It&#39;s pretty common for both men and women to temporarily freak out when they hit a certain age. That&#39;s why it&#39;s a good thing that there are so many <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/female-midlife-crisis-movies/ranker-film?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">midlife crisis movies</a>. These films not only shed light onto the reasons why people have these freak outs, they also provide viewers with a sense of understanding. If they&#39;ve been made, then clearly someone else knows what it&#39;s like to&nbsp;hit the mid-point in life and wonder if you&#39;ve met your full potential.

Films about finding yourself come in two varieties. There are the ones that are specifically about having a midlife crisis. City Slickers, Lost in Translation, and 10 are quintessential examples. Others are about something else on the surface, yet have characters going through the whole self-reflection thing. Movies of this sort include Thelma &amp; Louise, Father of the Bride, and Fatal Attraction. In other words, a midlife crisis is what drives the protagonist, even if the plot isn&#39;t entirely about that.

Midlife reinvention movies are often comedies,&nbsp;because if you can&#39;t laugh about these things, you&#39;re doomed to be crushed by them. But there are several that are strictly dramatic. Many of cinema&#39;s greatest directors have tackled the subject, including Federico Fellini, Bernardo Bertolucci, Woody Allen, and Ridley Scott. And in case you think female directors don&#39;t touch the subject, just remember that Nancy Meyers has made two pictures of this nature: It&#39;s Complicated and Something&#39;s Gotta Give.

Vote up the&nbsp;best movies about a midlife crisis from the list below.&nbsp;

Parenting can be scary. Talk to anyone with children and they&#39;ll tell you that the fear of messing up their kids is a prime concern. The <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/scariest-horror-movies-ever-made?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best scary movies</a> about parenting do nothing to placate those worries. Horror films have been mining this subject for decades. It&#39;s easy to see why. Tapping into something pretty much all parents feel is a great way to get audiences nice and creeped out.&nbsp;

Many horror movies about moms and dads have their protagonists protecting children from some form of harm. Who could forget The Exorcist, in which frightened mother Ellen Burstyn&nbsp;asks a priest to remove the demon that has overtaken her daughter? Others are more about a parent struggling with their own feelings regarding&nbsp;their child. The Babadook, for instance, features a mom who blames her son for the untimely passing of her husband, and therefore struggles with ambivalent emotions. And then there are the pictures in which a parent tries to comprehend the eerie&nbsp;or troubling behavior of their offspring. Goodnight Mommy is about as powerful an example of that as you&#39;ll find.&nbsp;

The following list contains all three types. Some of the films have the parenting angle front and center, while in others, it&#39;s one&nbsp;key component in a larger story. Which of them gives you the most severe chills? Which keep you up at night when you think about their themes? Vote up&nbsp;your favorite horror <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-movies-about-parenting/ranker-film?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">movies about parenting</a>.

It&#39;s time to vote for the best hunting movies. Hunting is both a leisure activity and a sport for millions of Americans. Therefore, it is no surprise that movies have incorporated it. <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/list-of-all-comedy-drama-movies/reference?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Drama and comedy</a> are both inherent in the activity. Suspense comes from waiting for the right moment to bag an animal -- and, of course, that waiting can often take hours. Humor&nbsp;occasionally rears its head, too. Just search &quot;wacky hunting videos&quot; on YouTube for proof.

Good movies about hunting animals come in two forms. Some movies are specifically about people seeking to make a particular score. The Ghost and the Darkness, for instance, is about an engineer who teams up with a hunter to take down two lions that&nbsp;are threatening a construction project. Other films begin with hunters or hunting, then thrust their characters into some different&nbsp;scenario. A perfect example of this is <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/deer-hunter-behind-the-scenes-stories/skyler-hanrath?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">The Deer Hunter</a>, in which a group of friends go hunting before a couple of them are shipped off to Vietnam. In both cases, hunting is a vital element, even if one is fundamentally about the activity and the other uses it to reveal something about the characters.

Vote up your favorites from this hunting movies list. Feel free to add any titles that are missing, and don&#39;t forget to check back later on to see how your picks are faring.&nbsp;

It would be impossible to underestimate the impact author H.P. Lovecraft has had on movies. His stories have been inspiring feature films for decades, and they continue to do so. The tales of horror&nbsp;he wrote were so vivid and so horrific that they have had an indelible impact not only on other writers&nbsp;but on motion picture directors, as well.

