Around a gazillion new movies are released every year, but when you watch them, do you sometimes catch yourself thinking “Hmm, have I seen this one before?” And you might have! Well, almost. Today we’re looking at the most iconic movies that have hit the cinemas more than once. From animation to 3D, from old-school to amazing CGI, it’s your turn to decide if the movie industry should leave the classics in the archives or make bigger and better revamps of the movies we love.

The scene where Mrs. Jumbo is in jail and she still cradles Dumbo and she's crying and he's crying and I'm crying just thinking about it.

Can’t choose, they both are really good. The sequel did honor to the original imo.

"The Karate Kid"

The new one is called the KARATE kid, but he gets taught kung-fu. Make it make sense.

"A Man Called Ove" vs. "A Man Called Otto"

Haven't seen either, but I've loved Tom Hanks since Bosom Buddies.

"Ghostbusters"

"It"

Anyone who thinks Bill Skarsgard was scarier than Tim Curry needs their heads examined by Top Men.Top. Men.

"A Star Is Born"

The older version with Judy Garland and James Mason was better. But there was the original in 1937, with Janet Gaynor and Fredric March.

"Blade Runner" vs. "Blade Runner 2049"

Who gives a damn about whether you think harrison ford or ryan gosling is hot? The first movie is based on an amazing book, the second movie is a sequel. They're both good, the first is better and the poll options we're offered here are stupid.

"Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" vs. "Tomb Raider"

"Charlie And The Chocolate Factory" vs. "Wonka"

W***y Wonka & the Chocolate Factory from 1971 is the original

"Taxi"

For real? The New York one is EMBARASSING. It takes away all the scoundrel charme of Naceri for some generic run-of-the-mill ghetto girl stance, and the impossible to like Fallon character. The original is campy, fun and ridiculous on purpose, the american version is just trashy.

"West Side Story"
Michael Grant 3 months ago
I love the musical. Saw it twice during the latest touring revival - it is simply the best musical ever produced. The original movie is an abomination. Natalie Wood (who I love) in brown-face and dubbed? Nope. Spielberg did West Side Story properly. He even included the best musical piece "Transition to Scherzo" which is usually left out.

"Pinnocchio"

"Disney's Pinocchio"? Both movies are from Disney (Also were is the Guillermo del Toro option?)

"Cats"

Are you kidding with this one? The 2019 film is literally one of the worst movies ever made

I'll die on the hill of W***y Wonka, The Lion King and Aladdin should NEVER be remade! I know that they do this to keep the trademark but leave original perfection alone.

Right? In several instances, a remake is being compared to another remake. Sloppy article, BP.

The overwhelming majority of remakes can't hold a candle to the originals. Most of the remakes that end up being actually good are not actually remakes of the original movies, but rather a new adaptation of the same novel / source material (like IT, Dune or even The Thing). Makes sense, in a way - if an original movie flops, nobody would want to touch it for a remake. If it's a hit, then the remake will often be done purely for cash-grabbing purposes and would face an uphill battle, having to live up to the standards set by the original.

Agreed, they seem to be made for the visuals rather than the script/story/visual. Just because they can be "remade" doesn't mean that they should be. You want to remake something? Try Metropolis, I fu¢king dare you! You can pump a bazillion $ into your "remake" and you'll still never touch the original. Those losers need to develop new stuff and stop turning the originals into some money grubbing blasphemy of good stuff. Now I'll go take my meds, lol.
