Some Christmas films have, for one reason or another, become true classics of the season. Think, for example, of older films like&nbsp;It’s a Wonderful Life&nbsp;or even ones of relatively newer vintage like&nbsp;A Christmas Story.&nbsp;Indeed, in some ways it’s the films that have remained underappreciated which often provide new ways of appreciating the holiday.Some, to be sure, are a little&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/naughty-christmas-movies/zach-seemayer">on the naughty side,</a> while others are bleaker than one might expect from a film celebrating what is supposed to be the happiest (and most wonderful) time of the year. All of them, however, deserve a greater consideration from those who love everything to do with Christmas.

Movies develop&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movies-that-arent-what-you-think/lily-mcelveen">misleading reputations</a>&nbsp;through various means, such as marketing and word of mouth. As a result, there are many movies that people might assume are trashy, but are in fact way more sophisticated than they realize. Maybe there’s an infamous orgy scene that colors everyone’s memory of the film or a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/hated-movie-tropes/ranker">genre trope</a>&nbsp;that leads you to believe a particular movie will be exactly like the low-brow movies that inspired it.In the case of movies such as Bernardo Bertolucci’s&nbsp;Last Tango in Paris&nbsp;or Nicolas Roeg’s&nbsp;Bad Timing, however, the ongoing&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/controversial-movies/anncasano">controversies surrounding their content</a>&nbsp;are appropriate. Both films contain upsetting scenes that are possibly unwatchable for some. But rather than being easily dismissed as trashy, they are the work of revered auteurs who were intentionally inflicting discomfort on their audiences for reasons that go beyond mere provocation.

Making a movie is difficult even in the best circumstances, but some films&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movies-that-almost-didn-t-get-made/anncasano">require extra dedication</a>&nbsp;from their creators. Copyright laws, permits from local officials, government censorship, and the whims of producers can all stand in the way of a filmmaker creating the movie they envisioned, but&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/problems-that-made-movies-better/alex-kirschenbaum">some refuse</a>&nbsp;to let these obstacles stop them. From sneaking into DisneyWorld to film a dark comedy about a conspiracy behind Disney itself to taking out a full-page ad in the newspaper to publicly shame a studio into releasing their movie, these filmmakers went to brazen lengths to get their projects onto the big screen. In some instances, they&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/films-accused-of-copyright-infringement/matthewcoleweiss">broke copyright rules</a>&nbsp;to use footage that was essential to their visions. In others, they went undercover to gain unprecedented access to their unsuspecting subjects. Some of these movies led to decades of lawsuits, while others managed to get away with their illicit behavior by posing clever legal arguments or escaping the jurisdiction altogether.&nbsp;Whether it’s breaking the law or going undercover with criminals, these movies prove that having a great idea and a budget to match is no guarantee that the filmmaking process will be smooth (or legal). Vote up the behind-the-scenes shenanigans that were all worth it in the end.&nbsp;

Movies That Only Exist Because Of Brazen Acts Of Subterfuge

Look: There are hundred of thousands of movies out there for you to watch. All we're saying is that these are the ones you should put at the top of your list.

Greatest and Favorite Movies

Hollywood loves a good underdog story, especially when it comes to sports. We've seen them in boxing (Rocky), ice hockey (Miracle), football (Rudy), basketball (Hoosiers), baseball (The Bad News Bears), and even bobsledding (Cool Runnings). Those are just a few examples. There are many, many more. These films get audiences rooting for the little guys, and cheering on those occasions where they win.Not all underdog movies are about sports, though. Some of the greatest ever made have been about other subjects, ranging from lawsuits, to historical battles, to efforts to unionize a group of factory workers. The following films tell stories about underdogs in these and other situations. They may not be about sports, but they do a fine job of putting viewers on the edge of their seats, hoping that the underdogs will triumph. Some do, some don't. All of them nevertheless take on a massive challenge that initially seems impossible.&nbsp;

Great Adaptations

Total Nerd

Adaptations of any sort are risky. Whether going from book to film, or stage, or television, intellectual property does not always translate well from one medium to another. At best, adaptations manage to improve upon flawed source material; at worst, they can upset fans of the original, or just feel pointless, as has often been the case when adapting films into television shows. Though it can be a challenge when&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-movies-based-on-tv-shows/ranker-film">adapting the other way</a>, from small screen to large, the film-to-TV pipeline has a poor track record.&nbsp;Occasionally, lightning strikes twice, and a great film becomes&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-tv-shows-based-on-movies/ranker-tv">a great TV show</a> that can hold up to comparisons to the original&nbsp;and stand as a great show in its own right. Here are the best examples of that double-achievement.

Looking closer at some of the best, most realistic, most brutal depictions of war in the history of entertainment.

Wars on Screen

War Movies

War movies are both popular and common, but they tend to deal with the same small batch of wars. World War I, World War II, the Civil War, Vietnam, and the Iran/Afghanistan conflicts have all been the basis for numerous films. Many of those films have been great, a few even earning recognition as all-time classics. These wars are frequent cinematic fare because people are familiar with them, so there's a natural interest level.Of course, there have been many, many other wars over the centuries. Although historically important, the average person doesn't know as much about them as, say, WWII. The following movies are all about wars you've likely heard of, yet probably couldn't explain in much detail if asked. And that's okay - history is vast! How integral the war is to the stories can vary, as does the degree of historical accuracy. Nevertheless, each of them puts a lesser-known war into the spotlight for a few hours.

