Since the days of cinema classics like Ben-Hur, fantasy movies have set the benchmark for quality, high-budget entertainment, as can be seen in iconic franchises like The Lord of the Rings. From focusing on heroes embarking on epic quests to reimaginings of beloved fairy tales, the 1990s gave audiences some of the most enjoyable entries in the genre, though with an emphasis on smaller budgets, comedy, and animation.

The 1990s saw something of a slump in fantasy cinema, as the '80s had no shortage of campy flops in the genre, but still remains a great decade for family-oriented adventure. From worlds populated by knights and dragons to reboots of classic Universal Monsters, the decade is practically synonymous with adventure. With many of these movies still household names for fantasy fans, it's worth remembering some of the best the '90s had to offer.

The Phantom Revived A 1930s Comic...

The most influential movies today are based on superhero comics. However, before the era of caped and costumed heroes, there was the age of pulp magazines. Popular until the 1950s, these magazines featured a wide range of heroes, from adventurers to noir detectives to horror protagonists. Pulp heroes were, in many ways, the precursors to modern superheroes.

After the success of Tim Burton’s Batman, an influx of pulp-inspired movies emerged in the 1990s. This era appealed to an older generation nostalgic for simpler heroes, while also embracing the stylish aesthetics of the 1930s and 1940s. Pulp-inspired movies were simpler, less flashy, and often cheesier than today’s superhero blockbusters, yet they retained a unique charm.

The Phantom was Arguably the First Superhero

Western movies have long brought audiences a combination of adventure, action and drama through great movies, from classics like Shane to modern hidden gems like Hostiles. However, due to the genre's generally slower pacing than others, it can be difficult for many movies to find a following. Some Westerns, by contrast, offer a faster pacing, better attention to action and memorable characters than others, allowing audiences to enjoy them over and over again.

Westerns have seen some of their best movies gain a strong following through all-star casts and blockbuster-style action, which appeal to fans of genres like action. While some Westerns have grown their appeal by mixing with other genres, like horror and comedy, others were made great through compelling scripts and all-star casts. The genre may not be the powerhouse it once was, but some of cinema's most rewatchable movies come from the Old West.

Quick Links Stand by Me Features a Young & Talented Cast of Up-and-Comers Reiner Remains Faithful to Original Material King Is Left Speechless by Stand by Me Stand by Me Became an Acclaimed Classic

Widely regarded as one of the finest films to come out of the '80s and an influential silver screen triumph, the 1986 coming-of-age drama Stand by Me was directed by Rob Reiner and famously followed four young boys as they set out on a daring adventure in the woods to find the body of a fellow classmate in 1959 Oregon. The Stephen King adaptation notably featured a talented ensemble cast, including River Phoenix, who would go on to dominate Hollywood and skyrocket to stardom before tragically passing away at just 23 years old.

Stand by Me is a beloved drama adored by both fans and King himself, with the bestselling author having a profound reaction to seeing Reiner's exceptional finished product.

Stand By Me is an undeniable 80s classic, and many of its young actors would go on to have impressive careers. Based on the Steven King novella The Body, the film unfolds the dramatic story of four young boys who set out to discover the dead body of a missing boy. Despite its dark premise, Stand By Me is really a touching tale about youth and friendship. Its enduring influence has earned it a 92% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Rob Reiner's coming-of-age story has appealed to each generation with its timeless themes and remains one of the best movies about childhood. Set in 1950s Oregon, the film banked on its adult audience's nostalgia for an era of baseball cards and drive-in movie theaters. Revisiting the film today produces another kind of nostalgia for those who grew up in the era it was released, though. The young cast of Stand By Me...

Jaws (September 1)

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 97%

Jaws is a classic survival thriller film directed by Steven Spielberg from a screenplay co-written by Peter Benchley and Carl Gottlieb. Based on a 1974 novel of the same name by author Peter Benchley, the 1975 film revolves around Sheriff Martin Brody as he teams up with a marine biologist and a local fisherman to hunt down a giant white...

