6. Terminator: The Battle for the Future | 2008 - 2009

A series of films about the Terminator raises such complex problems as time travel and their legitimacy, attempts to change the already existing fate of mankind, the reason for creating artificial intelligence.
The plot is so amazing that the creators did not stop at one picture, but created four more films. Moreover, those who did not like the continuation of the movie Terminator 2: Doomsday should definitely watch the series Terminator: The Chronicles of Sarah Connor, which presents an alternative version of the events that occurred after the death of the T-800 and the destruction of the T-1000 .
5. My boy | 2014 - 2015
The plot of the melodramatic comedy "My Boy", which in the early 2000s was pleasing to the eye and captivated by the non-triviality of the story being told.
Many liked the image of the charming gouging Will Freeman, who only knows for himself what to spend money in music stores and twist novels with young women. So he would live further if he had not met a single mother Fiona and her son Marcus.
Acquaintance with the boys dramatically changes the life of Will, who suddenly realizes what it is like to be responsible for the person you love. The comedic adventures of Will and Marcus continued in the series, which was released in 2014.
4. Buffy the Vampire Slayer | 1997 - 2003
Perhaps for some people this news will turn out to be a revelation, but the series “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” does not have an original plot. Yes Yes! It turns out that the young girl was already dealing with all sorts of evil spirits in a 1992 feature film.
In the film, Buffy was a graduate of the school, who suddenly finds out that she is not so ordinary, her mission is to fight and fight various mystical creatures.
Apparently, Buffy of the 90s was very good at what she did, since the series decided to repeat the success of the original film in 1997.
On the other hand, the new Buffy is much more decisive and courageous, which is probably why she so deeply sunk into the hearts of many viewers.

Creativity of the Cohen brothers more than once prompted both spectators and other directors to think hard and serious. They can relate to a variety of topics: be it death, revenge, murder, and betrayal.
The film they shot in 1996 with the unusual name “Fargo”, which from the very first minutes of the picture tries to convince the viewer that the plot is based on real events, hooked a lot of people to the “live”. He pushed someone to re-realize his own life values, and others to create such “Fargo” paintings.
And although the plot of the series with the same name has nothing to do with the film of the Cohen brothers, the atmosphere of the picture makes one involuntarily recall the original source.
