24/7 Wall Street's 20 Movies They Just Can't Stop Remaking

"The movie business has been accused, not without some justification, of being lacking in imagination. Sure, plenty of groundbreaking original films have been released over the years. So much of what gets produced these days is blatantly derivative: Sometimes it seems as if no old TV show or comic book franchise is safe from movie-makers, and that there's no hit film that doesn't deserve a sequel or two or maybe quite a few more. Then there are remakes — either new versions of original films or fresh adaptations of classic novels. 24/7 Tempo has assembled a list of 20 of the most remade films of all time. It excludes foreign-language films, TV movies, sequels, and spin-offs that spiral off too far from the original. What we've considered the definitive versions is open to debate, but the choices noted below have all gained considerable critical acclaim." - 247wallst.com
