The Lowdown: Originally adapted from Masamune Shirow, Ghost follows a futuristic hunt for a brain-hacking criminal known as the Puppet Master. Cyborg tech blends with the ghostly impressions of human minds and allows for some amazing action.

It was among the first anime to really achieve crossover with Western audiences.

Re-make over? It's a complicated tale that would have to be diluted some for a live-action movie - and while not everything could be crammed into one film, we'd offer it to Wachowski brothers, who could do with a chance to redeem themselves after Speed Racer.

Their tech/spirituality obsessed focus could allow for a more faithful translation. Oh, and Zoe Saldana should get the lead.
