Body Snatchers (1993)
The Invasion (2007)

So, The Invasion is the 3rd remake, not the 3rd time it's been done.

Correct.

But with Hamlet and others you are talking about versions of a play, not remakes of a movie. Same goes for A Christmas Carol.

What is the record for something that started as a movie?

This is true for Hamlet, but the OP's wording was "based on the same story" in which case both Hamlet and A Christmas Carol would qualify. (A Christmas Carol was originally a short novel, not a play.)

"What is the record for something that started as a movie?" ~ Good question.

I think "The Time Machine" would have a lot of remakes or would have spawned a few offspring!

Three Musketeers
Sherlock Holmes
Pink Panther
The above must have quite a number of remakes, especially if we look globally, not just US releases.

Not the winner, but IMDb lists 18 The Hound of the Baskervilleseses - 1914-present, 4 for TV

I disagree.

Death Wish has been made {with different titles but the EXACT same premise} over 1001314134131414151421321312 times since the original came out.

I am pretty certain that Cinderella may be one of the most remade movies ever.

Agreed. Better to have no follow up sequel than to have the sc-fi channel touch it.

Something I want to ask all of you regarding The Thing. I few months ago, late at night I caught this movie on a station I cannot remember, but there was Narration going on mostly during the beginning of the film. The narrator would explain who each character was and add a little back ground info on him. It was bizzare. I had never seen this or heard of a version like this before. Anyone else catch that?
