The Last Starfighter comes to mind.
Pretty cutting edge for 1984, but today...
I'd add the Genesis planet simulation from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, but it has the distinction of being the very first fully textured CGI effect featured in the motion picture industry, seen by the general public.
It was done by The Graphics Group division of Lucasfilm.
Because of that, I'd say leave it alone for it's historical significance.
The Graphics Group broke away from LucasFilm to become Pixar when purchased by Steve Jobs in 1986.

None, CGI is still CRAP for the most part. Some is good but until fully perfected it should be avoided as much as possible. Colorization which I hate, despise and detest even more so also hasn't been fully perfected. It however should be avoided at ALL COSTS. Perfected or not.

Superman - I can't watch the Reeves ones anymore. The effects are too bad and the story isn't strong enough to compensate.
Jurassic Park - More Dinos and can tie in closer to the book.

I'd also maybe like to see a "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea." Would be a pleasure to see someone like Darren Aronofsky adapt Dante's "Divine Comedy" with today's technology. Or since the Divine Comedy is four volumes, maybe four 45 minute volumes by all different directors. Those not familiar, there is "Inferno", "Purgatory", "The Ascension", and "Paradise." I'd like to see (in no order) Soderberg, Aronofsky, The Coen Bros, and Kevin Smith (yup!) each helm a volume. Also, Jeff Bridges would make one hell of a 'Virgil.' Oh wait...I'm ramblin' again... |

I believe the models used in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan hold up by today's standards. |

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
David Fincher was actually set to remake/reimagine this (much closer to the book than the Kirk Douglas film) . But Disney pulled the plug due to budget concerns and some other BS . Would have been incredible. oh well.

The Guns of Navarone and The Dambusters. Both of these classics are let down by some third rate fx.
The eponymous guns look like toys when they are destroyed and the climactic raid on the dams looks like it was shot on a kitchen table.

Already happened - King Kong. The effects were great for 1933, but I thought Jackson's version was better, and the script was less stilted. Would I sit through 3 hours of it again? Probably not.

Krull or the Ray HarryHausen Sinbad movies. I should be wary of the latter since Clash of the Titans (2010) though.
