These Are the Next Three TV Reboots That Should Be on Your Radar

So many reboots, so little time! Following Netflix’s Gilmore Girls and Fuller Housereturns, we quickly began daydreaming about all the amazing show reboots we need in our lives. It seems like the gods of TV might actually be listening to us, because in addition to Charmed, we’ve learned of THREE cult classics that could soon be hitting the small screen! Check out what you may soon expect to see below.

1.Living Single:During her appearance on this week’s Watch What Happens Live, Queen Latifah revealed that she’s doing her best to bring back ’90s hit comedy Living Single, which originally aired from 1993 to 1998 and saw “six black 20-somethings — four women and two men — share their lives and loves in a Brooklyn brownstone.”

Speaking to a fan who called into the show, she revealed that the reboot is “not there yet, but hopefully we can get it going.” The last time the cast was together (minus Queen) was for 2008’s hour-long Living Single: The Reunion Special. Although the actress didn’t spill any more details, original cast member John Henton gave us an added glimmer of hope when he told ET he’s “hopeful this will happen. I would love to get the band back together.” (So would we!) (Photo via Frazer Harrison/Getty)

2. Heathers:The 1988 (super) dark high school cult classic starring Winona Ryder, Christian Slater and Shannen Doherty is coming to the small screen! EW has confirmed that the film will be turned into a series on TV Land and will see 21-year-old Under the Dome actress Grace Victoria Cox taking over Winona’s role as Veronica Sawyer.

The network has ordered 10 hour-long episodes and — wait for it — confirmed that Shannen will have a regular role. (YASSSS!!) You’ll have to wait until the fall to get your first Heathers fix, but from what Keith Cox, president of development and production for TV Land, told EW, it will definitely be worth it: “Our take on Heathers is a cinematic, surprising, and twisted comedy that gives a wonderful nod to the film while also creating something entirely its own.” Sign. us. up! (Photo via TV Land)

3. Dinosaurs: Remember ABC’s ’90s classic Dinosaurs? Jim Henson’s greatest masterpiece (other than, you know, The Muppets)? Wouldn’t it be amazing if the show was brought back to life? 16,653 people and counting sure think so, which is why they’ve all signed a petition “to convince the Disney Company and ABC to reboot 90’s live action classic ‘Dinosaurs.'” Although the petition is super close to reaching its goal of raising 25,000 signatures, there’s sadly no confirmation that this reboot will in fact happen, buuuut a girl can dream. (Please, please, please, ABC!)

It's been 17 years since Gossip Girl first premiered on The CW, thus opening our eyes to the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite and introducing us to a new generation of stars like Blake Lively and Leighton Meester.

In the six seasons the show was on air, it captivated fans and critics alike, serving up week after week of delicious drama and continuously upping the ante for TV show fashion. ("So many designers were lining up to be a part of it — they wanted their stuff on Blake or Leighton," costume designer Eric Daman told Vanity Fair.) Click through to find out what the Gossip Girl cast has been up to since the show's success, and where they are today.

Blake Lively (Serena van der Woodsen)

Of all the Gossip Girl cast alumni, Blake Lively is arguably the most well-known. Not only has she gone on to major roles in movies — including The Age of Adaline, The Shallows, All I See Is You, and most recently, It Ends with Us— but she's also married to fellow actor Ryan Reynolds (married in 2012).

Blake shares four beautiful daughters, James, Inez, Betty, and the youngest (born in 2023) whose name has not been announced publicly with Ryan. True to her Gossip Girl character, she's quite the fashionista! In her spare time, she likes to hang out with her BFFs, who just so happen to include Taylor Swiftandthe Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants ladies.

Leighton Meester (Blair Waldorf)

Leighton Meester has a career that would make even her cunningly ambitious Queen B character proud. Since Gossip Girl's end in 2012, she's acted in films including Life Partners, The Judge, The Weekend Away, and most recently, EXmas. She even recorded and released songs such as "Good Girls Go Bad" with Cobra Starship and the solo effort "Somebody to Love," and even starred on Broadway in Of Mice and Men back in 2014.