The floor piano at FAO Schwartz that Tom Hanks and Robert Loggia play a duet on in Big. The various <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-non-chocolate-candies?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">types of candy</a> produced by the eccentric Willy Wonka in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The café run by a pair of two best friends (and possibly lovers) in the small town of Whistle Stop, AL in Fried Green Tomatoes. These are just some of the memorable products and places that have played a huge role in films, television shows, and books over the years. Many places or products may not have existed at the time that an author wrote his novel or the movie was released, but they impact the reader or viewing audience so much that they become part of pop culture.And on occasion, that product or place is seen to have possibilities beyond just being part of a book, television show, or movie and is turned into real products or businesses such as the Swingline red stapler and the series of best-selling mystery novels allegedly written by the title character from the ABC series Castle.But how did a chain of hotels get named after the fictional inn from a 1940s Bing Crosby-Fred Astaire musical, or did Nike come up with a pair of self-lacing shoes based on the ones worn by Marty McFly? And which ones turned out to be good ideas for a real business or product?

Hollywood hates&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movies-that-deserved-to-get-sequels/tyler-mitchell">standalone movies</a>. If a film does well, it wants unlimited franchise&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/long-awaited-sequels-that-were-worth-the-wait/jtdesaulnier">sequels</a> and cinematic universes. There was a phenomenon prevalent among 1980s action films, though: The sequels would have nothing to do with the main character or be a continuation of the story.&nbsp;In fact, these movies recycled the original story with new characters - at a lower budget - in an effort to trick the audience into watching the sequels based on name recognition alone.&nbsp;American Ninja 3: Blood Hunt&nbsp;is a prime example of this deceit because any film without Joe Armstrong is not American Ninja.Well, the big studios took notice of this approach and decided to try something similar with their movies and franchise sequels. Let's take a look at the sequels that could have easily been their own films since they had little to nothing to do with the original movies.

Underrated

A debut film is a big deal in any actor's career. The chance to be seen onscreen, even if only for a minute or two, can be enough to get career momentum rolling. Many performers <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/great-actors-who-started-in-bad-movies/saim-cheeda">struggle for years</a> before getting that kind of break, so they're usually determined to make the most of it once it comes. Famed acting teacher Konstantin Stanislavski said, “There are no small roles, only small actors.” He meant that a good actor can do something interesting with a role of any size.The following A-list stars exemplify that idea with their debut films. Some of them lucked into leading roles, others have significant supporting parts. All of them used the opportunity as a launching pad to something else. Aside from featuring future stars, the movies below are underrated and deserving of bigger audiences. The next time you're looking for an evening of at-home entertainment, give one of these titles a spin.&nbsp;

Sequels

Typically, a movie ends conclusively, though it's not uncommon to leave a little something for a potential sequel. That way, an entire story is told while keeping the door open for a revisit. When a sequel finally does come around, there are plenty of callbacks, references, and Easter eggs to please the fans - and sometimes, things get truly, madly, and deeply personal.You've likely heard or even said the phrase, “And this time, it's personal!” When it comes to movie sequels, that phrase is only true of a handful of examples. Consider Ellen Ripley's immense dislike of the Xenomorphs in every encounter or Sarah Connor's desire to take the fight to the Terminator – sometimes, vengeance truly is personal!These are <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-movie-sequels/ranker-film?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best movie sequels</a> where, far from just a tagline, it really was personal.

Biographical movies are released all the time. Few things are as compelling as a true story dramatized with flair. Plenty of actors have won Oscars for playing real people in these films, too. Jamie Foxx got one for playing Ray Charles in Ray, Meryl Streep got one for playing Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady, and so on.More rare, but infinitely more fascinating, is when people play themselves in autobiographical movies. Audiences get an added level of authenticity in these cases. Of course, there are all kinds of pitfalls involved in making this happen. If the film isn't well-made, for example, it can come off as nothing more than a vanity project. Conversely, when a celebrity with a distinct personality or specific talent brings their own life events to the screen, believing in the story becomes easier.The following famous people all played themselves in movies that were either true stories or very thinly veiled versions of their lives. Who did it best? Vote up your picks.&nbsp;

High Octane Action Thrillers

The whole appeal of an action movie is, well, the action. While other elements can elevate an action movie, fans will often be satisfied as long as they are engaged by what they are seeing the entire time. This means that some action movies decide to crank the dial up to 11 in terms of having no chill, just to ensure they aren’t losing the attention of their adrenaline-seeking audiences.Just because a movie is mostly action doesn’t mean it’s bad. Sometimes fans would&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/action-movies-better-than-oscar-winners/nate-fisher">rather see action than Oscar-worthy drama</a>.

Cannibalism is one of the oldest and strongest cultural taboos we possess - and as such, it has been a ripe subject for storytelling and filmmaking for as long as stories have been told and films have been made. The cannibalism subgenre has given rise to plenty of classic films and long-running franchises, from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre to the debonair cannibal antagonist of The Silence of the Lambs, Dr. Hannibal Lecter, and everything in between. The cannibal clan of The Hills Have Eyes, possibly inspired by the real-life stories of Sawney Bean, have been the basis of two separate franchises, while the hillbilly cannibals of Wrong Turn have kept their franchise going strong for a half-dozen films or more. Italian filmmakers have turned this particular subgenre into a cottage industry, with flicks like Cannibal Holocaust so notorious that they need no introduction.Alongside these well-known classics, however, there are plenty of other movies about cannibalism that are less famous but no less deserving of attention. Vote up the human-eating films that you think are worthy of a second course.
