screenhead.com has compiled a list of the top 10 sci-fi movies that should NEVER be remade:

Iconic sci-fi movies stay iconic only until they’re remade, and since the remakes are usually far inferior, the new movie going audience (which in many cases wasn’t born when the original movies were released), will only remember the remake. Which are, in most cases; mediocre movies that do the original more harm than good. Here are ten sci-fi movies that should never, under any circumstance, be remade. They’re called “classics” for a reason.

10: Minority Report

9: Close Encounters of The Third Kind

8: A Clockwork Orange

7: Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind

6: ET: The Extra Terrestrial

5: Gattaca

4: Dark City

3: Stalker

2: Blade Runner

1: 2001: A Space Odyssey

Interesting list, although I don’t like over half of them. Do you agree with this list? Why or why not? Which movies would make your top ten list?
