Two other examples I forgot about till I googled the subject:

Leo McCarey remade Love Affair into An Affair to Remember.

Raoul Walsh remade High Sierra as the western Colorado Territory (1949). High Sierra was then remade a second time by a different director as I Died a Thousand Times (1955).

Yeah, thought of The Vanishing and Funny Games immediately.

Bangkok Dangerous - haven't seen either version

Ozu's Good Morning is also considered to be a remake of his silent film, He Was Born, But...

Quote:

Ball of Fire and A Song is Born, both by Howard Hawks.

Hawk's El Dorado and Rio Lobo are often considered to be loose remakes of Rio Bravo. Rio Bravo and El Dorado are based on different books, but critics often point out that the plots of all three have a lot of similarities. The three are the last three westerns Hawks made, with Rio Lobo, of course, being his final film of all.

There's a very low-budget noir film called Fear in the Night, starring DeForest Kelly. The director, Maxwell Shane, later remade it as the slightly less-low budget movie Nightmare, starring Edward G. Robinson and Kevin McCarthy.

Haneke was the first one to come to mind, and most noteworthy along with Ozu (Floating Weeds). Also, Ball of Fire and A Song is Born, both by Howard Hawks. And I haven't seen LA Takedown but Heat is supposedly a remake of it and both are by Michael Mann.

George Sluizer, The Vanishing. Similarly to Funny Games, the director remade it in English to reach a wider audience.

The original is fantastic. I haven't seen the remake, but I hear it's awful.

Good one.
I remember hearing about some European directors years and years ago in the 1930s or something who remade their European movies in English. I can't remember who they were though. But I did think of two actors who were in remakes of their own movies. Michael Caine who was in the original and also the remake of Sleuth. And Sophia Loren who was in the original and the remake of Two Women.

Michael Haneke, Funny Games. That's the only example off the top of my head. I'll post others if I think of any. Btw, Funny Games is great, both versions that is.

Alfred Hitchcock is the only director I know about who did a remake of his own movie, which would be The Man Who Knew Too Much.
Do you know if there's any more? I can't think of any other examples but I'm sure there must be.