Leighton is married to actor Adam Brody (The O.C., Jennifer's Body, Gilmore Girls) as of 2014. She has two kids – one daughter and one son.

She has been heavily involved in philanthropy while taking on acting projects, primarily volunteering and campaigning with Feeding America and the Los Angeles Food Bank.

Taylor Momsen (Jenny Humphrey)

Long gone are the days when Taylor Momsen played Dan Humphrey's sweet (and a bit messed up) little sis, Jenny. The actress left the Gossip Girl cast in 2010 in order to pursue her dreams of a music career, and all these years later, she's still doing just that as the frontwoman of the uber-successful rock group, The Pretty Reckless. With four records under their belt, the four-member band has supported bands like Evanescence, Soundgarden, and Guns N' Roses, and has toured in numerous cities and music festivals.

Momsen has typically kept her dating life on the down-low. She is currently single and appears to be putting all of her energy into her band.

Penn Badgley (Dan Humphrey)

Everyone’s favorite Gossip Girl — er, guyPenn Badgley, followed in his on-screen sister's footsteps after the show ended, pursuing his musical interests with rock band MOTHXR. The band's most current project, Centerfold, was released back in 2016.

Badgley has since acted in several movies and TV shows including Easy A, The Paper Store, and Here Today, but his most notable work has been on the ongoing book-based Netflix series, You. He plays Joe Goldberg, a charming bookkeeper with eerily odd characteristics, especially when it comes to love.

Badgley currently has a podcast titled Podcrushed, which explores the awkwardness of adolescence and revisits guests' best (and worst) middle school memories. He cohosts with Nava Kavelin and Sophie Ansari. One episode even features ex-Gossip Girl co-star, Leighton Meester!

Badgley is married to singer and doula Domino Kirke as of 2017. Kirke already had a child from a previous relationship. Badgley and Kirke had their first son together in 2020.

Ed Westwick (Chuck Bass)

Ed Westwick tapped into his angsty side post-Gossip Girl, starring as Tybalt in a 2013 adaptation of Romeo & Juliet. Since then, he has fought crime as Kent Grainger on Wicked City, played a crime lord on Snatch, and sold double-glazed windows on White Gold. Is there any role he can't play? Most recently, Westwick stars in the movie DarkGame.

With a background in music, Westwick also currently sings in the bandFor You. Their most recent release is the song "Tailspin," and they're set to release a new single "Here Comes Trouble" in March 2024.

Westwick had been dating model and actress Amy Jacksonsince 2021, with the pair getting happily engaged during a ski trip in January 2024.

Chace Crawford (Nate Archibald)

Following his stint as a wealthy Upper East Sider on Gossip Girl, Texas native Chace Crawford tried his hand at playing a greedy oil worker on ABC's short-lived TV series, Blood & Oil. He's had several film roles since – you can catch him in movies like Undrafted, Eloise, Nighthawks, even voice-actingin Belle. Most recently, Crawford stars as The Deep on The Boys.

Crawford has previously dated Carrie Underwood, Rachelle Goulding, and Rebecca Rittenhouse, though he is currently single as a Pringle.

Jessica Szohr (Vanessa Abrams)

Jessica Szohr, who played Dan Humphrey's BFF slash on-again, off-again girlfriend (needless to say, we were confused too), has been a lot busier than her character was after season four, when she was all but written off the show.

In the years since Gossip Girl, the actress scored several roles on TV shows such as Complications, Kingdom, Twin Peaks and The Orville. She even starred in Taylor Swift's music video for "22" back in 2013!

Jessica also welcomed a daughter with her longtime boyfriend in early 2021.

Jessica currently hosts a podcast called "XOXO" that dives deep into the Gossip Girl cast, crew, and behind-the-scenes moments. Some notable episodes have featured Zuzanna Szadkowski (Dorota), Aaron Tveit (Tripp van der Bilt), Kelly Rutherford (Lily van der Woodsen), and Michelle Trachtenburg (Georgina Sparks).

