Puzzle of the Week #411 - Best Remakes

Watching the Oscars this year I noticed that one of the nominees for Best Picture was a remake of one of the very first winners almost a century ago. In fact, in four of the last five years, a Best Picture nominee has been a remake of a film to previously be nominated for Best Picture. I trawled the lists and found several more examples for you to try and discover below. Where a film has three or more words in the title, I’ve given the initials; where it has only a single or two-word title, I’ve given an anagram.
