Charges of Plagiarism
Card has claimed that many elements of M. Night Shyamalan's The Sixth Sense were copied from Lost Boys, although he realized that enough had been changed that there was no point in suing.
The 2007 Spanish movie The Orphanage also has a very similar plot.

Famous quotes containing the words charges and/or plagiarism:
“I have never injured anybody with a mordant poem; my
verse contains charges against nobody. Ingenuous, I have
shunned wit steeped in venom—not a letter of mine is dipped
in poisonous jest.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
“Ideas improve. The meaning of words participates in the improvement. Plagiarism is necessary. Progress implies it. It embraces an author’s phrase, makes use of his expressions, erases a false idea, and replaces it with the right idea.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)