Michelle Trachtenberg (Georgina Sparks)

Since her stint as the "bad girl" Georgina Sparks, Michelle Trachtenberg landed roles on shows like Criminal Minds, NCIS: Los Angeles, Sleepy Hollow, and Sister Cities among other numerous series and movies. She even reprised her role as Georgina for the 2021 remake of Gossip Girl on HBO Max!

She managed to keep her personal life largely out of the tabloids, including her dating life. The last update on her relationship status was in 2023, and that she was dating her talent agent, Jay Cohen. She reportedly previously dated Shawn Ashmore, Joshua Radin, and Jason Segel.

Unfortunately, Michelle passed away on February 26, 2025.

Kelly Rutherford (Lily van der Woodsen)

Besides being a New York Fashion Week icon (we'd expect nothing less of Lily van der Woodsen's alter ego!), Kelly Rutherford has popped up in several TV shows over the years, including Quantico, Jane the Virgin, and Dynasty.

She also frequently travels to France and Monaco, where, after years of custody battles with her second ex-husband, Daniel Giersch, she has extensive visitation rights to see her two children, who reside there with their father.

"Yes, it was a challenging time. It was a heartbreaking time," she told People. "But I focus on the good most of the time, I really do," she says. "I'm very thankful of where we are. I have a great relationship with my kids."

When she's not with her kids or working on a project, Kelly is dropping iconic 'fit pics on her Instagram account.

Matthew Settle (Rufus Humphrey)

Matthew Settle, who played rockstar dad Rufus Humphrey, continued acting after the Gossip Girl cast dissolved. He hasn't been on any other TV shows other than one episode of Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders in 2016. He mostly stuck to movies, acting in titles like Ouija, Marshall the Miracle Dog, and Valentine: The Dark Avenger.

Settle is also a dad of two children, having welcomed his first with actress and model Naama Nativ in 2009. He had divorced her in 2011 and went on to have a second baby with girlfriend Maria Alfonsin in 2015.

Zuzanna Szadkowski (Dorota Kishlovsky)

Though Blair's loyal maid and, ultimately, best friend, wasn't technically a main character, there's no denying that it would have been a different show without her unwavering presence! Zuzanna Szadowski has dabbled in film and television since then, appearing in shows such as Girls,The Good Wife, and Modern Love.

In 2010, she partnered with Sam Weisman to open The Sam Weisman Studio, an acting school (now closed).

Oh, and did we mention she just so happens to be one of Leighton Meester's real-life BFFs?

This post has been updated with additional reporting by Meredith Holser.

Love may be blind, but is it written in the stars? Season 8 of Love Is Blind premiered on February 14, with 32 hopeful romantics putting their hearts on the line in the ultimate social experiment.

Sagittarius women and Taurus men dominate the cast this season, but they're not the only ones hoping to prove love transcends first impressions. Let's dive into the zodiac signs of each cast member. Their astrological profiles might reveal something about their journey to "I do."

Scroll to find out every zodiac sign for the Love is Blind season 8 cast!

Netflix

Aries (March 21 – April 20)

There are only three Aries on the reality show this season: Britanny, Monica, and David.

Britanny is 35 years old, works as a partnership executive, and relishes new experiences, which is why she relocated to Minneapolis. Meanwhile, Monica is 28, a digital marketer, and describes herself as family-oriented, wanting her partner to "feel like another family member."

David, the only male Aries, is a 33-year-old medical device salesperson who, contrary to what his job might suggest, hates superficiality and "too much Botox."

This zodiac sign is known for its boldness, passion, and unwavering determination when it comes to love. They have strong and adventurous personalities that could bring excitement and maybe even a little drama to Love Is Blind.

Netflix

Taurus (April 21 – May 21)

There are four male Tauruses in the cast this season, including Alex, Daniel, Joey, and Mason, as well as one female, Casandra. So, ladies first! Casandra is 30 years old, a hairstylist, and believes that the "ultimate green flag" is a good sense of humor.

Moving over to the men, Alex is 29, works as a commercial real estate broker, and plays a ton of instruments, including the guitar, piano, bass, violin, drums, and clarinet.

