These 4 Scooby Doo Films Are By Far The Best Ones
The people of the world were introduced to Scooby Doo back in 1969. The original Series named 'Scooby Doo, Where Are You!' was created for Hanna-Barbera Productions. The original writers were Joe Ruby and Ken Spears when the show launched in the late '60s. In case you don't know, the show which was shown every Saturday morning had featured four close teenagers called Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley and Norville "Shaggy" Rogers. They went on mysteries with their talking Great Dane called Scooby Doo. They solved all kinds of mysteries which had involved supposedly supernatural creatures.

Times Flies: What Makes David Cronenberg's 'The Fly' The Greatest Remake Ever ?
It is nostalgia time again here at Movie Pilot, as from tiny maggots do mighty flies grow. We take a look back at what made 1986's The Fly such a masterpiece and re-visit David Cronenberg's winged horror. With the tagline "Be afraid, be very afraid", how many horror-tots of today would know that such an iconic phrase originated with The Fly? As a staple of any good DVD collection, The Fly has been parodied, sequelled and talked about being remade for the past 30 years. This is how one director's horror-opus can still create a 'buzz' three decades later!

13 Scenes From Book to Film Adaptations That Were Lifted Straight From the Page
Don’t we all love books? They can be inspiring, thrilling and thoughtful, taking us to far-flung places or worlds that are eerily close to our own. Hollywood has long mined our favorite tomes for ideas or straight up adapted them, to varying degrees of success. Although some movies are celebrated for taking some artistic licence, many leave fans infuriated by how far they stray from the source material.

From 'Drive' to 'Guardians of the Galaxy': 11 Hit Tunes That Are Forever Tied to Their Films
Everyone remembers the Ghostbusters song, don’t they? Chances are that it’s playing in your head at the mere mention of it! The fact that we can recall it so quickly demonstrates why soundtracks and scores are so important to a movie. A successful musical accompaniment can convey the moods and ideas of a film both subtly and overtly, and become art forms in themselves (the beloved score for The Lord of the Rings trilogy is a notable example of this).

It's decidedly mixed reviews are causing quite the stir.

What Could Have Been: Treasure Planet 2
You might remember the Disney movie Treasure Planet, or you might not, because it's never really achieved the same level of fame as the rest of the Disney pantheon - but not because it was a bad movie. It was a hybrid 2D/CGI updated version of Robert Louis Stevenson's 'Treasure Island' - in space! With classic sailing-ship-looking crafts that sailed in an airy space atmosphere called the Etherium. It had a blend of Celtic-sounding music with some 90's grunge songs (by Goo Goo Dolls frontman John Rzeznik) mirroring the steampunk-ish vibe of old-meets-"new," and brought in an element of parental abandonment and found family.

And now the series looks set to enter a new frontier of representation in Star Trek Beyond!
