As a kid, anytime my dad was watching tv, he was watching TCM. I've learned there were a lot more remakes of old movies than I realized, and was always told, the original is much better--aside from the black and white, which I quickly got over, that's mostly held true.

Wikipedia has a huge list (split into two articles) of film remakes, and I really enjoyed reading through it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_film_remakes

One tidbit that I learned: “A Star Is Born” has been remade three times (not including the original), with releases in 1937, 1954, 1976, and 2018.