Netflix

Daniel, on the other hand, is a 30-year-old sales account executive who was actually a former Gerber baby model. Finally, Joey is a 35-year-old physician associate, and Mason is a 33-year-old cinematographer.

Tauruses are known for their loyalty and appreciation for the finer things in life. This group can bring stability (or maybe even some stubbornness) to the season.

Netflix

Gemini (May 22 – June 21)

There's just one Gemini on Love Is Blind this season, but she shouldn't be overlooked!

Tiera is 34 years old, employed as a marketing strategist, and values the "old ways" of dating. In fact, she even ditched dating apps in hopes of meeting her beau-to-be in the real world.

Geminis are witty, adaptable, and curious. Tiera's mindset and adoration of traditional romance could bring a refreshing mix of charm and depth.

Netflix

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)

Only two men are Cancers on Season 8. First up is Andrew, a 27-year-old realtor who wants to connect with someone on a deeper level, saying, "I'm someone who is constantly searching for answers to not always the simplest questions. I'm looking for someone who is willing to go on that journey."

Brian, a 30-year-old wine bar owner, also bears this zodiac sign and hopes to achieve a better work-life balance with his future significant other. He's also most complimented on his smile.

Cancers are very emotional, intuitive, and devoted partners who seek meaningful connections and a strong sense of home. With Andrew's introspective nature and Brian's desire for balance, these two water signs may spark some sentimental moments in Love Is Blind.

Netflix

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Watch out: there are two Leos on Season 8, and they could try to steal the spotlight.

Madison is a 28-year-old artist who admitted her most stable relationship has been with her French bulldog named Henri. The pup even has his own Instagram. Meanwhile, Adam is a 33-year-old co-owner and fashion director who traveled to six continents by the time he was only 13.

This zodiac sign is confident, charismatic, and loves being adored. As fire signs, Madison and Adam will surely inject the show with some passion, excitement, and perhaps a touch of drama.

Netflix

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Season 8 has no male Virgos, only two women. Ashley is 28 years old, works as a client success manager, and has previously been told by past partners that she's "a bit too much."

"I'm not willing to sacrifice my excitability. I really just want a partner that can embrace that fully," she said.

Then there is Kylie, a 28-year-old medical student who's "very religious" and wants to find a husband who shares her values.

Virgos are intelligent, practical, and deeply devoted, hence why they make thoughtful and committed partners. Ashley and Kylie seem like they'll approach love with both passion and purpose.

Netflix

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Just one man and one woman are Libras in the latest Love Is Blind installment. Meg is a 31-year-old oncology nurse who's free-spirited, goofy, and can be a little "air-headed" on occasion. On the other hand, Ben is 28 years old, works as a developer, and admits to being competitive. Even so, he doesn't like seeing others get excluded.

"I have kind of a sixth sense for that and love to just bring people in and make them feel included," he explained.

As charming and social peacemakers, Libras appreciate harmony in relationships. Meg and Ben embody this zodiac sign's balance between fun and fairness.

Netflix

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Tom is the lone Scorpio in Season 8. He's 38 years old, works as a management consultant, and is a native of Brazil. However, he was raised in Minnesota and calls himself a "fitness fanatic." Now, he wants to channel his determination and commitment into a lifelong relationship.

This zodiac sign is intense, passionate, and deeply loyal. Tom is clearly disciplined and desires a lasting connection so he can bring depth, focus, and a touch of mystery to the table.

Oh, and Nick and Vanessa are Scorpios, too! They even share the same birthday — November 9!

Netflix

Sagittarius (November 21 – December 21)

Lauren, Molly, Vanessa, and Yemi are all Sagittarians seeking love this season. For starters, Lauren is 31 years old and works in educational sales, but her past relationships haven't lasted longer than six to nine months. She's seeking a partnership that lasts the test of time.

Next, Molly is a 30-year-old executive assistant who owns her own home, and Vanessa is a 31-year-old media planner who's actually a classically trained ballerina. The final Sagittarian woman is Yemi, a 30-year-old product sales manager. She's independent and successful in her career, so she wants an ambitious man who helps her grow.

