** ''MightyJoeYoung'' is also a friendlier remake of King Kong. Incidently, that movie was also remade in the 90's.



* The 1956 version of ''TheTenCommandments'' is also a remake of the 1923 silent movie of the same name. Cecil B. DeMille directed both.

to:

* Many people don't realize that the 1941 version ''TheMalteseFalcon'' is actually a remake of a film made ten years prior.
* The 1939 ''WizardOfOz'' was a remake of a version made in 1925, which also wasn't the first Oz film. There were '''two''' silent-era versions of Oz. The earliest one can be viewed [[http://www.archive.org/details/The_Wonderful_Wizard_of_Oz here]].
** In the 70's, we would have ''TheWiz'' and later, TheMuppets made their own version.
* The 1983 version of {{Scarface}} is also a little better known than the 1932 version. And that one is probably better known than the version made in 1928.




to:

* KingKong has a few in Asia, although YourMileageMayVary on whether they are direct remakes or rip-offs:
** ''King Kong vs. Godzilla'' is basically a remake of the original Kong for about 2/3 of the movie. The only difference is that he goes on to fight Godzilla and doesn't die in the end.
** There was a Japanese remake of ''King Kong'', which was the first {{Kaiju}} film. It was titled ''King Kong Appears in Edo''. Sadly, this movie is lost.
** ''The Mighty Peking Man'' from HongKong.
** There was a joint US/Korean production called ''A.P.E.'', which is famous for featuring the mom from GrowingPains and a giant monkey giving the [[FlippingTheBird finger to the military.]]
** While not Asian, there is a Greek remake of ''King Kong'' as well.

* An unusual triple threat: Leo [=McCarey=]'s ''Love Affair'' (1939), starring Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer, was remade (by Leo [=McCarey=]) as ''An Affair to Remember'' (1957) with Deborah Kerr and CaryGrant, which was remade ''again'' (by a different director) as ''Love Affair'' (1994) with Annette Bening and Warren Beatty. Ironically, ''AnAffairToRemember'' is regarded as the best of the three, which has led to a general assumption that ''An Affair to Remember'' [[OlderThanTheyThink was the original]]. The 1939 version was good, if all but forgotten today... but [[SoBadItsHorrible the only redeemable factor about the 1994 version was Katharine Hepburn as the Grandmother]].

* The novel ''Beau Geste'' was adapted to film in 1926, 1939 and 1966. In 1977 a parody titled ''The Last Remake of Beau Geste'' was made. The title became not entirely true, because BBC made a television version in 1982.