Young Guns 3 is still in the works, Lou Diamond Phillips reveals. Lou Diamond Phillips teases "fantastic" script written by Emilio Estevez. Phillips cites the production company, Morgan Creek, as the main roadblock for the legacy sequel.

Young Guns was essentially The Breakfast Club of Westerns, with style to spare and a sense of humor to match. The titular characters were Emilio Estevez's William H. Bonney Aka Billy the Kid, Kiefer Sutherland's Josiah Gordon "Doc" Scurlock, Charlie Sheen's Dick Brewer, Lou Diamond Phillips' Jose Chavez y Chavez, Dermot Mulroney's Dirty Steve Stephens, and Casey Siemaszko's Charley Bowdre. And, in the age of legacy sequels, it was only so long before another adventure with the regulators was announced, and that's just what happened back in 2021. But news on the project is a well that's run dry since then. At least, until now.

Lou Diamond Phillips was asked about...

Lou Diamond Phillips gives an update to the long-awaited Young Guns 3. He says that while the sequel is stalled, it has a great script.

Its been a while since fans of the classic Western franchise have received an update on the third entry's production. Young Guns 3 was announced by Emelio Estevez in 2021. However, progress on the film seems to have stagnated. Phillips, who is known for playing the outlaw Jos Chvez y Chvez, once again gives fans an update. Phillips recently appeared on Michael Rosenbaum's Inside of You podcast and talked about the state of the film.

Few TV genres have been more influential than the Western, which includes several of the most iconic shows in television history.

When asked if he would return to the Young Guns franchise, Phillips said, Not only would I consider it, I said yes to it.

It’s been thirty-four years since the last Young Guns movie was released, and although the cast seems game to return for Young Guns 3, it hasn’t happened. While speaking on the Inside of You podcast hosted by Michael Rosenbaum, Lou Diamond Phillips dropped a few details about the long-awaited sequel and who is holding it up.

When asked if he would consider doing Young Guns 3, Phillips said, “Not only would I consider it, I said yes to it.” The actor explained that Emilio Estevez had written a “great script” in the last few years and had bumped the timeline forward “to put us at the age we are now.“

Andrew McCarthy is one of the lesser-known members of The Brat Pack, who recently directed the Hulu documentary Brats. McCarthy has starred in iconic Brat Pack favorites, including St. Elmo's Fire and Pretty in Pink. Andrew McCarthy has a number of acting credits in many different genres, making him an underrated member of The Brat Pack.

Andrew McCarthy recently directed the Brats documentary on Hulu, and with that, he proves he's an underrated member of the Brat Pack. Brat Pack explores the effect of the Brat Pack nickname on the young group of actors given it in the 1980s, and the careers of the actors are called into question. In the documentary, McCarthy instigates conversations with his fellow Brat Pack members about how the label affected their careers. Throughout the documentary, it becomes clear that the label affected the actors' perceptions of themselves, with McCarthy exploring his shortcomings in the conversations.

Tom Cruise and Jon Bon Jovi made uncredited, brief cameo appearances in the Young Guns franchise. Young Guns, followed by its sequel, played a crucial role in the revival of the Western genre in the 1990s. A third Young Guns film has been written and prepped, but its future is uncertain; if it happens, it should continue the tradition of hidden cameos.

On the surface, Tom Cruise and Jon Bon Jovi may not appear to have much in common, but they both share a unique Western trait in common. Without a doubt, the 1980s was the worst time for Westerns, thanks to the box-office failure of Heaven's Gate. This 1980 epic cost a staggering (for the time) $44 million to produce, and grossed less than a tenth of that back at the box office. In the aftermath, studios avoided Westerns like the plague, with Clint Eastwood's genre comeback Pale Rider being a rare exception.

Young Guns, a Western film featuring a star-studded cast, includes a blink-and-you'll-miss-it Tom Cruise cameo. Although the movie gained commercial success, it remains relatively lesser-known compared to other Westerns. Tom Cruise's involvement in the film showcases his collaborative spirit and willingness to take on diverse roles, contributing to his enduring success in Hollywood.

