	I guess when two movies have the same plot I never make it around to watching both of them

	Thought for sure we'd get Top Gun/Iron Eagle

	MrCalzoon- US Marshals was actually like a crumby sequel, probably because Tommy Lee Jones still wanted to play detective..

	I found The Thin Red Line stultifyingly boring. It's not because I don't like Malick, either, because I really like Days of Heaven and The New World. Somehow the combination of war+endless interior monologues did not work for me, at all.

	The reptiles/water movies were a little too far away from each other to qualify, in my opinion. I also would have added Paul Blart / Observe & Report.

	"Beer League" & "Beerfest" -- both 2006.

	WTF is overnight delivery?

	FilmJunkie:	Apr 8th, 2010 at 06:35 GMT	18 points
	I'm looking forward to "Different Movie, Same Name". You know, Crash (1996) and Crash (2005), Notorious (1946) and Notorious (2009), etc.

	Could've sworn that Godzilla was a giant violent reptile who swam across an ocean.

	Either this is a rehash of an old one or this is very similar to an already-published Sporcle quiz. Which would be very ironic.

	wqlk3:	Apr 8th, 2010 at 10:50 GMT	12 points
	Hmm, I was expecting the Paul Blart: Mall Cop and Observe and Report.

	Koltrane:	Apr 8th, 2010 at 11:43 GMT	-2 points
	I would vote for Pretty In Pink and Some King of Wonderful, but since they are both John Hughes movies where he effectively rewrote the script, it might not really fit the spirit of this quiz.

	ShepherdBook:	Apr 8th, 2010 at 12:04 GMT	4 points
	I tried "Life is Beautiful" for the "WWII, War is Tragic" catergory. Surely that fits.

	dldove77:	Apr 8th, 2010 at 12:18 GMT	10 points
	I liked it better when I came up with it, nine days before this guy. http://www.sporcle.com/games/dldove77/Doppelganger_movies

	Chasing Liberty/First Daughter. Both from 2004. Girl is president's daughter. Girl wants freedom/normal life. Father (president) agrees, but sends along a secret spy. Girl falls in love with spy, but then is pissed when his true identity is revealed...

	How about the two animated films about lions in the Central Park Zoo who escape? Madagascar and The Wild

	slew:	Apr 8th, 2010 at 12:51 GMT	3 points
	Without Limits should be watched by more people; it's a great movie.

	pzummo:	Apr 8th, 2010 at 13:11 GMT	0 points
	The Thin Red Line should actually be paired with another movie: The English Patient. Only the category would be "mind-crushingly boring World-War II epics that go on and on and on and on without end, leaving the audience wishing for the sweet release of death." Or something like that.

	cappy:	Apr 8th, 2010 at 13:27 GMT	2 points
	schulace: The Godzilla remake was released in 1998. The quiz lists movies for '97 and '99. Yeah, I tried to input it too.

	dldove77:	Apr 8th, 2010 at 13:33 GMT	10 points
	Since mine wasn't used, at least throw these onto this quiz: Top Gun/Iron Eagle; Mall Cop/Observe and Report; Chasing Liberty/First Daughter.
