'80s Remake Overload

While perusing through a list of '80s cult classics that should be remade (?!), we came across one bonafide exception: Wisdom, the 1986 flick written, directed and starring Emilio Estevez, about a couple of bank robbers--Demi Moore is Bonnie to Estevez's Clyde--who destroy all mortgage-related records in a bid to become modern day Robin Hoods. Yes, it's sorta ludicrous, but timely. (Truth be told we haven't seen it since it came out on cable, shortly after it opened.) And better Wisdom than Rappin' or Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo. Right?
