Twilight Man June 22, 2017 Share June 22, 2017 (edited) Same premise, people. Much like music, Throughout the history of Hollywood, it's hard to convey your "magnum opus" in as little as five words without replicating some other title from "long ago" (or perhaps not so long ago). No replicate titles from franchises or remakes, please. And try not to go onto IMDB or some other site .......... (knowing full well you people are going to do it anyway). Black Sheep - Chris Farley, David Spade, need I say more?? Black Sheep - killer zombie sheep, need I say more?? Twilight - Bella, you're an idiot Twilight - Paul Neuman, Gene Hackman, and James Garner kicking butt?? Yes, please, Man of The House - Johnathan Taylor Thomas outsmarting Chevy Chase Man of The House - Tommy Lee Jones protecting four cheerleaders who saw a murder Edited June 22, 2017 by Twilight Man 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/58936-same-name-different-song-er-ah-i-mean-movie/

paulvdb June 27, 2017 Share June 27, 2017 Can we include movies with the same name as tv (mini)series? Of course keeping the same rules about not including franchises, remakes, reboots, continuations or adaptations of the same source material. Taken (2002): Three families experience alien abductions over a period of five decades. Taken (2008): A retired CIA agent travels across Europe and relies on his old skills to save his estranged daughter, who has been kidnapped while on a trip to Paris.

The Gambler (1980) - Kenny Rogers made a movie based loosely on his song, then he made another, and another, and............. The Gambler (2014) - Wahlberg is a literaure professor who owes a "LOT" of money to loan sharks and this is actually a remake of a 1974 James Caan film that also had the same name. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/58936-same-name-different-song-er-ah-i-mean-movie/#findComment-3494317

Suicide Squad (1935) - Is a firefighter a true hero or a "grandstanding four-flusher"?? (What does that even mean??)
