Can you think of 2 movies that have the same title but are completely different movies or 2 movies that have different titles but are basically the same movie?

There's an oscar-winning 50's movie called "Moulin Rouge" but it's a completely different movie than last year's musical of the same name.

Ginger Rogers starred as the title character in the movie "Roxie Hart".Sound familiar? That's "Chicago" without the music!

There are two films called "Poison Ivy".

The 1992 film starred Drew Barrymore where her character befriended this girl and then she started acting all crazy on her and tried to take over her family.

The 1985 film starred Michael J. Fox and Nancy McKeon. A good-natured lad signs up to be a counselor in the hopes of earning a little dough. He's barely pitched his tent, when he realizes he's in over his head.
He must contend with shenanigans from the campers under his authority, problems courtesy of the pesky wildlife around him, and lascivious advances from the middle-aged blond nurse.
When everything seems to be falling apart, he meets someone who just might be the Girl Of His Dreams...

Not really. In that moofie, Roxie never killed anyone, she didn't have a boyfriend and she had like 349 kids.

The Rainmaker with Burt Lancaster in 1956 written by N. Richard Nash. Then The Rainmaker with Matt Damon and Danny De Vito in 1997. The Damon/De Vito version was not a remake of the Lancaster movie. It was a completely different movie based on a novel by John Grisham.

There are two 13 Ghosts movies: the 1960's version and the 2001 remake with the guy who played Antonio on Wings. I think there are a couple of movies called House on Haunted Hill, The Haunting, Only You, and A Christmas Carol.

The Rainmaker films, for example, aren't remakes they're not at all the same movie. Different writers, different stories, etc.
