Movies that never lose their appeal, that have been remade and are still being

remade because the stories are still funny today as they once were, or because they are still relevant, or just such great stories that they can be remade to fit the times. Vivienna had posted about old movies and it got me to thinking and a while back I think it was emeraldisle who posted about movie remakes, so what movie remakes can you think of that still work, there are many that don't, but work, or maybe even better than the original. Example Back Street 1932 with Irene Dunne Back Street 1941 with Margaret Sullivan Back Street 1961 with Susan Hayward The best version was the Susan Hayward version. Front Page 1931 with Pat O'Brien His Girl Friday 1940 with Cary Grant Front Page 1974 with Jack Lemon Switching Channels 1988 with Kathleen Turner While the name of the movie was changed when the character of Hildy Johnson was played by a woman the movie was the same. But in this case the 1940 and 1974 versions were the best.
