Good call on The Prestige. I remember thinking about how it was similar to The Illusionist when it came out.

The Double and Enemy (2013)

reply

I never thought about that. They are similar.

"Dangerous Liaisions" and "Valmont" were released within a year of each other. There were also two movies about Truman Capote and the writing of "In Cold Bloid" that were released within a year of each other.

In both cases, the film that was released first made more money and got more awards.

reply

Valmont was always known as Milo's Foreman's worst film. It's nowhere near as respected as Dangerous Liaisons.

reply

It's a totally a pretty good film, Annette Benning is quite stunning in the leading role.

But it does kind of fall apart at the end, unlike "DL", which just gets better and better until the final shot.

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves came out the same time as an English Robin Hood movie with Uma Thurman. The second one apparently wasn't very good. Come to think of it, the Costner flick was no great shakes either.

reply

I've never knew this Uma Thurman Robin Hood movie existed.

reply

I was watching Minty Comedic Arts on YouTube and he has an episode on this very subject.

reply

It was better than the Costner flick.

reply

Never seen it. Taking your word for it.

reply

I remember it came to vhs first and I was like "two in the same.year?"

reply

Same here. Stuff like that has happened a few times.

They should really bring the cop and dog movies back. The premise is so ridiculous.

reply

Not sure this counts:
Octopussy (1983)
Never Say Never Again (1983)

reply

It counts.

reply

Daddy's Home 2 (2017)
A Bad Moms Christmas (2017)

reply

Both are sequels too.

reply

There were over 30 slashers released in 1982.

reply

GOOD YEAR.

reply

Indeed it was!

reply

There had to have been a point when producers were telling themselves that they needed to cut down on slashers.
