Did You Know These Classic Films Were All Remakes?

A Star Is Born

You may just think of this movie as Lady Gaga's acting debut, and that's accurate, but it's also got a rich history. This movie has been made and remade several times. In total, there have been 4 of them; 1951, 1954, 1976, and 2018. Unfortunately, Bradley Cooper only stars in the last one. 

Peter Pan

There have been lots of versions of "Peter Pan", but the 2003 version is pretty nostalgic for anyone who grew up in the aughts. Sure, the 1953 one features some classic animation styles and impressive humor, but does it have actual kids flying through the air? No? Then why bother.