Young Guns is known for boasting a roster of renowned actors like Kiefer Sutherland, Emilio Estevez, and Charlie Sheen, but not many know about its surprising Tom Cruise cameo. Based on American outlaw Billy the Kid's adventures during the Lincoln County War, Young Guns unfolds in New Mexico, where a group of young gunmen get embroiled in a game of cat-and-mouse. Upon release, although Young Guns primarily received mixed reviews from viewers and critics, it performed fairly well at the box office by raking in $56 million against a budget of $11 million.

However, despite being commercially successful,...

Young Guns, the iconic Western film, is being released in a new Steelbook edition for its 35th anniversary, including a 4K Uhd version, Blu-ray, and digital copy. Special features of the Steelbook edition include an audio commentary with the actors who played the Regulators, interviews with the cast and crew, and bonus features like Billy the Kid: The True Story. Best Buy is offering its own special edition set with additional bonuses such as artwork, a bullet-riddled wanted poster, and playing cards of the Regulators. Young Guns 3 is still a possibility in the future.

Billy the Kid returns in glorious 4K! It’s been over three decades since the sharp-shooting William H. Bonney (Emilio Estevez) found himself in the employ of the kind-hearted John Tunstall (Terence Stamp) as one of the Regulators in Young Guns (1988). But when John is ruthlessly gunned down in cold blood by Murphy’s (Jack Palance) men,...

Holy Moses! Has it really been 35 years since Young Guns rode with guns ablazing into theaters? You better believe it, pardner, and Lionsgate plan to celebrate the occasion with a timed 35th-anniversary release of the modern Western on a SteelBook in National 4K Ultra HD (+ Blu-ray + Digital), plus a Best Buy exclusive release on December 5th. This is the first time the film will be available in 4K with a brand-new transfer featuring Dolby Vision Hdr. A new Dolby Atmos audio mix and the original 2.0 stereo theatrical mix will be included. This is also the first time the film will be on digital and Blu-ray.

Here’s the official synopsis for Youg Guns via Lionsgate:

The year is 1878, Lincoln County. John Tunstall, a British ranch owner, hires six rebellious boys as “regulators” to protect his ranch against the ruthless Santa Fe Ring. When Tunstall is killed in an ambush, the Regulators,...

Howdy pardners! Today, we’re galloping back to 1988, when Christopher Cain and a band of rootin’ tootin’ outlaws shot up the silver screen for the American Western action film Young Guns. Presented as a retelling of the adventures of Billy the Kid during the Lincoln Couty War, Young Gun features a murderers’ row of talent, including Emilio Estevez, Kiefer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Phillips, Charlie Sheen, Dermot Mulroney, Casey Siemaszko, Terence Stamp, Jack Palance, and Terry O’Quinn.

Cain directs from a script by John Fusco. Young Guns revolves around a group of young gunmen, led by Billy the Kid, who become deputies to avenge the murder of the rancher who became their benefactor. However, when Billy takes their authority too far, they become the hunted.

Historian Paul Hutton once called Young Guns the most historically accurate of all films focusing on the dirty deeds of Billy the Kid as of its year of release.

Lennie's size is downplayed in the Of Mice and Men film, relying more on Malkovich's performance to convey his isolation and loneliness. The Of Mice and Men film focuses on Lennie's intellectual disability rather than his mental illness, forgoing hallucinations like Aunt Clara and the rabbit featured in the book. The character of Curley's wife is portrayed as more sympathetic in the film, making her death appear more tragic and less deserving.

One of the great American classics, Of Mice and Men, was turned into a 1992 feature film starring John Malkovich and Gary Sinese, but there are several Of Mice and Men differences between the film and book. John Steinbeck is one of the greatest American writers to have set pen to paper. His novels shine a light on the realities of the American experience and stands as some of the classics of literature, with books such as The Grapes of Wrath,...

A new episode of the Revisited video series has just been released, and while all of the previous entries have been a look back at feature films, this episode does something a little different. This one is looking back at the three-part mini-series Storm of the Century (pick up a copy Here), which aired on ABC back in February of 1999. To find out all about Storm of the Century, check out the video embedded above.

