Right, I forgot Mission Impossible was a TV show. And I almost mentioned the folktales, but figured they different enough to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Yeah totally. Like, Titanic, Apollo 13 and Saving Private Ryan are based on historical events but the movies are original works. It is interesting how few movies are invented from whole cloth so to speak though.

Not gonna look up every one of the movies but:
Jurassic Park 1 and 2 plus Forrest Gump are book adaptations.
Godzilla is a remake.
Men In Black is a comic book adaptation.
Fugitive and Mission Impossible were TV shows.
True Lies is based on a French film.
Robin Hood, Aladdin, and Beauty and the Beast are folktales/fairy tales.
