It takes a lot of elements to make a successful movie, and finding actors with good chemistry is one of the toughest elements. When people do well on screen together, it's only natural to try and recreate the magic in another project. When directors call upon several cast members from a successful project, as well as mimicking a similar tone or style without a directly connected plot, this is known as a “spiritual sequel.”Films that fall in the spiritual sequel category are often inspired by or <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/underrated-twin-films/sergio-pereira">similar to something that came before</a>. This typically means some or all of the cast reunites to make a new project, but the film they produce <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/underrated-sequels-to-classic-movies/mike-mcgranaghan">isn't a sequel</a> in the traditional sense, but more like an homage or nod to the original that stands on its own merit.Hollywood has churned out tons of spiritual sequels over the years, but not all of them are worth mention - take a look at some of the most beloved ones below.

<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movie-plot-twist-year-born/mike-mcgranaghan">Plot twists</a> tend to pop up in action movies as much as any other genre. A classic pulse-pounding action twist might reveal an unsuspecting victim to be a villain, or the goal the hero has been fighting for isn't what it appears to be. Well-timed surprises that make viewers reevaluate the entire plot thus far can stand out just as much as a big-budget battle or a spectacular stunt.&nbsp;Despite the assumption that action movies can have simple or formulaic plots, they pull out <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/underrated-plot-twists-in-romantic-comedies/thomas-west">shocking reveals</a> very often.

It seems like Avengers: Endgame came out a short time ago, but it's been years since the film wowed audiences worldwide. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-mcu-movies/ranker-film">The MCU</a> moved on with Phase IV, most playing out on Disney+ and in a handful of feature films. Like any project in the MCU, tons of weapons, props, wardrobe details, and Easter eggs are strewn throughout each of them.Most viewers miss a few of these the first time they watch a movie or TV series.

Villains

Since romance is such a cinematic staple, a great way for filmmakers to subvert expectations is by creating a story where the hero finds out the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-villain-power-couples-in-movies/orrin-grey">person they love</a> is the villain. Perhaps these romantic interests developed into villains over time, or, even more cruelly, they may have been lying to the hero since the very beginning of the relationship. Whatever the case, it's often a significant blow to the protagonist to learn that their loved ones are working against them.This list features some of the best moments where a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/villains-motivated-by-love/julian-hoffman">villain reveals</a> themselves to their beloved, often shocking them to their core.

Dune (2021)

Denis Villeneuve's 2021 adaptation of <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/dune-casting-2020/erin-maxwell">Frank Herbert's Dune</a> is arguably one of the best attempts at transforming the complex sci-fi world of Arrakis to life on the silver screen. The first film in the two-part cinematic event covers many aspects of the novel well, but not everything came off the page and onto the screen.That's not necessarily a bad thing, as it's pretty much impossible to adapt every detail from a long novel into a well-paced and engaging movie. In the case of Dune, the choices of what to include were smart, and only the franchise's most ardent fans picked up on the missing details.This list highlights those critical details that Villeneuve either left on the cutting room floor, didn't adapt at all, or adapted only minimally.

Revisiting Childhood Favorites

Typically, cartoon characters are cute and cuddly, but every once in a while, an animator will introduce a character whose backstory is so tragic that you can&#39;t help but feel bad for them. In those rare cases, the character&#39;s origin story is usually forgotten. How many people can recall exactly how Smurfette joined the Smurfs or how Huey, Dewey, and Louie came to live with their Uncle Donald?

We forget these stories specifically&nbsp;because they remind us that the world is a dark, dangerous place, which isn&#39;t generally why people watch cartoons. Both kids&nbsp;and adults&nbsp;tune in to watch animated series for their colorful imagery, captivating stories, and relatable characters, not for harrowing tales of survival and hardship. Despite that fact,&nbsp;examples of the latter do exist, and these are the darkest of the bunch.

It's no secret that actors need to get in really good shape before action films so they look good on camera, and some actors are <a href="/list/actors-who-always-take-off-their-shirt/zach-seemayer">constantly doing shirtless scenes</a> to show off their bodies. But in the past couple decades, particularly with superhero films on the rise, Hollywood has gotten far more demanding about what an actor has to look like with their shirt off. It's no longer simply a matter of "getting in good shape" - actors now have to do vigorous (and sometimes dangerous) workouts for nine-month periods leading up to certain roles, follow ultra-strict nutritional guidelines, and partake a series of bizarre (and sometimes quasi-legal) tricks right before shirtless scenes just so the movie can capture the hyper-jacked, mega-chiseled look that studios now demand.Here are some of the bigger action stars in movies today talking about the ridiculous regimens they have to go through every time they need to film a shirtless scene.

Pirates of the Caribbean Franchise

You have to give Disney a lot of credit when it comes to the&nbsp;Pirates of the Caribbean&nbsp;movies. When the first one was released, few people thought it would do well. After all, it was based on a ride in the Disney parks, and that made it something of a brand new IP almost nobody could relate to. Add to that the fact that the last big pirate-themed movie (Cutthroat Island) was so bad, it tanked its production studio, and it seemed like a massive gamble.

Of course, it&#39;s been nearly 20 years since&nbsp;Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl&nbsp;was released, and Disney&#39;s been raking in the cash. There have been four sequels with another in development, and there&#39;s even going to be a spin-off, which will likely get its own franchise. Disney is in the pirate business, and business has been good.

With so many movies released in the franchise, there are tons of clever little details&nbsp;hidden throughout. Some fans have picked up on a lot of these, and they have taken to the <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/MovieDetails/" target="_blank">MovieDetails</a> subreddit to share what they&#39;ve found.
