So, I missed some

A gfted long distance runner dies tragically young, but not before, with the help of a waffle iron, his coach starts a small company with a familiar logo:
Pre released January 24, 1997 (Jared Leto, R. Lee Emery)
Without Limits released September 11, 1998 (Billy Crudup, Donald Sutherland; written & directed by Robert Towne, filmed by Conrad Hall, and, fyi, the second film produced by Tom Cruise & Paula Wagner)

The tale of, you'll never believe this, Wyatt Earp and his brothers, his friend, Doc Holliday, and the gunfight at OK Corral in Tombstone, AZ:
Tombstone released December 25 1993 (Kurt Russell, a phenomenal Val Kilmer, Sam Elliott, Powers Boothe, Dana Delany, Bill Paxton, Paula Malcomson... both Powers Boothe and Paula Malcomson were in Deadwood)
Wyatt Earp released June 24, 1994 (Kevin Costner, a very, very skinny Dennis Quaid, Gene Hackman; this is Larry Kasdan's version)

And, deserving almost of a post all by themselves, think about this (okay, not exactly the same concept, but still...):

A thief who, wait, have you heard this before? steals from the rich and gives to the poor. No, really.
