A Film Fic is a Fan Fic which is the plot of a film — usually romantic in nature — adapted to star the characters of another fandom. It sounds like a cheat — and when written badly, it is — but it's surprisingly difficult to remain faithful to both the film and the characters, especially in Slash Fic. Done badly, the plot alters the transplanted character's canon personality, leaving them with nothing more than a passing resemblance to their namesake and the plot being nothing more than Serial Numbers Filed Off. The laziest examples become copyright infringing transcripts of the target movie with the names changed.
The most common victims are Disney movies, although DreamWorks Animation, Pixar and sometimes Studio Ghibli are also popular. Even well-written examples of this genre have the unfortunate risk of being removed from FanFiction.Net for copyright infringement, but other fan fiction sites may still host them.
When done badly, it is sometimes referred to as a 'Rip-Fic', as in ripping off somebody else's plot.
A subtrope of the Fusion Fic and the Whole-Plot Reference. Compare Twice-Told Tale.

A fanfic that was essentially Fight Club with Super Mario Bros. characters playing the roles, Mario being the unnamed protagonist and Luigi being Tyler Durden.

The Best Night Ever takes the events of the episode "The Best Night Ever" and turns it into an homage to Groundhog Day, with Prince Blueblood stuck in a time loop much like Phil Connors.

The Fanmake Blooper Series takes a literal look at the film fic genre. A majority of the story is focused on the characters being actors or performers being put in roles and having to perform according to the script, if they aren't derailing it.

I Must Be Going, the fourth installment of the Skyhold Academy Yearbook series, has Varric Tethras reading aloud his version of a mashup of The Princess Bride and Dragon Age: Inquisition. It makes about as much sense as you'd expect.

Dark Studios Kids Next Door has Operation: DREAMS, which is Codename: Kids Next Door mixed with Inception. The basic plot is the same, focusing on an original character (although several canon characters appear, Numbuh 1 included), with a few details changed. For instance, the Mal Analogue (Numbuh 12) is changed from being dead to having joined the Teen Ninjas.

Slasher: Copycat is a variation, as it's a retelling of Scream (1996), but with original characters, a new killer, a true crime theme, and connections to the anthology horror series Slasher.

Tangled In Time crosses the plot of Tangled and The Legend of Zelda with Link as Rapunzel and Ganondorf as Mother Gothel with a few details changed. The Flynn Rider analogue, who is Tetra, doesn't take part until the second half of the story and Ganondorf is not emotionally nor psychologically abusive of Link, part of it due to Becoming the Mask and part of it due to Pragmatic Villainy.

Decks Fall, Everyone Dies by Kalarin adapts the plot of Moulin Rouge! to the Yu-Gi-Oh! world and attempts to blend the original English dub with Yugioh The Abridged Series, all while having parody songs to keep it as a musical. It looks like actual effort may have been put in.

There exists a combination of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and Little Shop of Horrors with Pinkie Pie playing the part of Seymour. It maintains the tone of the former, for the most part, with plots being adapted and altered so that no one has to die, and it incorporates parody lyrics to keep it as a musical.
The Best Night Ever takes the events of the episode "The Best Night Ever" and turns it into an homage to Groundhog Day, with Prince Blueblood stuck in a time loop much like Phil Connors.
Alexstrazsa, one of the prereaders on Equestria Daily is in the middle of writing a version of Iron Man called "The Rise of Iron Mare", featuring Twilight as Tony Stark, although most every character keeps their show personalities.
Strangely, this is Inverted: with My Little Pony: A New Generation wholesale lifting the entire plotline, characters, and world history from Fallout: Equestria.
