I'd add The Pianist and The Thin Red Line to those two.

Agreed mate. Now i wonder if we should have a 'Re-Make this film because it's a great idea but this version is terrible? lol.

Was going to say ghostbusters but that's too late so go with these

Everything Martin Scorsese has directed, including early films like Boxcar Bertha and Who's That Knocking at My Door.

I'm not so sure... a lot of his later stuff could easily be remade and would probably be better for it too.

Like what? Not The Aviator, The Departed, Shutter Island, Hugo, or Casino?

Yes. Plus Gangs of New York too.

The Departed itself is a remake, so that one has already been done by the man himself.

I don't think I'd want to see another remake of Infernal Affairs.

Also, I'd much rather see a film based on an original idea!

Indeed. Originality is always key (albeit difficult to pull off for varying reasons), but I certainly wouldn't be against any of the aforementioned Scorsese titles being remade someday. None are 'untouchable classics' in my opinion. Now After Hours and Taxi Driver are a different matter entirely!
