The original movie introduced the world to Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) and the time-traveling DeLorean that took him back to 1955 where he and Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) had to save Marty's future. The massive success led to two sequels before the story of Marty McFly and Doc Brown seemingly came to a satisfying end. Of course, nothing in Hollywood is over forever and there have been rumors of Back to the Future 4 news ever since.

After its debut episode stirred up waves in the anime community, the series went on to become a fan-favorite. Though Goblin Slayer's controversial opening can be very uncomfortable to watch, its return is highly anticipated. Goblin Slayer began in 2016 as a light novel series, written by Kumo Kagyu with art from Noboru Kannatsuki.

The innovative minds of famous horror directors like Ari Aster and Frank Darabont create horror movies for audiences all year round, making this genre perfect for any day of the week. With most creepy films set in dark environments, there are a few exceptions that take place in summer camps, beach towns, and the bright wilderness.

Abrams production, there are a ton of unresolved mysteries in the Cloverfield movies, both in their own storylines and in their connections to one another. The Cloverfield franchise is essentially an anthology series for the big screen. It kicked off with Cloverfield in 2008 and continued with the psychological thriller 10 Cloverfield Lane in 2016 and the gonzo sci-fi horror movie The Cloverfield Paradox in 2018. The movies never cover the same characters, or even the same otherworldly threat, but they’re all set in the same monster-infested universe – and the mythology of that universe is bafflingly inconsistent.

For decades, fans were outraged by the sudden killing off of Boba Fett. This bounty hunter became an instant fan-favorite for his cool design and sly demeanor in the very few scenes he appeared in throughout the original Star Wars trilogy. However, the execution of his demise irked fans for not just disposing of a character with potential but how anticlimactic and played for laughs it was when a blind Han Solo smacked his jetpack by mistake and launched him into the Sarlacc Pit. It was a death that felt unearned. While this choice would eventually be rectified in the Expanded Universe and later Disney+ series like The Mandalorian, this one moment in Return of the Jedi left a stain on the character for generations. However, 40 years later, it's been unveiled that it was Boba Fett's fault from the beginning that he was "killed" so easily.
