There are few spoof films that are enjoyable as Galaxy Quest. Unafraid to not take itself seriously, it takes everything absurd and fun about classic sci-fi shows such as Star Trek, and turns it into a hilarious adventure.

There aren’t many people in this world who haven’t sampled a Maccies at least once in their life, however, there aren’t many people who know just how the giant fast-food brand became one of the largest business empires in the world.

It took a number of years, but some retrospective thinking has seen one of the biggest bombs at the box office in 1995 be given the respect it deserves as one of the most underrated movies of Sam Raimi’s career.

Another tear-jerker, the slice-of-life anime delves into some seriously heavy subjects such as bullying, suicide, and mental health, while also driving home the importance of forgiveness, love, and friendship.
