The horror genre can be notoriously divisive, with cult favorites derided by critics and critical darlings called out as pretentious by the genre's fans. At agoodmovietowatch, our job is to bridge that gap—recommending you a healthy dose of scary movies that offer more than your standard blood and gore and jump scares, but that still scratch your itch to see something creepy and messed up. Here we've prepared a list of horror films we still think are underseen by most people, but whose quality we'd cross our hearts and hope to die for.

Music and movies have been inseparable since the first films started being presented to audiences with live musicians. And over time, the musical film, the concert film, and the music documentary have all become their own traditions within cinema. There's something special about the thrill of a musical performance captured through the camera lens and editing that only movies can offer. Here at agoodmovietowatch, we've curated a list of highly recommended music films that still might have flown under the radar for either the casual viewer or the casual listener.

As more and more kids grow up with the internet, it's become harder for parents to regulate what their kids watch and do online. Fortunately, major streaming platforms and devices have integrated parental control options so children can avoid stumbling across mature and inappropriate content while navigating the internet. 

Setting up the parental controls varies for each service, but most of the process involves creating a children's profile on your account, locking inappropriate channels with a password, and for some, monitoring shows viewed on the account. Check out our curated list of the best streaming services with parental control features below. 

As nice as it is to remember adolescence in all its fresh and pink-hued glory, we all know the so-called wonder years of our youth weren't really all that wonderful. Puberty was awkward, fitting in painful, and rude awakenings unavoidable—a punch in the face wherever you looked. The best coming-of-age stories capture that bizarre mix of awestruck and angst. And we can look to films for that, but there’s something special about a TV series dedicating its entire, episodic run to exploring this specific time in our lives. The characters start to feel like friends; their aches relatable and their growth a cause for joy. So below, we round up the very best shows to do just that. Some are funny, some are grim, but all offer that unique company only a fellow kid going through it can give.
