Wish list Movies that could be remade with other actors
Note:- This is not a final list and will undergo changes. I also invite suggestions. Usually when I like a movie, I imagine how it would have turned out if a character was played by another actor. So this is my wish list to see the same movie with another actor playing a character I loved.
