A new series: Films that could never be remade

Edelweiss - Sound of Music - Christopher Plummer's own voice from Mark on Vimeo.

Yes, I'm starting this new thread on this blog--films that were so either perfect or just part of their time, they could never be remade. This is the first. Maybe not the best example, for whatever reason, but this is certainly one. It couldn't be redone partly because of the cast and partly, I think, for the time period in which it was made. It was a favorite of our Mom's. Whenever I now hear Christopher Plummer sing this, I can't help but get verklempt.