Some movies based on Lovecraft short stories include beloved horror classics, such as Re-Animator and From Beyond, both of which were directed by mega-fan Stuart Gordon. Other Lovecraft inspired movies don&#39;t have their origin in any particular story he wrote&nbsp;but from the overall tone and style of his work. John Carpenter&#39;s The Thing, for example, is technically a remake of 1951&#39;s The Thing from Another World, although a few of its story elements are clearly drawn from Lovecraft&#39;s&nbsp;1931 tale At the Mountains of Madness.&nbsp;Plenty of other H.P. Lovecraft adaptations of various types exist&nbsp;and we have them listed below,&nbsp;you might even be surprised to find that there have been several adaptations of &quot;The Colour Out of Space.&quot;&nbsp;This list is also a great resource if you are looking for movies like&nbsp;Color Out of Space (2020).

But which of these Lovecraftian adaptations is the best? You get to help decide with your votes. Vote up the ones you think are the best, and don&#39;t forget to check back later on to see how your selections&nbsp;are faring.

Well, this <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-movies-about-movies/ranker-film?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">list of movies</a> about clones will show you what that&#39;s like. From&nbsp;Multiplicity&nbsp;starring Michael Keaton to&nbsp;The 6th Day&nbsp;with Arnold Schwarzenegger, you can explore the moral and ethical implications of cloning yourself. There are&nbsp;more clone movies than just the ones just about cloning people or humans.&nbsp;Jurassic Park&nbsp;definitely has to make the list since they are cloning dinosaurs. But we also can&#39;t&nbsp;forget&nbsp;Godsend,&nbsp;where Greg Kinnear and&nbsp;Rebecca Romijn are offered the chance to clone their deceased son with sinister results. While cloning is no longer science fiction, you&#39;ll find that most of these films fall under the sci-fi genre.

The best movies about cloning put forth several reasons as to why clones exist.&nbsp;In&nbsp;The Island,&nbsp;humans are cloned for their organs while in&nbsp;Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones,&nbsp;they need to quickly build an army. With all that being said, let&#39;s get right down to it and determine the best movies about clones. Vote up your favorite films that feature clones and vote down any you wouldn&#39;t want to watch again.

If you&#39;re a fan of scary movies, this is your opportunity to vote for the best final <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/15-sexiest-monsters-in-horror-movie-history/pt_tesla?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">girls in horror movies</a>. A &quot;final girl&quot; is a female character who manages to survive the wrath of the killer -&nbsp;human or otherwise -&nbsp;when most, if not&nbsp;all, of the other characters have been&nbsp;wiped out. Although the term originated in the 1990s, final girls were around for decades before that, such as Laurie Strode in 1978&#39;s Halloween,&nbsp;Sally Hardesty in 1974&#39;s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and Lila Crane in 1960&#39;s Psycho.&nbsp;

Horror movie survivors of this type are most commonly found in slasher flicks. The Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Halloween franchises commonly make use of the final girls trope.&nbsp;Traditionally, these characters tend&nbsp;to be the purest and most&nbsp;virtuous of the group or cast of characters. That&#39;s because, for reasons known only to the filmmakers themselves, the abundance of&nbsp;&#39;<a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-80s-slasher-movies/ranker-film?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">80s slasher movies</a>&nbsp;usually had&nbsp;the villain&nbsp;target teens who were amorous with each other. Friday the 13th,&nbsp;in particular, was notorious for that.&nbsp;

The threats final girls face are not always psychos wielding knives, machetes, or hooks. They can survive interstellar creatures, as Ellen Ripley does in Alien.&nbsp;What counts is that the final girl gets through the ordeal, leaving her to tell the tale of what happened.

Who are the best screenwriters of all time? That&#39;s a question you get to answer. Without great screenwriters, there wouldn&#39;t be great movies. They&#39;re the ones who not only write the dialogue&nbsp;but also devise the story and structure the plot so that it has maximum impact for the audience. It has often been said that writers get the least amount of glory when a film becomes a hit, even the most famous screenwriters. That may or may not be true. What&#39;s certain is that the best screenwriters become recognizable &quot;names&quot; to the public. Diablo Cody, Charlie Kaufman, and William Goldman&nbsp;are just three examples of writers who are widely known for their work.

The following list contains screenwriters from every era. Writers from the earliest days of cinema share space with writers who are in the prime of their careers today. We&#39;ve also included writers from every genre.&nbsp;Horror&nbsp;and sci fi screenwriters are right next to those who write comedy and drama. Many&nbsp;of the individuals here are writers only. Others -- like Quentin Tarantino, Judd Apatow, Nora Ephron and Orson Welles -- also directed some or all of the films they wrote.&nbsp;

Vote up your top choices for the best screenwriters in Hollywood, regardless of when they worked or what genre they are most noted for.

