Peaky Blinders = The Godfather
We love The Godfather Parts I & II. (No one watches III more than once because it’s like eating rotten eggs after an expensive four-course meal.) If we’re honest, it’s mostly because we love watching Michael war with himself. Sure he murders people he's known his whole life, but he also attends baptisms and speaks softly. We all have our faults.

Classic Doctor Who in 30 Episodes
Doctor Who ran for 26 years in the twentieth century, before it was relaunched by Christopher Eccleston in 2005. With Peter Capaldi hanging up his eyebrows and stepping down from the role at Christmas, this summer is the perfect time to find yourself a darkened room and experience some of the show's past. Throughout the first 26 years, the show went through multiple production teams, along with seven doctors, each bringing new ideas and styles to the program. And so, here’s a handy guide to experiencing the breadth of 26 years of Doctor Who within the space of a single day. This list comprises a look at the different styles of the show, from the original historicals and science fiction stories to the more complicated ideas of the show’s later years, via some classic monsters, villains, and moments along the way. There’s no need to watch these in chronological order either, feel free to dip in and out as you fancy.

7 Great Magical Girl Shows
Magical girl is one of the more popular genres of anime. Aimed primarily at a young, female audience, almost every show is about teenage girls saving the world. With the popularity of male-led superheroes in the west, like the Avengers or Justice League, what the world needs more of is groups of young women who could easily beat those groups in a fight.

Greatest Gangster Movies
Gangster movies never go out of style. No matter the time or era, everyone is drawn to the stories of the mafia in American cinema, whether to cringe at the horror on screen or be thrilled by the criminal underworld. The mafia and mob has offered tons of real stories about gangsters caught red handed or of men who rose the ranks only to fall – hard.

Most Magical Harry Potter Creatures
When creating all of the magical Harry Potter creatures, J.K. Rowling drew inspiration from folklore and mythology. Most writers constructing a fictional universe (from J.R.R. Tolkien to George R.R. Martin) draw from reality. So, of course, Rowling had to base the Wizarding World on the real world – or, at least, the belief systems of the real world.

Most Hilarious Anime Memes
Memes… When you stumble upon them, they can make you smile. They can make you laugh. Hell, they can make you laugh so hard, you cry. And, if they're really funny, they can make you laugh so hard, you fart - that's when you know you've hit the jackpot of all memes. The best of the best.

Best 90s Cartoon Network Shows
"Only 90s kids will remember" is a trendy tagline that epitomizes the nostalgia shared amongst those born between 1990 and 1999. This period was right before the age of smartphones took away from the true creativity of many TV animators.

W.T.F. Japan? The Most Bizarre Anime Ever
Because there are so many genres in anime, every story is different. Many are original, some are confusing, but mainly they’re always entertaining. Then you get the shows that make you feel like you’re tripping your balls off or just very, very high… seriously. You can’t tell what the hell’s going on, the colors, the lights, the weird characters, the bizarre plot… These are the shows that make you think, “What the f*%# is this shit?”. You don't know whether to run like hell or keep watching to see if it eventually makes sense.

Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Spider-man, Iron Man, Captain America and the Incredible Hulk are but a few on a long list of world renowned superheroes, who are recognized in the most remote parts of the world.

Here are ten superheroes that have been mostly forgotten, and deserve to be remembered.
