YIKES ! that was a huge part of the charm and atmosphere of the classics you mentioned !

I think Rosemary's Baby, Whatever Happened To Baby Jane, The Nanny and many more could be AWESOME if redone by today's standards
both Rosemary's Baby and Whatever Happened to Baby Jane were character studies .. i cant see how the benefit of todays standards could improve on either of those films .. they weren't about effects .. they were about tension, suspense, and relationships. Those were fine as they were

maybe ..... but it would be a completely different movie ..
Like old godzilla vs new godzilla .. the cornball looks and makeup were the reasons that that monster is one of the most recognizable and beloved horror icons of all times ..


the films that should be remade are the ones that deviated from the origional source ( War of the Worlds) or films that can actually be helped by a bigger budget and special effects.

but again .. keep in mind that it will become a different film and lose the atmosphere that made the origionals so popular...

in the case of The Thing - it succeeded .. but that was a rare exception.
