Which movie had released multiple times?
Recently Avatar (2009) film released in China. So which movie had released multiple times? Rizosome (talk) 04:30, 3 April 2021 (UTC)


 * this may not be the answer you are searching for but in my movie going experience Gone with the Wind (film) was released every decade or so - always with cleaned up prints and restored/enhanced color. Metropolis (1927 film) was also re-released numerous times. Each release seemed to have new and different restored footage that had been cut from the 1927 film. In the years before VHS (and later DVD and then streaming) many of Walt Disney's animated films like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937 film) and Fantasia (1940 film) were on a regular schedule for re-release. There are numerous other examples and other editors may have a clearer answer for you. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 05:25, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, before home video came along, many major movies got re-releases. In addition to your list, Ben Hur, 2001 and The Wizard of Oz come to mind. Also some 1950s Hitchcock films were re-released once their copyright situations were untangled. This included Rear Window and Vertigo. The problem is that the OP's question is ambiguous - that is, do they mean "in the same country" or "at different times in different countries"? If it's the latter, the list will be very long. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 09:31, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:3D re-releases may be the only list we have. The search finds 2000 films but some results are not about theatrical re-releases. PrimeHunter (talk) 10:16, 3 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Searching for director's cut (here and elsewhere) might be fruitful. --  Jack of Oz   [pleasantries]  14:27, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Before the advent of home video recorders, successful films were rereleased in cinemas at regular intervals. I went to watch Ben-Hur (1959) at our local cinema in about 1970. Disney films like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Bambi were frequently shown during school holidays in the 1960s and 1970s. Alansplodge (talk) 14:25, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

Musical composition
This seems to be some classical music composition (possibly Beethoven), please remind me. Heard it before. Thanks. 212.180.235.46 (talk) 20:12, 3 April 2021 (UTC)


 * It is a snappy version of the Piano Concerto No. 1 (Tchaikovsky). Here is one of 100s of performances on YouTube. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 20:35, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
