They've all been written before. As I go back and watch the classics, one realises that there are no new ideas, they've all been repurposed with a new backdrop and modern characters.
no. 194 The Apartment
First off, how can you NOT love a movie with Shirley and Jack? They are amongst my favorites.
Where it's ripped off?
Loser. Jason Biggs gets pushed around by his "buddies" into using his place as party central. He's so enamored by Mena Suvari that when she's incapable of taking care of herself, he fawns over her in the name of the unwilling boyfriend.
Harry and Sally. Running on New Years Eve to find the right person to spend your life with.
no.193 Out of Africa
So many iconic scenes!
Rip off?
Australia. Drover getting off his horse, running into Miss Boss' arms ie. Dennis' safari car and Karen. Strong willed woman running her own show. Amazing geography, wildlife and land. Big fire so I can find you - sing me to you.
