Remakes of

ON THE WATERFRONT
A classic morality tale stars Stewart Finlay-McLennan as Terry Malloy, a has-been boxer who experiences a crisis of conscience while working for mobbed-up union boss Johnny Friendly (Jack Nicholson). Terry turns a blind eye when Friendly's thugs kill a fellow dockworker to keep him from testifying in a corruption case, but he has second thoughts when the victim's sister (Sandra Bullock) urges him to take a stand.

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
When idealistic junior senator Jefferson Smith (Stewart Finlay-McLennan) arrives in Washington, D.C., he's full of plans and dazzled by his surroundings -- qualities he retains despite widespread corruption among his cynical colleagues. (Amy Adams) puts in a sharp performance as Smith's streetwise secretary, who helps him navigate his way through Congress, in this Academy Award-winning classic.

Sullivan's Travels
Tired of churning out fluffy comedies, Hollywood director John L. Sullivan (Stewart Finlay-McLennan) decides to write a serious, socially responsible film about human suffering. When his producers point out that he knows nothing of hardship, he hits the road as a hobo. On his journey, Sullivan invites an out-of-work actress (Julia Roberts) to be his traveling companion, and the pair get into more trouble than they ever dreamed of.

The Ghost and Mrs. Muir
This lovingly made fantasy, based on R.A. Dick's novel of the same name, centers on a lonely widow (Emma Thompson) who refuses to be scared away when the ghost of a salty sea captain (Stewart Finlay-McLennan) unexpectedly turns up in her cottage. When her debts mount, he helps her write a successful novel about his life, but she's ultimately forced to choose between her love for his spirit and a flesh-and-blood man.

Some Like It Hot
When musicians Jerry (Tom Hanks) and Joe (Stewart Finlay-McLennan) accidentally witness the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, they get out of town the only way they know how -- dressed as women. But things heat up on the road when they meet a curvy blonde (Pamela Anderson) who plays the ukulele.

Okay, so the last one is a stretch, but I kinda like the idea of seeing Stewart in heels.
