The Curious Case of Forrest Gump
The guy who wrote the screenplay for the Curious Case of Benjamin Button also wrote the screenplay for Forrest Gump. And, it appears from this video, that he simply changed the names, times and events and kept the same formula, storytelling, themes and characters.
I understand that both movies were inspired by different stories (Gump, a novel, Button, a short story) but come on. Best similarities: "He spends time on a boat in the Gulf, with a drunk. He befriends a weird, black dude."

A self described Internet enthusiast, he says the World Wide Web brings him joy, sadness, excitement, joy and a deep sense of terror all at once. For him, it's a crossroads where college humor and the most valuable scholarly information can be found and, in some cases, even melded.
