I used to think new games were incapable of recapturing the feeling of classic games.

However, I've since changed my mind, and did so because of Dragon Age. Not only was it a great and modern game, but it really felt like playing one of the old Baldur's Gate titles. It wasn't just a modern re-imagining, it really brought back memories of the others.
Given that, I definitely don't think old games should be left to rot.
To actually answer your question, I'm going to say Sim City, because it was more or less a one-of-a-kind. There haven't really been any other major, big budget city-planning games. Admittedly it was something of an unusual niche genre, but I really enjoyed it, back in the day. And I think it's something that could be modernized easily. Not only would it be easy to retain the same feel, as the base gameplay could be more or less the same, but really great things could be done with modern connectivity and processing power.
Anyway, I think twould be cool. /nod

If you could have any classic game remade for modern systems what would it be?

Except the two played differently, had different stories, and are published by different companies.

Kid Icarus could probably be very successful if redone well. *NM*

Anachronox. It came out in 2001, but was based on 1997 Quake 2 tech, so... quasi-classic. Ish.
