Did You Know These Classic Films Were All Remakes?

Freaky Friday

It's hard to imagine anyone aside from Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan in these roles, but this flick is actually from 1976 first! The plot is basically the same, with a mom and daughter needing to switch bodies for a day. However, there are way more jokes and laughs to be had in the 2003 version!

The Parent Trap

In 1998, the world met not one but two young Lindsay Lohans as she starred as twins in "The Parent Trap." This 1998 nostalgic classic is actually a remake of the same-titled flick from 1961. No matter the generation, these kids always get up to some pretty hilarious hijinks!
