    Robocop is a cult classic and does not need to be remade. I liked Red Dawn, but could care less if it gets remade. Murphy, on the other hand, needs to be left alone. I also heard rumors that Escape from New York was going to be remade. Any cult classic should be left alone, what's next John Carpenter's "The Thing."

    Vampire2000 you need to watch every Indiana Jones movie in order tomorrow and then recover for a week because you will be getting hit with so much greatness you will be in a weakened state.. and then when you are done recovering take the time to watch Robocop because holy hell Red Foreman killing people and crazy 80s robots its AMAZING

    Red Dawn is not non-fiction, its a "what if" story. Of course no-one can invade America physically, don't need to anyway - plenty of other ways to do it, but that's beside the point. The story is ok but the action in the movie is cheap - even for its time and the story could be meated out much more to turn it into a really cool epic alternate world war 3 movie.

    Red Dawn was a good movie widome. I know it seems cheesy now, but you never saw anything like it back then. I mean the only other form of russian invasion movies at the time were coming from Chuck Norris. Red Dawn doesn't need an update cause the idea of invasion in america right now is just ridiculous. I mean no country has the power to do it, except China, and maybe then you'd have a story, but what Hollywood studio would sanction a movie like that?

    Wow Red Dawn was not that good a movie - i can't believe so many of u more seasoned movie fans are defending it... a reamake would not hurt that movie. Its obvious that Robocop doesnt need a makeover but Red Dawn is starting to show wrinkles and cellulite!

    Quality. Good films that deserve a fresh face. It's like having a really nice old car that has a sh*tty paintjob...you're gonna eventually get it repainted to look it's best. That's what they are doing. Remakes are popular. They sell. If anything, it's nice because now the future generations will have a taste of Robocop that they didn't have before. He's a legend in his own way. I say kudos.
