Dante's Peak / Volcano (1997) *Thanx Moth3r*

Event Horizon / Sphere (1997 / 1998) *Thanx Bingo*

Armageddon / Deep Impact (1998)

Mission To Mars / Red Planet (2000)

(More of the same at Hollywood Deja-Vu)

In the same vein and around the same time as each other but a decade after the late 80's batch also came Virus and Sphere (which should have been called Sfear really) and the semi-related Event Horizon.

Virus alien created cyborgs on a submarine. Sphere a giant ship found in the ocean depths, the contents of which play on fears of the discoverers, Event Horizon, a giant ship that has returned from an unknowable dimension, become self aware and plays on the fears of the discoverers.

Also around the same time Hellraiser Bloodline and Jason X took their horror film series into spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace!

There were a couple of chess movies at the same time.

And a couple of movies about that marathon dude.

...

But the thread really should be titled "Movies in b*tches."  Heck, I might just go b*tch about it in the other thread.

Low budget 'found footage' shaky-cam horror about a group of amateur documentary film makers who disappear investigating a local myth promoted heavily on the web before it became commonplace.

Blair Witch Project (1999) or

The Last Broadcast (1998).

Also Session 9....well, 2001, but still...

In 2004 we had Starsky & Hutch, followed by The Dukes of Hazzard in 2005 and Miami Vice in 2006. All three movies are based on TV shows; S&H finished in 1979, the same year that DoH started, and Miami Vice started in 1984 one year before DoH ended.

Look over there, Ric likes that guy...