Netflix

There are just two male Sagitarrians: Brad and Scott. Brad is 35 years old, works as a dentist, and hopes to find a "best friend" who's easy to talk to. As for Scott, he's a 34-year-old project manager who's been described as a "golden retriever" and has a close bond with his loved ones.

These adventurous and free-spirited singles balance a mix of ambition with a longing for deep connections. They could bring spontaneity and a few bold moves to Love Is Blind.

Netflix

Capricorn (December 21 – January 19)

Mo is the sole male Capricorn in Season 8. He's a 35-year-old property manager who actually learned English as his third language and hopes to find someone who's trustworthy and values his big heart.

Amanda, Sara, and Virginia are the three female Capricorns. Starting with Amanda, she's 43, works as a district retail manager, and really wants a real-life meet-cut. Sara is a 29-year-old oncology nurse who's seeking a goal-oriented significant other. Lastly, Virginia is 34 years old, employed as a healthcare recruiter, and has endured draining situationships.

"Still showing up and wanting love is my hugest accomplishment because it's really easy to become jaded," she admitted.

This zodiac sign is ambitious, practical, loyal, and focuses on long-term goals. Whether this season's Capricorns are looking for trust, stability, or a fresh start, they'll bring determination and resilience to Love Is Blind.

Netflix

Aquarius (January 20 – February 19)

Benji, a 26-year-old entrepreneur and realtor, is the only Aquarian in Season 8. He's bounced around over the last seven years as a "huge traveler," but now, he's hoping to settle down with someone who checks all of his boxes.

His dream partner is spontaneous (with the ability to plan) and pushes him to try new things (while also making him feel comfortable).

Will Benji find everything he's looking for? It's unclear. Nonetheless, Aquarians are innovative and forward-thinking, so Benji's curiosity could lead him somewhere unexpected.

Netflix

Pisces (February 20 – March 21)

Last but certainly not least is Pisces, the sign home to one woman and two men this season. Let's begin with Taylor. She's a 32-year-old colonoscopy nurse who lost herself in previous relationships and wants to "love fearlessly and wholeheartedly" again.

As for the men, Devin is a 29-year-old youth director/coach who built a basketball training business and hopes to find a woman who supports him from the sidelines. Meanwhile, Hugo is a 30-year-old marketer who enjoys escaping the mundane and wants a woman who matches his spontaneous spirit.

This zodiac sign is romantic and intuitive. Viewers can expect some empathy and creativity from the Pisces on Season 8 of Love Is Blind.

The '90s were a great time, according to millennials. It was a time of rollerblading, listening to cassette players, playing Super Mario Bros. on Nintendos, having birthday parties at Chuck E. Cheese, and more. Besides this and other pop culture moments that went viral before social media existed, the '90s gave us classic stores we used to frequent as kids.

Despite meeting their demise as the Y2K age took over, we'll never forget the fun memories (and maximalist vibes) these stores gave us!

Take a walk down memory lane by revisiting our favorite '90s stores that will take you back in time (and make you feel old):

Getty Images

1. Party City

Our hearts are hurting because we don't understand why one of the most popular decor stores is closing. The brand was apparently facing "financial challenges," according to it's CEO Barry Litwin (via CNN). There were other issues behind the scenes, but everything trickled down to money, or a lack thereof.

It's so shocking because some of us just picked up a few holiday items from Party City this month! It was one of the stores that seemed to have everything we needed before Amazon became the mega wholesaler that it is today.

I guess this means we should've cherished Party City a little more because it's officially gone.

Getty Images

2. Blockbuster

Long before streaming platforms like Netflix and Peacock existed, people used to spend Friday nights looking at rows of VHS movies to rent. If you were lucky, your parents would stop by Blockbuster before picking up pizza for dinner. It was the ultimate '90s treat…until it wasn’t.

When we want to remember what it felt like visiting Blockbuster, we fast forward to that one scene in I Am Legend where Dr. Robert Neville is going to 'rent' movies. It's a little cringe now that we think about it, but it's the closet memory we have of spending at least 30 minutes picking out the VHS or DVD to watch.

