quite a few!

There's the original Ring, which is based on a book. There's also a sequel called Spiral, which was based on the sequel book, and was released at the same time as Ring in Japan. But it flopped--it went more science-y than supernatural, and audiences didn't like it. So they eventually made Ring 2, which borrowed some elements from a short story compilation in the book series. The prequel is Ring 0, based on a story from the same compilation.

Then there's Sadako 3D and Sadako 3D2, which are kind of like reboots? They update the 'Sadako' lore for the modern age.

There's also The Ring Virus, which is a Korean remake that borrows many elements from the books, and came out less than a year after the Japanese film was released.

Then there's the american remake, The Ring, and The Ring 2. 'Rings' is a short film that takes place before The Ring 2.
