10 Remakes That Totally Outshone The Original

10. Freaky Friday (2003)

Based on the 1972 novel by Mary Rodgers, the first Freaky Friday movie was released in 1976 and starred Barbara Harris and Jodie Foster as a mother-daughter pair who, after having frequently been at odds with each other, switch bodies for a day and learn to appreciate the difficulties in each other's lives.

A big hit, it snagged both Harris and Foster Golden Globe nominations to go along with a third for Best Original Song.

A little-known made-for-TV movie version was released in 1995 starring Shelley Long and Gabby Hoffmann, but it's the 2003 version that really made its mark.

The update starred Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan back before her name became synonymous with 'cautionary tale'. Despite the praise for Harris and Foster, the remake's cast is generally viewed to have done better. Curtis also received a Golden Globe nod and her being left out of the Oscar nominations has widely been considered a snub. The supporting cast includes Mark Harmon and Chad Michael Murray.

In 2017, it was announced that a fourth movie would go into production. This one is intended to be a musical version to air on the Disney Channel.
