End Credits: Let's Do it Again

Directors who made the same film twice. Why? Who the hell knows. Some questions I just don't ask.

Oscar Micheaux: Birthright - 1924 and 1939

Cecil B. DeMille: The Squaw Man - 1914, 1918 AND 1931

Alfred Hitchcock: The Man Who Knew Too Much - 1934 and 1956

Woody Allen: September - 1987 and 1987. He made the movie first with Maureen O'Sullivan, Charles Durning and Sam Shepard, then made it again with Elaine Stritch, Denholm Elliott and Sam Waterston in their roles. Why? Maybe he was bored.


Michael Haneke: Funny Games - 1997 and 2007 (Kind of a ten-year anniversary thing I guess)

Martin Scorcese: Goodfellas 1990 Casino 1995. Oh, wait a minute...
