Poll: Favorite Oscars Déjà Vu Best Picture Movie?

Movie-goers' déjà vu experience the past five years with Best Picture Oscar-nominated films: A Star Is Born (2018), Little Women (2019), West Side Story (2021), and All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) has become an annual tradition. In-development déjà vu films, like Cleopatra (????) and My Fair Lady (????), potentially could keep that Oscars nomination trend going in the future. Currently, the total pairs of Best Picture nominated movies based on the same story stands at a dozen. A notable mark for an award ceremony that for over ninety-five years has repeatedly demonstrated an aversion to reboots, remakes and sequels.

Which of these select Oscar-nominated movies that triggers a déjà vu* feeling is your favorite Best Picture retelling?

*a feeling of having already seen the same story in a Best Picture nominee before (same story movie Best Picture sets based the on the same original source material or a revised version)
