Did You Know These Classic Films Were All Remakes?

Endless Love

It was the year 2014 when director Shana Feste showed what true young love looks like with her adaptation of the 1979 novel by Scott Spencer. Of course, this film first debuted in 1981 with an all-star cast that included supermodel-actress Brooke Shields and legendary heartthrob Martin Hewitt.
