"The overhead shot of Marion in the bathtub followed by her screaming underwater was an exact replica of a shot in the Japanese animated thriller, _Perfect Blue (1997)_ . Darren Aronofsky bought the remake rights to the film just to use that one sequence."

I have no clue why he purchased the rights, maybe it was just to make sure everything was right with the karmic cycle of the world...

"...ProudFEET!' shouted an elderly hobbit from the back of the pavilion. His name of course was Proudfoot and well merited;
his feet were large, exceptionally furry, and both on the table."

While Jay & Silent Bob may have a bunch of references it is supposed to so I submit
Worst offender hands down... drumroll please....
The Mummy Returns
It seemed as if every other scene was ripped from another movie. And not done well at all. There is such a thing as homage and then there is rip-off.
Mummy Rip-off...er..Returns

It's not like RAIDERS was an original idea. The JONES series is full of scenes inspired by the old movie serials. Too many to mention, really. Of course it's not like that's any secret and Speilberg and Lucas were up front about this.

In X2 the scene where Jean Grey and Wolverine have the "Women flirt with the dangerous guys and marry the nice ones" is reminicient of Empire Strikes Back, right down to it happening during the repair of the ship.

Anyway, the cave's the thing, not the speech. Maria preaches unity between the 2 classes, Morpheus speaks of . . . something I've already forgotten. And that fellow on the mount, well his ideas are just silly.
