Line 47:
* ''Heaven Can Wait'' (1978) was a remake of the 1941 film ''Here Comes Mr. Jordan'', and itself was remade in 2001 as ''Down to Earth''. It has nothing to do with the 1943 film ''Heaven Can Wait'' (directed by [[Ernst Lubitsch]]).
* The 1954 and 1976 versions of ''[[A Star Is Born]]'', respectively with [[Judy Garland]] and [[Barbra Streisand]].
* In 1977, ''[[ItsIt's a Wonderful Life (Film)|Its a Wonderful Life]]'' was remade as the [[Made for TV Movie]] ''It Happened One Christmas'' with Marlo Thomas as a [[Gender Flip|Gender Flipped]] version of the [[Jimmy Stewart]] character.
* ''[[Doraemon]]'' does this for newer audiences and to keep the series alive - with [[Art Evolution]] (and, unfortunately, more censorship).
* Many people don't realize that the 1941 version ''[[The Maltese Falcon]]'' is actually a remake of a film made ten years prior.
Line 74:
* ''Welcome to Collinwood'', the 2002 remake of the Italian film ''I soliti ignoti'', with [[George Clooney]] reprising [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tot<!-- C3B2 Totò]]'s role. The same film was also remade earlier with Louis Malle's 'Crackers'' (1984). -->
* ''[[True Lies]]'', a remake of the French film ''La Totale!''.
* ''[[The Magnificent Seven]]'' is a remake of the Japanese film ''[[Seven Samurai]]'', which was then remade [[In Space]] as ''Battle Beyond the Stars'', remade ''and'' computer animated as ''[[A BugsBug's Life (Animation)|A Bugs Life]]'', then remade ''yet again'' as the anime ''Samurai Seven''.
* ''Shall We Dance'', the 2004 American remake of the 1996 Japanese movie. Neither is related to the 1937 movie musical of the same title.
* ''Quarantine'', a 2008 remake of the Spanish film ''<nowiki>~[REC]~</nowiki>'' (2007).
Line 84:
* ''[[The Wicker Man]]'' was remade in the States in 2006, with [[Nicolas Cage]] in a bear suit.
* ''[[Last Man Standing (Film)|Last Man Standing]]'' is another remake of ''[[Yojimbo]]''.
** And since it stars [[Bruce Willis (Creator)]] could probably be literally taken as [[Die Hard On an X|Die Hard]] [[X Meets Y|meets Yojimbo.]]
* ''[[Film/Pathfinder|Pathfinder]]'' is an American action remake of the Oscar-nominated Norwegian film ''Ofelas''.
* The 2010 film ''Let Me In'' is an American remake of the 2008 Swedish vampire film ''Let the Right One In''.
