
My $.02 and it looks like I'm in the minority.

They should remake Critters. That was cheesy but fun (or maybe I just didn't have as high of expectations of that movie). I don't know anything beyond the first one though. I'm sure they went downhill fast though.

No, not in minority. I also did not like the original, was extremely boring. I probably haven't seen this movie in 25 years and I have no plan to do so either.

Before I forget.......Victory or Death!

Now this is one remake that could be good, especially if the original director is gonna do it again. I used to love this movie and then bought it when it came out on dvd and it was just aweful to get through. The special effects look terrible now and didn't hold up at all.

Alex Rogan: Wait a minute. When did the hangar go up?
Grig: I told you! When Zur attacked!
Alex Rogan: And were the Starfighters?
Grig: In the hangar!
Alex Rogan: You mean they're *dead*?
Grig: [scoffs] Death is a primitive concept. I prefer to think of them as battling evil, in another dimension.
Alex Rogan: In another dimension? How many are left?
Grig: Including yourself?
Alex Rogan: Yeah!
Grig: One!

What a fun movie. In 1984 we thought the effects were great. The storyline is fun, the characters are great, I just don't see how they could remake this movie into a better movie.

Louis Rogan: [trying to sleep, angry] What's up, Alex?
Alex Rogan: [walking out] Back to sleep, Louis, or I'm telling Mom about your Playboys!

Classic.