Trick or treat movie scenes come in a variety of styles. Obviously, horror movies have long capitalized on Halloween and its potential for scariness. Other genres have made use of the tradition, too. Comedies have played trick-or-treating for laughs,&nbsp;dramas have used it to advance characterization, and science-fiction films have utilized it to contrast life on Earth with aliens and their technology.&nbsp;

The best Halloween scenes in movies are not gratuitous. They add something of value to the story or help us see their heroes -- and&nbsp;sometimes their villains -- in an important way. A number of these moments have become classics. Who doesn&#39;t remember the titular alien gazing at trick-or-treaters in wonder in E.T.? Or Boo Radley saving Jem and Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird? There&#39;s real power in these sequences. Others are gems from smaller, lesser-seen films.&nbsp;American Splendor,&nbsp;for example, uses trick-or-treating as a way to help show how <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movie-protagonists-who-arent-the-main-character/zack-howe?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the main character</a> proudly marches to the beat of his own drummer.&nbsp;

The <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-horror-films-ever-made?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best horror movies</a> with weddings couple supernatural terror with the anxiety of prepping for the big day. Most of them have to do with discovering the secrets of the spouse&#39;s family or dark traditions that manifest themselves in a violent or demonic fashion. From slasher flicks, psychological thrillers, to demonic possessions all of these horror weddings have one thing in common, they are terrifying. Some scary movie weddings are more traditional than others and feature a killer bride, psycho groom, cursed engagement rings, dark family histories, or sadistic traditions.

Ever see pictures of actors before the CGI was added in a movie? They are often hilarious and ridiculous looking, which is why we&#39;ve compiled this compilation for you. <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-movies-about-magic/ranker-film?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Movies are magic</a>. Plain and simple. Once a movie is completed the final product is the result of the blood, sweat, and tears of hundreds or thousands of people working countless hours. It&#39;s been fine-tuned, tweaked, and perfected (more or less) before we ever see a frame of film. That is, unless we see a frame before it&#39;s ready. And that&#39;s when these amazing behind the scenes&nbsp;moments come in.

These days, it&#39;s not uncommon for actors to be heavily modified with <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/computer-generated-imagery-companies/reference?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">computer generated imagery</a> (CGI) or replaced altogether. When an actor, stunt person, or a stand-in wears those special form-fitting suits you&#39;ll see throughout this list, it allows the visual effects artists to monitor their movements and transform them into a giant gorillas, talking trees, or fire-breathing dragons, and so on. Digital effects technology advances exponentially every year, but those spandex suits covered in sensors still look really silly.

This list compiles those amazing moments before real people are replaced by digital effects, when they&#39;re still just a silly humans acting like a trash talking raccoons or vicious velociraptors. Which, it should be noted, isn&#39;t easy. These performers are doing a tough job, but they sometimes look hilarious doing it. That&#39;s why we put together a behind the scenes slideshow of people who will be replaced by CGI through movie magic. Vote up the funniest pictures below!

Superheroes

List of <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-most-ridiculous-superheroes-ever?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the worst superhero</a> performances on film. Here are the ranked actors and characters that made the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/worst-superhero-movies/ranker-film?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">worst superhero movies</a> ever possible with such epic(ally) bad performances. After all, Catwoman was only made a Razzie Award-winner by Oscar Award-winner Halle Berry. And for whatever people once feared of Ben Affleck&#39;s Batman portrayal, it was always going to be hard to beat (in badness) George Clooney&#39;s performance in Batman &amp; Robin. Granted, it was also&nbsp;hard to beat his own badness in Daredevil.

Just because these celebrities were bad in their respective <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/worst-superhero-casting/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">superhero roles</a>, it does not render the film terrible nor does it render the actor terrible. Samuel L. Jackson nails it in Pulp Fiction, but can we really say the same about his acting in The Spirit? Seth Rogen disappointed everyone with his Green Hornet remake, but his fellow comic Ben Stiller wasn&#39;t exactly beloved in his Mystery Men role as Mr. Furious.

But are they really that scary, or is it all just movie magic? This gallery features photos of film villains behind the scenes, while filming, in half costume, and even being controlled by puppeteers. Seeing these creepy villains out of context makes them seem just plain silly! They're just actors goofing around, after all!While not all the characters on the list are from horror movies, they are most certainly <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-movies-where-the-bad-guy-wins/ranker-film?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the bad guys</a> – at some point. But against a green screen or in the makeup chair, turns out they're all just normal people working hard to make a buck (or animatronics, or just dogs). Not so terrifying now, are they?&nbsp;