Getty Images

3. Circuit City

Raise your hand if you remember getting your first CD player or computer from Circuit City. The name alone conjures fun memories of running up and down the aisles pretending we could afford all the fun electronics. We watched desktop computers slowly morph into laptops, which seemed like an exciting time. Also, some of us watched our parents lament the cost of the required Texas Instrument calculators we needed for math class.

Although Circuit City isn't around like it used to be, we'll never forget watching the world change through its eyes.

Getty Images

4. Virgin Music Store

If you wanted to be a part of the cool crowd, you visited the Virgin music store. We aptly remember the neon sign and memorable displays that beckoned to us. Although we could find some of the same CDs at Circuit City, the store’s design didn’t feel stuffy.

Getty Images

5. Radio Shack

This one’s personal because we stood in lines with our parents when they bought their first cell phones and DVD players. Also, one of our parents may or may not have purchased a very coveted Bratz convertible that played music from Radio Shack.

Even though it wasn’t the biggest store, it gave us a taste of what the future had for us. Little did we know we’d lose this sweet store though.

6. Border's

As much as we love recommending books from Amazon and local bookshops, we miss when Border’s was around. There’s not much to say about this store besides how grown-up we felt when our parents would let us spend time there while they shopped at their favorite stores in the mall.

Getty Images

7. KB Toys

Aside from Toys ‘R’ Us, we also remember when K.B. Toys was popular. Not unlike today, there wasn’t such a thing as having too many toy stores. Sometimes we found things at K.B.s that felt like a treat. The cluttered aisles probably annoyed our parents, but we were always happy when we were allowed to pick something out.

Getty Images

8. Wet Seal

Yes, Wet Seal made the list of stores we loved in the '90s. Unlike Goody’s, it was specifically geared towards pre-teens and teens who wanted to wear the latest fashions. It was one of the the places to discover your style at the time even if it meant leaving piles of clothes for weary store associates to put back (sorry!)

Though we miss it, we hope no one tries to revive it because we’re sure we’d see a few outdated fashion trends.

Getty Images

9. Esprit

This was another store that screamed 'All American Teen Store.' Unlike Wet Seal, the store's layout and clothing were a little more 'sophisticated.' It spoke to teens who are now adults with a sleeker preppy style. It sounds like a reach, but it's not if you think about it. This store could give you logomania, tenniscore, or something that resembled the outfits from Saved By the Bell at the same time.

10. Goody's

Were you really a '90s kid if your mom didn’t drag you to Goody’s? Shockingly enough, we hardly ever complained because it felt like a huge store we could play in. Plus, it had clothes for everyone.

And if there were a sale during BTS season? You could always count on our moms to leave the store with stuffed shopping bags.

Which '90s stores do you wish were still open? Let us know on Facebook!

As times change, so do our cultural norms, and what was once considered groundbreaking or entertaining in Hollywood can now raise eyebrows or leave modern audiences downright appalled.

So, many old movies have themes, scenes, or characters that just wouldn't fly if they were made today. Whether due to outdated stereotypes, problematic depictions, or jokes that have aged like milk, here are 10 classic movies that would definitely get canceled in 2025.

Scroll to see which classic movies would totally get canceled in 2025!

Universal Pictures

1. I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry (2007)

Adam Sandler may be a comedy legend, but it's no secret that his seemingly fun-loving material can toe the line of offensiveness.

One of the biggest examples is his 2007 film, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry. Starring alongside Kevin James, the pair portray two straight firefighters who pretend to be a married gay couple in order to secure health benefits.

The movie relies on outdated gay stereotypes, ranging from exaggerated mannerisms to jokes that depend on the mere idea of queerness being inherently funny. If it were made today, this film would definitely be viewed as tone-deaf.

Jack Rollins & Charles H. Joffe Productions

2. Manhattan (1979)

It's hard to think that Manhattan would ever be made today in the post-#MeToo era. The plot's central romance revolves around Isaac Davis, a 42-year-old man dating a 17-year-old high school student named Tracy.

