I Liked It When I Saw It The First Time, Entries Beginning with I

This page is inspired by the comedy of David Spade. Yes, David Spade. During his stay on Saturday Night Live, he would occasionally put things down that seemed to copy things before them by saying something like "I liked 'Black Sheep' the first time I saw it, when it was called 'Tommy Boy'". So this is my attempt at ranking on the movies and television programs of the nineties (and present) by pointing out what they copied from the eighties. Since there always seems to be a lot or unoriginal ideas in Hollywood, this should be an easy page to fill up quickly.

Both have soundtracks that are popular than the movies themselves. However, I will always love "Xanadu".

Not a movie, but a lost legacy. Bob Irsay still sucks. [Ed.'s note: Even when he's dead?]
I liked "Indy Racing League (IRL)" when it was called United States Auto Club (USAC)
I liked "The Insider" when it was called Entertainment Tonight
Not be confused with the movie with Al Pacino and Russell Crowe, the TV series features Pat O'Brien, ironically a former host of "E.T." and "Access Hollywood".
I liked "Internet" when it was called Bulletin Board System (BBS)
