Though we have brilliant Egyptian authors and screenwriters, for some odd reasons, we tend to copy and imitate film ideas from Western movies. To be fair, we are not the blind copying type; we tend to adapt the idea and localize it. Nevertheless, we should always credit the original movies. 

Below are 21 Egyptian movies adapted from Hollywood:
