MegaSack DRAW - 6pm Christmas Eve - LIVE on our YouTube Channel
Loddrik's things question had me thinking.
What films have been made more than twice?
The Thing is a good example.
I am Legend is another. (Last man on earth and then The Omega man)
Any others? I guess if a story is good enough, it will be remade a number of times.
Hit me with the rest.

godfather ii
godfather iii
❓
The 39 Steps, 3 film and 2 TV versions that I can think of.
Good book as well. 🙂
Ned Kelly
Casino royale
Frankenstein
Yojimbo
King Kong
El Mariachi (kinda - each sequel was a semi-remake, according to Rodriguez).
Most obviously, Let the Right One In (Swedish version, English remake, godawful US remake to come)
Bet there's a few Sherlock Holmes stories that have been filmed a few times - must have seen four or five versions of the Hound of the Baskervilles.
Must be a few film versions of Wuthering Heights (I know a new one has just come out) and some Dickens stuff must have been filmed several times - A Christmas Carol seems to get remade every couple of years:

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
Hasn't been remade ever.. but there are about 4 movies, all of completely different plots witht he same name.
I find it interesting.
Robin Hood
the Taking of Pelham 123 has been made one, two, three times. The middle one was a tv movie though.
7 Samuri
Magnificent 7
Battle Beyond The Stars
Harry you forgot...
A Bug's Life.
🙂
It looks like A Star is Born is going to be made for the fourth time (in English) staring Beyonce.
I think 1984 has been remade more than twice, but I'll have to check. The last version I saw had John Hurt in, but I remember seeing a black and white version a few years ago.
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.
nosferatu?emmanuelle?
"The Thing" soon, saw the trailer for the latest remake
Appropriately for the OP, Yojimbo, A Fistful of Dollars and Last Man Standing.

Most John Carpenter films.
Films of classic books/plays etc must surely be discounted, since they are not remakes as such, are they? Just new interpretations.
King Kong is a good one.
Another obvious one though - War of the Worlds.
Batman
Planet of the Apes is doing the rounds again
Planet of the Apes is doing the rounds again
It's a prequel though.
The Count of Monte Cristo - strictly speaking these aren't remakes of a film, just different films of a book.
Probably lots of superhero ones- Spiderman spings to mind 😉
Does Titanic count? I've seen countless versions of it.

Don't spoil the ending for those that haven't seen it.
Nothing to spoil, I've even see the sequel, Titanic 2.
North by Northwest was a remake of 39 Steps

Robin Hood.
Watched the recoloured Errol Flynn version at the weekend. He's a sprightly little sod for someone who spends the entire film shoving food down his throat.
Good call on the Hulk films; the funny thing is each one seems to completely ignore the existence of the previous ones, which I guess is a prerequisite for remakes.
Robin Hood: does Robin Hood men in tights count?
but have there been any films made three times and well?
a few have been done twice and are pretty good.solaris comes to mind.
some shaksp.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers, apparently made 4 times, although the last one had Nicole Kidman. Perhaps there's 3 good ones there though?
must be at least 3 good oliver twists.
was the nicole kidman version any good?missed it.
Good call on the Hulk films; the funny thing is each one seems to completely ignore the existence of the previous ones, which I guess is a prerequisite for remakes.
I take it you're ignoring the fact that the The Incredible Hulk was a follow up to the The Hulk and it also features Lou Ferrigino in a cameo role. Pretty sure there was no original film either just the TV series.
