remakes
Films done again
Remakes is the plural of remake—a new version of something made before, typically a film, song, or other creative work: Hollywood remakes of foreign films rarely capture the original's magic.
The word can also be a verb: She remakes the bed every morning.
Remakes range from faithful reproductions to radical reimaginings.
