Which other 80s movies can they ruin with terrible remakes?

You, sir, spin an excellent horror story.

However, Lady Gaga as Goblin Queen could be amusing to watch.

Kung-Fu movies are like porn. 1-on-1 first, then 2-on-1, and then a group scene...

Thank you good sir!

And you're right, out of all of those, Lady Gaga in the David Bowie role would be the best fit if it actually happened. If they did it right, Labyrinth might be the only one I wouldn't mind getting rebooted, with how far effects have come...but I think it would be very easy to go overboard with CGI and ruin that Jim Hensonesque atmosphere. They'd need to hire a director with restraint.
