Well back in the day sometimes even the thematic copies absolutely mogged the "blockbuster" A tier movie they're copying.

Those are still big ass studios who produced the movies.
I always imagined it more like they catch wind of a project that the other studio is doing, but don't have all the details, and then look through their pile of scripts to find something similar.
Armageddon and Deep Impact are way different movies but I feel like that is what happened.
Dante's Peak and Volcano.

exactly right, and its studios capitalising on a profitable trend. Like after Star Wars came out of nowhere and made a gazillion dollars there was a big scramble to make sci fi space films, the only reason we got Star Trek on the big screen was Paramount wanting some of that Star Wars money.

Filtered list of actual intelligent kino from the thread. No boomer-tier nostalgia or action slop.

>Critically-Acclaimed / Indie:
The Player (1992): Altman's brilliant, cynical satire of Hollywood itself. Essential viewing.
Short Cuts (1993): Another Altman ensemble masterpiece. Complex, interwoven stories of LA life.
Naked (1993): Bleak, dialogue-heavy, and philosophical Brit film. A dark masterpiece.
Welcome to the Dollhouse (1995): A brutal and hilarious dark comedy about the horrors of middle school.
Drugstore Cowboy (1989): Gus Van Sant's authentic, non-judgmental look at a crew of junkies.
Slacker (1990): Linklater's plotless landmark of 90s indie film. Pure vibes and conversation.
Birdy (1984): Strange, powerful film about two friends dealing with post-war trauma.

>Neo-Noir / Crime Thrillers:
King of New York (1990): Ultra-stylish and violent thriller. Iconic Christopher Walken performance.
Bad Lieutenant (1992): Unflinching, raw, and controversial. Keitel's performance is legendary.
To Live and Die in L.A. (1985): Gritty, high-energy thriller with one of the best car chases ever filmed.
One False Move (1992): A tense, character-driven crime story that got universal praise from critics.
Out of Sight (1998): Soderbergh's witty and stylish Elmore Leonard adaptation. A perfect script.
Croupier (1998): A cool, cerebral British neo-noir.
The Spanish Prisoner (1997): A sharp, intricate con thriller from David Mamet. All about the dialogue.

>Psychological / Genre-Bending:
Jacob's Ladder (1990): A surreal and influential psychological horror film. A true mind-bender.
Exotica (1994): A hypnotic, non-linear thriller about obsession and grief.
Near Dark (1987): Kathryn Bigelow's unique and atmospheric blend of the western and vampire genres.
Something Wild (1986): Starts as a quirky comedy and masterfully shifts into a dark, violent thriller.

Yes. It was actually popular/highly regarded at the time. Just disappeared. I feel envious of zoomers who will stumble on these films. When I was a kid going to VHS stores, it was really nice being able to stumble on 80's films you'd never heard of that were fantastic. You would look them on cinemania and see they actually had great contemporary reviews, but for whatever reaaon never stayed culturally relevant.

this has always happened, though. Casablanca was famously just another decent movie when it was released but the revival theater circuit kept it alive so that film heads could keep seeing it until it became canon. Gilda, one of the best movies ever made, didn't even have a print decent enough to do this with, so it never had a VHS run or dvd until I believe it was UCLA and Scorsese and others paid for a restoration. I first saw it when Netflix switched to streaming and there's an intro thing that explains it.

This movie must be more known, because there is so much written about the reaction to it and all the ridicule.

But there hasn't been any revisionism on it yet and I barely get any reaction on /tv/ from it.

It has proper budget with great cinematography, great casting and non-cliche story you can't easily guess upon.

Maybe it's more of a 1970s movie though from the looks.

I was going down a Michael Ritchie rabbit hole a while back, and this was one of his films that I was curious to check out due to the completely absurd premise. This was Benchley's followup after the smash success of Jaws, too. The funny thing is that he would later recycle the premise with small alterations for his television series, "Peter Benchley's Amazon."

Maybe the premise is absurd, but it's also interesting and with shows nowadays being made to show the viewpoint from the other guy's perspective (Kobra Kai), a modern series would probably be take place among the "baddies".

I think it was considered to be a box office disappointment, because it didn't do Jaws numbers for the studio. I think audiences were expecting more of a "man vs. nature" action-adventure. The movie stretches suspension of disbelief beyond its breaking point.

The interesting thing is that the premise works better as a television series. Rather than being villains, the characters in "Amazon" are decendants of religious pilgrims from 17th century Europe who were blown off-course on their way to the New World. The episodic nature of television allows for greater world-building, and everything becomes less preposterous. It's still pretty silly, though.

Streets of Fire has one of the most relentlessly handsome leads I've ever seen in a movie in Michael Pare. I guess he wasn't a very good actor or refused to suck enough jew dick or something, because he didn't have much of a career and is still playing shitty bit parts.

Anyway, Streets of Fire is a really well paced action film with plenty of visual flair and a pretty solid cast. Diane Lane, Willem Dafoe, and the dweeb from Ghostbusters are all in it.

Matinee by Joe Dante, with John Goodman. It's about a teenager, Gene, who lives on the local army base in Key West, Florida during the Cuban Missile Crisis. While at his favorite spot, the local movie theatre, he meets b-movie director, Lawrence Worley (played by Goodman), who's ready to premier his new movie, Mant, in Key West. Lawrence then takes on Gene as a personal assistant for the 4D presentation of Mant.
The movie borrows a lot of elements from Ciname Paradiso, but it's far from a drama movie. Joe Dante's handprints are all over the movie.
