If it’s Saturday, it must be time to link to my latest MSN Movies gallery. (You guys dont think I’m falling into a rut here, do you?)

This week, in the wake of the new “Karate Kid” and “A-Team” movies, we consider a few other ’80s properties that are ripe for remaking, and suggest some casting ideas. This is not to be taken seriously, of course; I’m really just throwing these ideas out in the hopes that any producer types who see them will realize just how pointless a new version of “Top Gun” would be.

Although I will say that reuniting the cast of “Weekend at Bernie’s” a few decades later could be perversely interesting, like those wheezy comedies Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau cranked out in their golden years. Silverman and McCarthy, together again ..