Sure, the movie acknowledges the ethical concerns of the relationship. Nonetheless, the fact remains that this dynamic is the core of the film, and many have questioned how such a story was ever normalized in the first place.

Everyman Pictures

3. Borat (2006)

When this mockumentary came out in 2006, it raked in over $260 million at the box office and became one of the most quotable films of its time.

Regardless, this satirical film leans into a lot of offensive stereotypes to get laughs. The title character is misogynistic, mocks feminists, adopts exaggerated Black stereotypes and expresses antisemitic beliefs.

While the movie's intention was to expose ignorance and prejudice, many would probably miss the joke (and only see the offense) in today's climate.

MGM Studios

4. Pretty Maids All in a Row (1971)

Written in 1981 by Gene Roddenberry, Pretty Maids All in a Row follows a high school gym teacher who seduces multiple female students. It's deeply unsettling.

There is a serial killer subplot, but this attempt to balance the story does little to condemn the predatory behavior. And it wouldn't go over well with audiences today.

United Artists

5. Rain Man (1988)

Rain Man was a huge success in 1988, but its portrayal of autism hasn't aged well. This comedy-drama is about a car dealer, played by Tom Cruise, who finds out his estranged father died and tries to make sure his late dad's $3 million estate is left to him instead of his brother, Raymond, who has autism.

Dustin Hoffman's performance as Raymond might've helped win the film four Academy Awards, but it also fueled misconceptions about autism.

United Artists

6. Stagecoach (1939)

Stagecoach was a landmark in movie history, but today, its portrayal of Indigenous people is impossible to ignore.

Directed by John Ford and starring John Wayne, the film reduces Indigenous people to violent antagonists who are just obstacles for the white cowboys to overcome. It reflects the deep racism of early Hollywood and would never be made in the same way today.

MGM Studios

7. Freaks (1932)

Freaks is one of the more controversial horror films of the 1930s. It's set in a circus and follows a group of sideshow performers played by real people with disabilities who take revenge on a cruel trapeze artist and her strongman after they plot to murder one of their own.

This film has been applauded for its sympathetic portrayal of the performers as more humane than their able-bodied counterparts. Still, it also sensationalized their differences, so it's unlikely a major studio would attempt anything similar today.

Universal Pictures

8. Howard The Duck (1986)

The 1980s undoubtedly produced plenty of bizarre films, but Howard The Duck took things to the next level. It was marketed as a family-friendly adventure despite its raunchy humor, adult themes, and bizarre moments.

The movie left parents horrified even back in the 1980s, so you can probably imagine how much outrage it would spark today.

20th Century Fox

9. Home Alone(1990)

Home Alone is still a favorite holiday classic, but its premise would definitely cause some major controversy today. The idea of two parents accidentally leaving their young son behind and not noticing until they're halfway across the world wouldn't be played for laughs.

Add in the fact that Kevin McCallister is left to fend off two burglars by himself, and it's easy to see why audiences now might view the film more critically and have concerns about child neglect and endangerment.

Dreamworks Pictures

10. Tropic Thunder (2008)

Finally, Tropic Thunder may be a cult classic that was intentionally provocative and used satire to critique Hollywood, but there is no way it could hit big screens today.

The character Kirk Lazarus, played by Robert Downey Jr., along with the film's outdated humor and portrayal of race (like the use of blackface), just wouldn't fly.

If you're someone with a dimly lit home or office, you might think that adding greenery to your space would be impossible. Think again!

There are actually plenty of low-light houseplants out there that thrive in even the darkest corners. These resilient beauties simply don't need direct sun to flourish, making them perfect for areas that lack natural light.

Whether you're a veteran plant parent or just starting out, here are 15 low-light options to brighten up your interior.

Scroll to see which plants will still totally thrive in your low-light spaces!

The Sill

1. Bromeliad Plant

The Bromeliad is a unique, low-light indoor plant that's great for spaces with limited natural sunlight. It can even thrive under fluorescent light, making it a solid choice for offices or rooms without windows.
