To an extent, I think it's because they can happen so many different ways, so some are basically ripoffs, while others are coincidences, and still others are intentional competition. A few that aren't necessarily my favorite movies but my favorite examples: Jobs - Steve Jobs Once Steve Jobs died, it was basically a race to see who could put a movie out about him first. Jobs won the race but ended up with a much more poorly received movie. The Jungle Book - Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle Fun fact, Mowgli was actually intended to come out the same year as The Jungle Book, but ended up with several pushbacks, so by the time it actually came out, it was essentially written off, after Disney's had been such a success. Happy Feet - Surf's Up Probably the first one I actually remember noticing in real time. I would've been about 14 or so when Surf's Up came out, and I distinctly remember thinking "wait, another one?" before even knowing what twin films were. No Strings Attached - Friends with Benefits This has to be the most well-known examples, to the point where it kind of became a meme, because these were literally the exact same movie. No Strings Attached was even originally titled Friends with Benefits but had to change it. some of my other favorites: The Road to El Dorado - The Emperor's New Groove Freddy vs. Jason - Alien vs. Predator The Prestige - The Illusionist Repo! The Genetic Opera - Repo Men The Raid - Dredd Goodbye Christopher Robin - Christopher Robin Skate Kitchen - Mid90s PS: @Camden I highly, highly recommend both The Raid films, they're excellent --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs <cite>Johnbobb posted [p:955776167] in Movie Club...
