enrollment in junior military academies are down?
another pump up movie to show that people in the military = honorable and just, while people who want to build golf courses = bad and just don't get it?
who knows? -

As far as I'm concerned, remakes are completely unnecessary (in Hollywood at least) and usually suck! Only such remakes like "Nosferatu" one for example are good and needed. But thats German cinema we are talking about. "Taps" is definitely the kind of movie that doesn't need a remake. You just can't make it any better.
Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe beep yourself. -

I hate the idea, but remakes have been the way of Hollywood since Hollywood was born. Some of our favorite classics are, indeed, remakes themselves.
I've already played my (completely imaginary) metaphysical veto card by wishing the Casablanca remake out of existence. So, I am powerless to stop any further remakes.Rancorr Blackmane, Freeblade.

Some remakes work. Many of the classic movies out there, such as Ben Hur and The Wizard of Oz, are remakes. I say: let TAPS get remade. Remember, TAPS launched the careers of Sean Penn and Tom Cruise (say what you will of him and his religion, you must agree that he is a great actor). Maybe the remake will show us some great new talent out there on par with Cruise, Penn, and Timothy Hutton.

I saw it at the movies when I was 11. It is one of the many movies from my childhood that should be left alone. First a remake of Red Dawn, what's next? A ripoff of Beverly Hills Cop probably, or even worse Police Academy.

No kidding. Three of the four main characters have won an Oscar for best actor or best supporting actor and the fourth is Tom Cruise (who has been nominated for 3 Oscars).
I don't have an opinion. The word "opinion" implies the possibility I'm wrong. -

"Why does it need a remake ?"
I agree. The truth is that this movie was, at best, just mediocre. I think the only interesting thing about it is that it was the springboard for two future Hollywood superstarsSean Penn and Tom Cruise. As far as inherent quality, there really isn't anything to write home about.
