It's 2008 now. That means the last decade of the 1980s is nearly 20 years ago. In addition to acid-washed jeans (and jean jackets), expect it all to come back. Dr. Ernie is (mostly) at peace with this reality. The onslaught has been underway at the movies for a little while now, with no signs of stopping.
Only the patina of time can make things cool again (or cool once), and now well into the 21st century one can to stock up on checkered Vans thanks to the Internet. Or find every 80s movie on DVD, right in time for the Format Wars to rage again.
The remakes are inevitable. Sometimes, they're even warranted. It's time to stop feeling old and join Dr. Ernie in listing those films that will appear again before us and make us think long and hard about what we've been doing here...
After realizing the 80s are...20 years ago these days, Dr. Ernie has begun thinking of films that probably will, should, or could be remade with warrant. Any actual remakes of these films will be noted (either done or underway, announced, etc). Of course, Dr. Ernie cannot be blamed for prescience, nor accused of any other science.
