Hey I have been saying this commen theme thing for years now. I just wanted to add to the list…

Skyline and Battle of LA about alien take over focus on alien aircrafts which I beilieve are spin offs of district 13.

A-team and Losers brought back similair groups of older comic book and tv show gun for hire type charecters.

R.E.D and Expendables groups of old movie stars who are mercinaries.

The killers and Day & knight about a couple in love who happen to be undercover mercinaries.

The Day the Earth stood still and War of the worlds both on the end of the world and the takeover by hositile alien races or possible even knowing with Nicholas cage.

I know there are tons more I just forgot them tho and I guess my reason for this coincidence is because a movie company will come up with a general ideal and then tell multiple writers to come up with an story.

Oh and this year, ‘no strings attached’ and ‘friends with benefits’

sounds like they are going to be two very similar films.

Top Gun (1986), Iron Eagle (1986)

Twister (1996), Tornado! (1996)

Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982), The Last American Virgin (1982)

I’ve been noticing this since I was a kid. Has to be something more to this than mere coincidence?
