With many great films releasing during the ’80s, some of them have gone on to withstand the test of time, getting any number of sequels or reboots or the like. Though not every film was super successful, knowing a film is still popular 30 or so years after it came out is an astounding accomplishment that many filmmakers should be proud of. For some, the ’80s also have an incredibly strong sense of nostalgia....
From the creators of The Toys that Made Us comes the Netflix behind-the-scenes documentary series about classical movies in The Movies that Made Us. For its first four episodes, the documentary series covered the origins, the production, the release, and the eventual legacy of the 80s (or 90s) films Dirty Dancing, Ghostbusters, Home Alone, and Die Hard. With anticipating the other episodes to be released, it is ideal to consider the other iconic and classical movies that the series should cover....

John Carpenter’s Halloween was a film that helped shape the slasher genre as we know it. The movie didn’t need a supernatural entity, a curse, or even a monster from another planet to make it scary. It got its scares with a relatively normal man, a knife, and a white mask. Though Michael Myers is still a favorite horror villain to thousands of fans, ourselves included, he’s not exactly top of the game anymore....
HBO’s first Watchmen trailer reveals much less than it masks, quite literally: it begins with a character in a Rorschach mask saying, “We are no one, we are everyone, we are invisible.” Even after this teaser, we still don’t know a lot about what’s happening in the new series created by Damon Lindelof. From what little we see, alongside the promised soundtrack courtesy of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross and HBO’s desire for the series to replace Game of Thrones in the ratings department, we can tell that dark times are ahead in this serial adaptation of the DC comic....
We all know the famous theme song from the hit sitcom, Two and a Half Men. After twelve seasons of listening to this catchy jingle, we thought we’d throw it back and make a list about all the things you probably didn’t know about this popular tune.

Trailers are a great form of advertising....

When the team at Netflix decided to adapt Nickelodeon’s animated Winx Club for live-action, the show turned out to be surprisingly dark.

In his 80 years defending Gotham City from the criminal underworld, Batman has appeared in many incarnations. Beginning with his more jovial persona in the ’40s comics, and continuing with his more humorous version in the ’60s television series starring Adam West, it wasn’t until the ’80s that Batman took a turn for the dark and gritty. Frank Miller’s Dark Knight Returns created the modern Batman orphan mythos we most closely associate with the Caped Crusader, and Tim Burton’s 1989 film Batman brought it to blockbuster life....
Before the days of special effects and big budgets, horror movie makers had to rely on intricately-planned camera shots, the power of suggestion, and good old-fashioned models to add scares to their films. While some of these early horror and science fiction films are truly terrifying, others fail miserably. The monsters on this list are the most ridiculous and least frightening creatures to make it to the big screen. From mutant leeches and trees to giant gobs of goo, modern-day audiences will find more to laugh at than scream about with these old horror movie behemoths....
Popular movies can make a lot of money during their theatrical run, but studios love the ancillary income that comes from broadcast TV, streaming, merchandise - and soundtracks. Below are 10 movie soundtracks that are far more popular than the movies themselves, including a few where we’ve forgotten there was a movie to begin with. This is not a precise ranking, and we’ve excluded popular movies with killer soundtracks like Forrest Gump, Grease, and Guardians of the Galaxy; and one-hit-wonders for top films like Titanic, Stand by Me, and The Bodyguard, which is the top-selling soundtrack of all time....

Netflix’s The Witcher series released to popular acclaim, but even die-hard fans of the show have to admit there are some pretty confusing aspects to the story. The timeline is a jumbled mess of disparate narratives that only awkwardly come together, and actual character development is few and far between. To say that The Witcher relies on a viewer’s past knowledge of either the original books or game adaptations is an understatement....
