Klaus Vedfelt / Getty Images When Reddit user Aaaaaaarrrrrggggghh asked, " Which movie should NEVER get a remake? " many people chimed in with their thoughts. Here are the fan-favorite films no one ever wants to see changed: 1. Titanic
"I don't want to see a CGI iceberg ruining the iconic handprint scene."

"The original film still holds up, and aside from more accuracies in the dinos, there's not much to be gained."

" Jurassic Park was groundbreaking and still holds up today. Leave those dinosaurs alone."

© 20th Century Fox Film Corp. / Courtesy Everett Collection Powered By 23. Labyrinth "That movie was the cause of my sexual awakening. I was the only 8-year-old who put down David Bowie for 'Who's your celebrity crush.' I cried when that man died.
It's also just an amazing movie. Jim Henson has a magical power to make you legitimately forget you are watching puppets.
It can't be redone. Nobody could replace Bowie as Jareth. Anybody else would make it just upsetting and weird instead of magically weird. No man should be able to be that pretty, with better makeup than me yet still be a HUNK. Many had tried."
