	I remember the Wild coming out and being like what the? Complete copy off Madagascar.

	Dante's Peak and Volcano. 1997 was the year of death by lava.

	@atoms12123: The Wild actually was written and went into production before Madagascar. Madagascar just got released first (and was much better).

	There are huge differences between the road and the book of eli. Their only similarities are really that they are both very gray and both post-apocalyptic. otherwise one is about a man protecting a very important book from evil doers...the other is about a man teaching his kid how to survive and avoid cannibals.

	So is the "doppelgänger" column supposed to contain the alleged "copy" movie? Because if it is, then Finding Nemo and Shark Tale should be switched.

	I always associated Leviathan with Deep Star Six since they both looked like schlocky monster/horror movies. The Abyss at least had the James Cameron name to elevate it.

	Truman Show vs. EdTV, yo.

	You accepted "1493" for "1492". I should give you five sporcles just for compensating for drunk people.

	I disagree that The Thin Red Line and Saving Private Ryan should be on the quiz. They both involved World War II, but that was the only major similarity between them. If they hadn't both been nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars in the same year, I doubt anyone would think of them as being doppelgängers.

	The fact that there were no films about eruptions or asteroids about to blow up the Earth movies on here was disapponting.

	Most, if not all, the doppleganger movies referenced in the comments were already in the "Same Movie, Different Title" quiz linked at the top of the page. I guess it's a bit ironic that it's the same quiz with a different name. BTW, the link is misspelled "Same Move, Different Title".

	I always felt the doppelganger for 'Existenz' was 'The Thirteenth Floor'.

	davebesag:	Dec 11th, 2010 at 13:43 GMT	5 points
	This is ridiculous. There's not much in common between eXistenZ and The Matrix (certainly neither eerily nor a Doppelgänger). If anything Lawnmover Man could be seen as an influence (nothing more) on eXistenZ.

	I wouldn't really consider this doppelganger movies. I thought this was going to give the title of a low budget movie that is made to confuse people (100 million BC vs 10,000 BC, Transmorphers vs Transformers). That might have been too easy though.

	No "Lambada" v. "The Forbidden Dance"?

	alexandracabot:	Dec 11th, 2010 at 15:41 GMT	0 points
	"The Road" and "Book of Eli" are not similar at all. Even if they were, "The Road" would hardly be the "doppelganger," since it's based on a Pulitzer-prize winning novel.

	Shark Tale and Finding Nemo are both animated films taking place in the ocean. The similarity ends there. This does seem a little subjective.

	beatlefan:	Dec 11th, 2010 at 17:42 GMT	12 points
	''Finding nemo is a million times better than Shark tale'' All in favour say 'aye'
