Movies or shows you were surprised to learn actually exist

I recently discovered that there exists "'children's movies" based on the cthulu mythos called "Howard Lovecraft." Turns out it's a trilogy to boot, and Ron Pearlman voices a shoggoth. Thing is though is it looks like they're low budget direct-to-DVD movies that, outside of the novelty of it being a series of children's movies based on the works of HP Lovecraft, they look rather bland.

I was surprised to learn that Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson starred in a film together. The film is K-19: The Widowmaker. It's about a Soviet submarine commanded by Alexei Vostrikov (Ford) an executive officer Mikhail Polenin (Liam Neeson). The film was a critical disappointment and a bust in the box office, but a 61% on Rotten Tomatoes suggests there must be some redeeming qualities to this movie. As of writing this, the movie is free to watch with ads on the streaming site Vudu. Check it out and make heads or tails of it yourselves.

The Two Jakes a sequel to classic film Chinatown (1974), I had absolutely no idea about it when I learned of it and was more baffled why anyone would even make a sequel. The same case with 2001: A space Odyssey, it also has a sequel by a different director called 2010: The year we make contact. I found this to be all very bizarre.

This is a future project, but I was also suprised to hear the Sopranos is getting a prequel film The Many Saints of Newark next year. I'm kind of mixed about this one, I loved the Sopranos, but without James Gandolfini I don't know how it will turn out.

I found about this upon watching the Cinemassacre review of the entire Rocky series.

It's like it was the seventh Rocky film without actually being such, and before Creed took that role. If I could sum this movie in any way (because to me, it does feel like that) it's this: when the terms Crossover, Dream Team and Alternate Universe are merged together, boom, you get this splendid film.
