Sgt york

Why would you want a remake? It is a great movie as it is, no remake needed.

About the only thing that could be improved in a remake would be special effects. Sure, there are some technical details that could be improved on like having him use a 1911 instead of a Luger (the prop guys couldn't get the 1911 to cycle blanks), but other than better special effects it would be tough to beat the original film- the one SGT York was an adviser for.

And what actor could possibly replace Gary Cooper?

Intead of doing a Sgt York remake. They should make a movie about this:

Phantom Warrior: The Heroic True Story of Private John McKinney's One-Man Stand Against theJapanese in World War II

This is the story of John McKinney who received the Medal of Honor for his actions against a Japanese surprise attack. On May 11, 1945, McKinney returned fire on the Japanese attacking his unit, using every available weapon-even his fists-standing alone against wave after wave of dedicated Japanese soldiers. At the end, John McKinney was alive-with over forty Japanese bodies before him.

The M1 is praised in this book. A very good read.

If somebody wanted to do a movie about a MOH recipient, York and Audie Murphy should be out of the running. What they should do is make a movie covering several recipients of the medal. I enjoy reading the citations of those who earned it and would love to see a film that could illustrate just how extraordinary their actions were.
