Which classic should be remade?

I am still hoping for a perfectly cast Great Gatsby before I die. The lavish 1974 version had , imho, two perfectly cast parts, Tom Buchanan, and Myrtle Wilson. Bruce dern always gives off that wife beater bully vibe, coupled with a weakness that rounds him out. Karen Black as a plush woman after a chance to better herself was excellant. Maybe Jordan baker, Lois Chiles was lovely and her inexperience did not slow things down. Howard Da Silva was a great fit as Meyer Wolfsheim. The complete failure of Mia Farrow to communicate whatever she thought Daisy was about, and Redford’s inability to convince us he was an outsider just wrecked the film. And Sam Waterson was much too knowing to be Nick, whose naïveté is his centerpiece.


I am also waiting for a perfect Tender Is The Night. Sadly, Redford would have been a great Dick Diver, a golden boy with a serious profession who goes to pieces. Jason Robards was born a smart Alec and it sticks out all over. He is too sardonic to be the charming Dick Diver.
