Drenched in grunge spirit and Gen X nihilism, MTV’s Daria was a touchstone of ’90s pop culture. With inborn cynicism and unfettered sarcasm, high school student Daria Morgendorffer was the ultimate cool nerd, whose stoic disposition we all wished we could emulate. At the time, Daria’s subversiveness looked sounder than sister Quinn’s seemingly frivolous and borderline neurotic self-obsession.

Lauded as one of the greatest movies ever made, Raiders of the Lost Ark introduced the movie-going world to one of its most timeless icons: Indiana Jones. Even though the dream team of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, who had each directed a record-breaker for the highest grossing movie ever made at this point, were behind the production, they struggled to garner any interest from the major Hollywood studios. After a lot of convincing, they managed to get Paramount to fund the project....

As with any novel-to-big screen situation, there are bound to be scenes left on the cutting room floor....

It’s important for movies to have memorable characters.

Quentin Tarantino has always been able to deliver memorable characters. From the Bride to Django to Hans Landa to Marsellus Wallace, there are countless iconic characters across Tarantino’s filmography. And arguably just as important as memorable characters is giving those characters – or at least a couple of them – real relationships with one another....

The late ’90s to early 2000s was a wild time for Nickelodeon live-action comedies. Though not as (in)famous as the Disney Channel Stars, Nickelodeon’s lineup was nothing to sneeze at. Example: Drake & Josh, a show responsible for repeating things for emphasis and possibly launching people to stardom. …Ok, that’s questionable. But that doesn’t erase the fact that some primetime TV stars were barely even guest stars on Drake & Josh....

Though there were a lot of heartbreaking moments from Avengers: Infinity War. One of the most effective was Vision’s death. Not only did Wanda have to kill him to prevent Thanos from getting the last stone, but she then had to watch as Thanos brought him back only to kill him again.

With technological advancement came even more predictions of the future, as well as critiques of the present, and a barrage of sci-fi films tackled both subjects....

Here are Screen Rant’s 10 great movies that never needed a sequel....