The mini-series was written by Stephen King, and this wasn’t an adaptation of any of King’s previous works. He wrote this one specifically to be a TV mini-series. Directed by Craig R. Baxley, the mini-series has the following synopsis:

A dangerous blizzard hits an isolated town and brings along a mysterious stranger intent on terrorizing people for his own desires.

Tim Daly, Debrah Farentino, Dyllan Christopher, Colm Feore, Jeffrey DeMunn, Nada Despotovich, Spencer Breslin,...

Favorite director Bill Forsyth lends his knack for droll understatement to a screenplay by John Sayles, a crime tale that opts for keen character study and doesn’t stretch credibility. Burt Reynolds has a gem of a role as a career burglar doing his bit for the next generation, showing a ‘new guy’ the ins and outs of thievery; Casey Siemaszko is his thick-headed but resolutely faithful assistant on several outrageous heists. The criminal life almost doesn’t seem too terrible — except for the going-to-prison part. The disc commentary with Forsyth and Sayles is a great listen.

Young Guns star Lou Diamond Phillips has now confirmed that yes, he has gotten the call for proposed sequel Young Guns 3 and that yes, he is hoping to return. Based on the overwhelmingly positive response to the recent news that a third installment in the Young Guns franchise is in development there is clearly an appetite for more from the mismatched crew, with Phillips hoping that they can work out a way to bring him back.

"I will say that there are a couple of other characters where we're not sure what happened. It'll maybe be one of those 'get the band back together' kind of situation. If they can make it happen, I'll be there."

Hollywood’s latest obsession with the works of prolific author and horror icon Stephen King shows no signs of slowing down, and just like the last time he found his novels and short stories being adapted for the big and small screens on a regular basis, the most recent batch have also been marked with inconsistency.

With so many filmmakers of vastly different styles tackling the material with such wildly fluctuating results, it almost seems hard to believe that stone-cold classics like The Shining and The Shawshank Redemption are based on books written by the same mind behind infamous duds like Dreamcatcher and The Dark Tower.

There are currently eleven movies and nine TV shows in various stages of development based on the 72 year-old’s literary output, and while we might be veering dangerously close to saturation point, it appears that the industry’s latest Stephen King renaissance is set...

Francis Coppola’s get-out-of-debt directorial assignments may not be his most personal movies, but this one is satisfying just the same, with its marvelous, mellow ensemble cast. It’s a movie to admire, as it’s not easy to attract an audience to a show about the Army’s burial detail.

If you couldn't tell by all the listicles and jokes that hit your personal social media feed over the New Year Holiday, we are living in the future.

Along the way, he has a run in with Biff, a Sports Almanac, and a cool pair of self-lacing Nike sneakers. While a lot of things seen in Back to the Future Part II have not yet become a reality, we may finally be getting the much coveted Nike Power Laces this year! No, really!

Fans of Back to the Future Part II have something to look forward to next year.

Of course, the year 2015 is when the beloved sequel was set, making it the perfect time for these power laces to debut. However, it isn't known if Nike is releasing the Mag shoe that they designed for the movie, which were worn by Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox), or if the power laces will be used on other shoes.

A couple of weeks ago, Quentin Tarantino said that he loved working on Django Unchained so much, he wanted his next film to be a western also. This news made my day because I would love to see a resurgence of the western genre. Westerns are not considered one of the top tier genres, but I think that they are one of the most complex and interesting. Conventional rules do not apply to westerns. The protagonist/antagonist line is slightly blurred. That is what makes them more real. Any one of us would like to think that we are good people, but put us in a circumstance where we or someone we love is threatened, and we will fight to the bitter end. That is what the western is all about, the darker, grittier side of humanity. That is what I love about these films.

Just a little disclaimer; I...

On Nov. 22, America and the world mark the 50th anniversary of one of the most momentous events of the 20th century, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

As it did last year with "Killing Lincoln," National Geographic Channel has turned to another best-seller by Fox News' Bill O'Reilly and historian Martin Dugard to dramatize the occasion.

