King Kong
Night of the Living Dead
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Carrie
The Great Gatsby
The Mummy
Freaky Friday
Annie
Any others?
EDIT: I know that multiple films based on the same book technically wouldn't count since they are just adaptions of the same source material and are otherwise unrelated. Others have correctly pointed this out already and I've actually brought that up on these boards in the past. But let's go ahead and include those anyway just to make it more interesting and allow for longer discussion. Otherwise, this would likely be a rather short list.

You already mentioned the Mummy, but pretty much all the classic horrors have been done more than once, Dracula, Frankenstein, the Wolfman, etc..
A Star is Born has to date three remakes...for some reason.
Any classic fairy tale has tons of adaptations/remakes as well of course.
That's all I got for now.

Technically a remake is a movie based mostly on another movie.
I have issues calling movies adapted from famous novels remakes, because they really aren't. They are just another adaptation.

I was gonna say the same thing, what constitutes as a "remake" vs "readaptation" can be a little tricky. For instance, the Shining miniseries isn't considered a "remake" (Stephen King King hated the Kubrick version, so he made a more faithful version of his book). On the other hand, Psycho (1998) is considered a remake of the Hitchcock film rather than a new adaptation of the 1959 novel (it's a shot for shot remake of the 1960 film)

That is a direct remake of the 1960 movie.

Seven Samurai (1954) remade as The Magnificent Seven (1960) followed by The Magnificent Seven (2016).
The original Burt Reynolds movie The Longest Yard (1974) was remade in 2005 with Adam Sandler under the same title. It also got remade as a 2001 film called Mean Machine with Jason Statham and Vinnie Jones.

The Maltese Falcon (1931). The second version (Satan Met a Lady, 1936) is a comic readaptation of the book; the third (1941) is the famous Humphrey Bogart/John Huston one, and while it’s the best of the three I think I would consider it a remake of the ’31.

Carrie. Before anyone says that shouldn’t count. Watch the 2013 remake and tell me it’s not almost EXACTLY like the De Palma movie.

Ben-Hur. 1907, 1925, 1959, 2016 There's a 1907 version?
The 1925 version is included with the DVD of the Charlton Heston one that I have. I watched it once; it's still pretty good for its age.
