Given that:

1. Some of those 37 situations are more interesting than others

2. You need more than one of them for a good screenplay

3. Some situations do not mix well in one story

You will come to conlusion that there is limited number of possible stories.

Now, Hollywood has been producing dozens of movies every year for over a century it becomes clear that it is slowly running out of stories to tell. That's why you see so many remakes/sequels: Star Wars, Rambo, Die Hard, etc. Or remakes with a twist: let's make main characters black/women/gay/trans and pretend that we created a brand new, original story.

Hollywood is eating its own tail.
