Another poster posed the idea to remake the original Stargate movie in order to bring it more inline with the TV series, and it really got my creative juices flowing. I'm not for remaking the movie, but perhaps doing a re-edit, similar to Children of the Gods.
TPTB could keep the existing footage of the original actors, so that part of the story would remain unchainged, but they could film new footage and inter-cut it with the existing footage creating new scenes. New footage could be added to the opening scene from the directors cut. Instead of starting on earth, it could start with an image of Earth from space as we see a Goa'uld mothership from the series enter orbit, and then show the pyramid section detach and descend toward the planet. From there it could proceed through the original village scene, and as the future RA host climbs up the hill, intercut a new scene where RA as a Unas appears at the top of the hill, and end the scene with his eye's starting to glow. This would help tie into the concept that the Unas were the original Goa'uld hosts, and it could be implied that RA was the first to choose a human as a host.
When they first activate the Stargate, a scene could be added that show's Carter working in the command room. They could have Amanda Tapping make a brief cameo, and then show her from behind looking out the windows as the pre-SG1 team starts to go through the gate. This would help to cement Carter into the original story, she was there, but in the background and she never has to meet Daniel or O'neil.
Not to mention they scene showing RA's death could be re-created to show the Goa'uld Parasite instead of the human-form RA.
Is something like this necessary? No, its not, but there are alot of Stargate Fans that talk about how the movie is inconsistent with the series and I think this would be an easy way to make a better connection between the two without completely re-filming the original movie. I bet that it would sell pretty well too.
