Default What's the Most Remade Film?
Without recourse to reference material or the Net, does anybody know which three films have been remade the most?

I'd hazard a guess that DocRobertPepper is right, although maybe not in that order.

The Cure For Insomnia (about 85hrs IIRC) which features somoeone reading a poem.

I remember reading about some bloke showing blank film for days on end to people, but as there was nothing on it I don't think it counts.

Longest film with a story is, I think, Chinese.
"Boom boom a baby .... Banham Zoo .... Banana pants! Hahahaha"

Correct. Lassie is a female character but all nine of the dogs who portrayed her have been male. Pal, born 20 June 1940 was the first.

Correct. 87 hours featuring L.D. Groban reading a poem.
