Just because something made a bazillion dollars in the Eighties does not mean it's going to do it again. Romancing the Stone was awesome when it came out. It is still one of my favorite fun movies. But it's Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner that made it awesome more then the story itself.
Besides, anytime they've said "remake" so far, it's actually meant "a sucky reimagining of the original which may or may not use more then just the title".
There are a dozen books I can think of off the top of my head that would make amazing movies. GOOD movies. And that's just me! Srsly Hollywood - BACK THE HELL OFF MY OLD MOVIES!
