Amazingly, some of the more popular movies in the past 20 years have been immediately copied within months of their release. See which big time flicks have very similar rivals.
Turner & Hooch / K-9 (1989)
The classic "buddy cop" cliche gets turned on it's head... or tail!

In order to save the Earth from a devastating collision with an asteroid (or comet, choose your poison) a team lands on the orbiting hunk of rock and detonates explosives to throw it off course.
Dante's Peak / Volcano (1998)
Volcanos cause lots of frantic exchanges of dialog followed by action sequences.
