Sometimes movies will come out with a very simular premise to several other movies that are around. One of them usually is embraced by pop culture and people... the other is usually pushed into underground or "cult" status. This thread is to compare movies that are simular to each other, be them remakes of originals, or movies that simply resemble one another.

For example IMO:

NEAR DARK > THE LOST BOYS

or

The original OMEN > the remade OMEN

commenting on your two examples...

I don't see the point in scene-for-scene remakes, so the original Omen wins. :)

near dark was awesome! the whole practical drudgery of vampire everyday life if you're not swimming in $$$ really caught me.

I'm amazed no one's remade Soilent Green yet.

how about: Executive Decision vs. Air Force One?

I usually go for originals but think the second body snatchers was best...I only watched the original last week. (Black and white) If you consider the effects and technology and acting expertise for the time however, the original was better. Harder work and whatnot.

There were so many movies that copied it I don't even know where to begin. Then there are some that seem to copy 3 at once, and mush it all together.

Copycat is the best form of flattery. They say...I say if you’re going to tear a classic to shreds and make it crap....just don't. Plenty of new scripts out there. Give someone new a chance.

eXistenZ > The Matrix

Equalibrium > The Matrix

The Matrix > The Matrix Reloaded and The Matix Revolution

I have never seen eXistenZ. But out off the others ...Equilibrium (at least I am assuming that is what you meant)... fucking hands down.

      I'm outside, looking like a crackhead standing on the corner probably scaring the neighbors just waiting. It's cold 🥶

      That's insane! I mean maybe start administering tests? Like if you can't identify an open door you may have to be weeded out of the candidate pool.

      ~~~~~ I totally feel you.  One time I literally caught the UPS driver posting the "Sorry" note on my screen door because the front door was wide open...and he missed it?!?

      This UPS man wants to play with me! He literally came here after he allegedly came here yesterday and some time between the time I was posting about this yesterday until about a half hour ago left a sorry I missed you slip with the delivery notice number on it from yesterday not today,  I called and they said only one delivery attempt has been made to this address and that was yesterday. Omg this bitch ass muthafucker has got for real jokes.

      Yesterday UPS straight up lied and marked my delivery as some bullshit like delivery attempted. I was literally upstairs cooking dinner and the door is right there, last month they left it on my mailbox no problem. Yesterday I called and they are even more impossible to talk to on the phone,  I told the bitch your people be lying I been here this whole time and she said they should have left something with a number so I checked the mailbox and wasn't shit there. Why lie, why not just reschedule the damn delivery in the first place because idk maybe you had one delivery left but had to take a shit real bad or idk your wife was about to give birth and you had to leave work early or whatever you got going on. I guess it looks better if it's my fault and maybe because having to leave work early because you had to poop or wife or you yourself was about to give birth or get a blow job isn't an option for the drop down check box thing? Idk I'm making up shit now. Just bring me my peptides!
