But have you watched the 1998 Blade Runner sequel?The movie Soldier, from director Paul W. S. Anderson and Blade Runner co-writer David Peoples, was envisioned as a "side-sequel" to Scott's movie. The adventures of Kurt Russell's Sgt. Todd were meant to exist in the same fictional universe, and the movie supposedly explored the lives of replicant soldiers in the off-world colonies. The result of that plan is a &nbsp;a bizarre sci-fi movie that could only come from a truly misguided notion.&nbsp;

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.

It's a Wonderful Life (1946)

Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life is one of the most beloved Christmas films of all time. It's a holiday staple, running constantly on TV or streaming every year. Over the years, though, the rough edges seem to get sanded off in people's memories (there might be a little egg nog-induced amnesia going on, too), and we're left with “Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings” and “Auld Lang Syne” and joy and community.All of that is great, but it works to hide the dark secret at the heart of It's a Wonderful Life: This is a horror movie. Seriously. Think about it. It's all about a man who gives up on all of his dreams to support the people around him, is left with nothing but despair and poverty as a result of those decisions, and ultimately tries to jump off a bridge. The women are treated horribly, nothing actually gets better at the end, and the bad guy wins. It's a nightmare scenario.For more details on how It's a Wonderful Life somehow flew under the radar all this time, check out the article below.
