    In 1982, Steven Spielberg inadvertently pays homage to an Alfred Hitchcock classic from the early 1960's.
    In 1993, Steven Spielberg inadvertently pays homage to an Alfred Hitchcock classic from the early 1960's.
    One unlikely movie similarity. Two facts. There are 45 unlikely movie similarities between 1982 and 1993 (90 facts) that point to the end of
    Poltergeist
    as having the same weight as
    Schindler's List

      This is quite hard to understand. Presumably you mean to say that there are many respects in which Polt and Psycho are similar and equally many ways in which The Birds and Jurassic Park are similar. And presumably you want to say something relating the end of Polt to the end of Schindlers. That's a lot of similarities (of different kinds?) to be asserting in a very short post. Perhaps you could repost your thoughts at soemwhat greater length with at least a few examples of similarities for each pair of films you want to see as importantly related.

        I have threads at Schindler's List and at Poltergeist to further explain the 45 similarities. You're more than welcome to go to those discussion boards to read my threads there.
        I don't have all 45 movie similarities up yet, but I have some of the bigger ones up. Hopefully upon seeing those other similarities, you might be able to see the pattern of unlikely similarities that show that something amazing happened between 1982 and 1993.

          even JAWS has a lot of Hitchcock feel

            Jaws and Duel. Spielberg’s early thrillers were based almost entirely on Hitchcock. Hitchcock praised Spielberg and said he was a filmmaker who understood the language of fear and suspense.

              It’s kinda like an insult, since they’re not on the same realm.
              Without strife, your victory has no meaning.
              Without strife, you do not advance.
              Without strife, there is only stagnation.
