One of the more grisly, imaginative, and consistent franchises was the Nightmare on Elm Street films, which were released between 1984 and 1994.

Disclaimer: I have not watched all of Daredevil or Iron Fist, mostly because they look really boring. I know that they are the members of The Defenders with the most interesting powers, but they look like two flavorless white boys, and I’m just not interested.
While I don’t generally make it to the theater that often I try my darndest, and this year was no exception. A lot of great films came out in 2015, and there’s a lot I still have to see (Oscar bait especially). In no particular order here are ten of my favorite films released this year.

Three Muppet movies were made in the nineties, the last of which, “Muppets from Space,” was a box office bust and led to a long drought for the franchise.
