Possibly off topic, but one thing I'd like to see is people upgrading the bad special effects of old movies.
"Flash Gordon" has an incredible score from Queen, hilarious dialog, and cheesy effects.
"The White Buffalo" is a great Western about Wild Bill Hickock and Crazy Horse. The actual monster looks like it was made out of cardboard
Yeah but all that really does is piss off the purists. Like, it has been tried with Star Wars and to this day, people still bitch about the change in some effects.
Happy New Year.
Here's a random suggestion. The movie 'Sorcerer' died at the box office because it came out the same weekend as 'Star Wars.' Pity, because it's a great suspense movie with plenty of action and a million twists.
Here's a sample.

You are a fucking hero.
One of my favorite movies is The Mosquito Coast because the location takes me to a familiar place. The Rundown has a similar effect for the same reason but not many movies really capture the immersion of a jungle that well.
The scene you linked convinced me I need to watch this in the dark on a big screen with the sounds of the trees and rain enveloping me. The bonus is that I can find it on Blu-ray cheap as hell on Amazon right now.
This will be my first movie of 2026. Thank you so much!
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Happy New Year.
I believe Corridor Crew does that every now and then, don’t they?
Never heard of them. I'll look it up. Thank you
edit = so, they do bits and pieces, but not the full movies.
Thanks again
Ah, yeah, entire full movies would be a bit harder, as that would cost a lot of time and money.
Given how many people are unemployed in the vfx industry there is enough people to do it, but they would get a cease and desist from the film companies. Not only would they have a hard time showing off their effort, they can potentially get themselves in trouble or black listed from working in the industry.
Maybe things that are public domain.
It's one of my 'winning the lottery' dreams.
Happy New Year
