One school of thought holds that all stories can be summed up as Exposition/Rising Action/Climax/Falling Action/Denouement or to simplify it even further, Stuff Happens  Yep, that's it, all right.  No, wait--I think I'd put it more like: Expectation/Encountering of problems/Expectation Fulfilled (or not).  
  Hell's Tunas?!

Nice question FF, and great thread, folks.  I agree with you FF, that a name for such a category of films (films that are not exact remakes but share silimalr plots or storylines) should exist. Maybe we should create one?? How about 'filmkins'...for kinship of films or filmhoods? We might pronounce the latter as 'fil- moods'. Any takers?   tsuwm, thanks for pointing out that not so subtle difference between metamorphosis and transformation.

save me from the big bad mean Jackieexplain to him that I am not mean...Time out!  I need a clarification here, Jackie.  Do I understand correctly from the above, that you accept the "big bad" (as in Red Riding Hood's wolf), and deny only the "mean?"    Full disclosure, Bingley:  Jackie is none of those things; she just likes to pretend occasionally.  After all, Ol' Momma of the Spider Skulls MC has a reputation to protect   Edit:  Sorry, maahey, we now return to our regularly scheduled thread

 tsuwm, Regarding the distinction between the terms. This is a distinction in technical definition and not general definition, right?

  I'd go further than that and say it's a distinction in the mind of Tobias, whose list was presented above (or whoever transformed his list on that website--I've not read the original).
