Annie
A shinier, more calculated affair than the 1982 original, even if the bones are mostly the same. And while it's packed with winks for grownups, it's ultimately a kids' movie, designed for a generation of cyborgs who grew up perfecting their selfie game. The addition of cell phones, hashtags, and YouTube will no doubt be inherently horrifying to many adults; it's also a perfectly reasonable and target-audience-appropriate set of updates.