Premiering Sunday, Nov. 10, the docudrama version of "Killing Kennedy" follows the twin trajectories of JFK and Lee Harvey Oswald until they meet on that fateful day in Dallas' Dealey Plaza.

Directed by Nelson McCormick from a script by Kelly Masterson, "Killing Kennedy" stars Rob Lowe as JFK, Ginnifer Goodwin as first lady Jacqueline Kennedy, Will Rothhaar as Lee Harvey Oswald, Michelle Trachtenberg as Marina Oswald, Jack Noseworthy as Bobby Kennedy, Casey Siemaszko as Jack Ruby, Francis Guinan as Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Flood as Kennedy insider Kenneth O'Donnell.

On this bright mid-June day in Richmond,...

We’re coming up to the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, and National Geographic Channel is paying tribute to the late Commander-in-Chief with “Killing Kennedy.”

The new teaser trailer just hit the web, featuring Rob Lowe as JFK and Ginnifer Goodwin as his iconic wife Jackie Kennedy.

Also on the impressive cast are stars like Michelle Trachtenberg, Will Rothhaar, Jack Noseworthy, and Casey Siemaszko.

“Killing Kennedy,” due to hit the airwaves in November, is based on the bestselling novel by Bill O’Reilly and directed by Nelson McCormick.

Check out the trailer below!

Considering it's where most of us (bar the weird home-schooled kids) spend our crucial formative years, where we have our first fights, our first loves, our first tentative steps into adulthood, it's no surprise that high school has long been a popular setting for movies. A range of genres (though generally leaning towards comedy) have taken place in those hallways, particularly from the 1980s onwards, when John Hughes, among others, made an entire career out of the lives and loves of 15-18 year olds.

The latest film to head back to class is "21 Jump Street" (review here) the big-screen reboot of the '80s TV show, which stars Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum as youthful-looking cops who are sent back to high school in order to bust a drug-running ring. While you might assume this to be another lazy remake, you'd be very wrong, as Tatum, Hill, co-writer Michael Bacall,...

We're huge fans of Emilio Estevez, and even bigger fans of his 1988 Western Young Guns and its sequel, Young Guns II. Thus far, the movie has not been put up for a remake or a reboot, but a sequel has long been hoped for by many of its cast members, and those who hold the film in high regard. We recently caught up with Emilio Estevez, who directs and co-stars in this weekend's The Way. We couldn't help but ask the star, who is quite selective nowadays when it comes to taking on a project, about the future of Young Guns. To hear what he had to say, click on the clip below.

We couldn't be bigger fans of the movie Young Guns, specifically the character Dirty Steve. So when we get a chance to chat with actor Dermot Mulroney, we jump on it.

Dermot Mulroney stars in the new comedy The Family Tree, which hits theaters this Friday, August 26th. While chatting with the guy, whom we love, about his role as a father going through a midlife crisis, we couldn't help but go back to Dirty Steve and his past exploits. As it turns out, Dermot Mulroney would love to see the character return in a spin-off called Young Guns: The Ghost of Dirty Steve.

In celebration of its 25th anniversary, Rob Reiner's seminal classic 'Stand by Me' was released on Blu-ray for the first time this week. The movie, set in the 1950s, tells a bittersweet tale of four adolescent friends who go off into the woods in search of a rumored dead body that may or not be a missing young boy they know. They must also find this body before the bullying Ace Merrill (Kiefer Sutherland) and his gang, the Cobras, get to it. What follows is a poignant coming-of-age tale about childhood adventures in the summer and the pain of growing up.

'Stand by Me' was an immediate success, touching a nerve with audiences young and old. To celebrate the film's 25th anniversary, Moviefone spoke with director Rob Reiner and several of the film's stars: Wil Wheaton...

Some subgenres see pretty clear divides run down their middle according to certain criteria. One is the buddy comedy, where depending on the film’s intent to target male or female audiences, there will be a pretty safe difference in the kind of comedy used. Look at Dumb and Dumber and Clueless, each one caters safely to one gender or the other, though both films can arguably be enjoyed by both. Then you have the coming of age drama where this divide persists. Again you have a great parallel between Stand by Me and Now & Then, stories about revisiting a key point in youth. As a guy, I may be somewhat biased, but for my money both Dumb and Dumber and Stand by Me win in their respective categories by miles; Stand by Me however is miles ahead of its counterpart and stands up to the test of time in many ways.

