Truly Madly Deeply/Ghost
Not sure they were similar, and certainly not copycat.I'd lost a family member a couple of months before I first saw TMD and it really hit home. Some bits of the script used the same phrases that I'd said. Really quite spooky, and not because of the supposed ghosts.
Ghost was just entertainment, and perhaps instructions on ceramics.
Have you guys ever endured watching one of the mockbusters from The Asylum?

Finding Nero and Shark Tale, whatever it was called.
Comparing Finding Nemo and Shark Tale is like comparing a Ferrari to an MR2 with fibreglass add ons made to look like a Ferrari.

The Entebbe raid spawned at least two main cinema releases, plus many TV specials, books, probably a musical by now, too.
LA Take Down and Heat?
The Omega Man and I Am Legend (although Omega Man was based on a book that had already been filmed as well).
Heat's just a big-budget remake of LA Takedown.LA Take Down and Heat?

'The Omega Man' IS based, rather loosely, on 'I Am Legend'. There was also a previous film, 'Last Man on Earth', in 1964.

Not a straight copycat but both the share the concept of a woman losing a partner and seeing their partner as a ghost but that's where the similarities end but it hasn't stopped TMD often described as thinking man's Ghost.I'd lost a family member a couple of months before I first saw TMD and it really hit home.

Battle for Terra and Avatar. Both out the same year.
Yeah, that's a pretty good one. Sometimes a major film with similar plot can help bump what would be a DVD film onto the big screen.
Told my lot that I had booked the whole place especially for them.
I thought it was a really good film and beautifully animated.

Super Fast ... total rip off of the Fast & Furious films!!!
That actually a spoof/parody, not a rip off, ive not seen it yet but its supposed to be really funny and good (and be very careful to not offend paul walkers memory). The twilight parody was also good too.As for 2/3 (I remember 3 films being remarkably similar launched at the same time but cant remember what they are) films being the similar coming out at the same time, could that be because a script has been read but the prospective producers like the idea/setting but don't like the actual script but make a film anyway and a different produce takes the original script hence 2 films that are similar concepts?

Dredd 3D vs The Raid
total rip off of Dredd
Dredd script got leaked while in production and this quick n dirty copy got made and released 1st while Dredd was in post production.
The kicker, The Raid got a sequel
Except 'the raid' was a remake of an Indonesian film written by a welsh dude. Not sure how the years fit together that the films were released, the Indonesian film could be a copy of dredd I supposed but the writer of 'the raid' had made similar films before.total rip off of Dredd
