Some films are remade over and over.
Often this is due to the lack of imagination in Hollywood but there are cases that a story is endearing enough to be retold from a slightly different perspective. In 1983 Flashdance was released and changed filmmaking and fashion. The rock video became a format for a movie. The story of a girl from a small town trying to become a dancer while working in another field hit big. Now, in 2000 the same basic story is brought out again with Coyote Ugly.
