The Name's The Thing! Movies That Should Be Remade by Name-Appropriate Directors

Fans of surnames were delighted this year when The Amazing Spider-Man was directed by someone named Marc Webb (get it??) and The Odd Life of Timothy Green, about a boy who grows out of a plant, was directed by Peter Hedges (also get it??). We think this should be a trend, and so we imagined movies from the past being remade by name-appropriate filmmakers.