Stand By Me just made its debut on the Blu-ray format on March 22, and you know we have to celebrate this high-def release. We have a new contest running where we're giving away copies of this new Blu-ray disc to our readers. These 1080p discs will surely go fast, so enter this contest today.

To celebrate Lionsgate’s UK release of The Expendables on DVD and Blu-ray on December 13th, we here at Blogomatic3000 thought we’d take a look at our favourite team-ups in movie history…

13) Bubba Ho-Tep

Who else but Phantasm director Don Coscarelli could bring you a tale that sees an elderly Elvis team up with JFK to to battle an evil Egyptian mummy who has chosen their East Texas rest home as his hunting grounds. Based on the award-winning short story by Joe R. Lansdale, Bubba Ho-Tep is a movie that needs to be seen to be believed, and is possibly Bruce Campbell’s greatest performance.

12) Dead Heat

What says team-up more than a cop teaming up with his dead partner to take down zombie criminals? That’s the basic plot of Dead Heat, which follows cops Roger Mortis and Doug Bigelow as they try and solve a case that...

Back to the Future: 25th Anniversary Trilogy Blu-ray will be released on October 26. The Hollywood Reporter has our first look at one of the special features included on this release, which offers, for the first time ever, footage of Eric Stoltz as Marty McFly. Eric Stoltz was originally cast as the lead in Robert Zemeckis' classic time travel adventure-comedy, and he embodied the now-classic role of Marty McFly for five weeks before being replaced by Michael J. Fox. Both producer Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis made this drastic and unheard of decision because they felt the actor had a different comedic approach to the material that was written, and that he didn't have the right comedic timing for this particular character.

Click on the video below for your first ever glimpse at Eric Stoltz's version of Marty McFly, and you can also take a look at the...

American high school films were a dime a dozen at the local video shop back in the day.

John Hughes had the monopoly on the teen angst market, and for those who preferred smut over senior proms, there was always sex comedies like Porky’s and its two sequels. Occasionally though, there were films from this genre which, having slipping through the net theatrically, were ripe for rediscovery amongst the other titles which sat on those red bulky display shelves.

1987’s Three O’Clock High was (and still is) one such example for me, and it also proved to be an interesting departure from the standard high school films of that time, even prompting executive producer Steven Spielberg to take his name off the credits (presumably because he felt it didn’t fit in with his series of Amblin-produced family friendly features).

The Event? Whoop-doo!

The Event? Keep it coming! New series. Airs Monday nights at 9/8 central on NBC. Episode 1.02: Keep Us Safe airs September 27th.

What is The Event? Certain characters know, but the writers of this show aren't telling. Not yet. Though, they claim we'll know soon enough. Apparently it involves a giant ball of blue phlegm that is spit forth from the heavens above. One that is capable of swallowing airliners whole. And Laura Innes, who is spoken to in a manner only befitting an alien presence from space definitely has something to do with it. But who or what is she? Only time will tell in this eager jolt of itchy anticipation.

The Event is a jittery child that doesn't sit down long enough for us to get comfortable with it. It herks and jerks between various months, giving us little snippets of the past; images only complicated by the immediate future.

Strap yourselves in. This fall is going to be busy with new and returning sci-fi shows for your viewing enjoyment! Here’s a breakdown for you to set your DVR by with show descriptions, trailers, and U.S. premiere dates. (Organized in alphabetical order)

Nike To Make Self-Lacing Shoes From Back To The Future Part II - via MSNBC.com

Back in May there was news that some genius actually invented a real-life hoverboard like the one Michael J. Fox uses in Back To The Future Part II. Now MSNBC.com reports that Nike is actually making self-lacing shoes similar to those shown in Back To The Future Part II as well. It was said that Nike has filed a patent for the shoes and, while it wasn't said when these shoes will hit the market, they are working on the technology. Take a look at this confusing image below:...
