No matter how fast time flies, some things will always awake the same feelings in us. That is the case with some movies, also.

Many of them could never become cliche to us. They are simply timeless.

Despite being filmed many years ago, we still love to watch them, and they can never bore us. As if they had bewitched us.

But actually, the producers created a great story, and the actors did their job perfectly, so that mix had made the best films of all time. Those fantastic movies follow the future and fit right in every decade like they are universal.

And for many more years to come, they will remain the best of the best ones. But, can you imagine a famous movie with different actors?

Weird right? And also impossible to do.

It would be like a betrayal of the original actors, and no one would have played a role better than them anyway. But let's try something else: Can you visualize a very famous film played with the same actors today, but of course in their current ages?

What would that movie look like? And will it still be one of your favorite famous movies, or it would change your perspective?
