There are also plenty of futuristic and space movies on Netflix that will have you contemplating what is to come.

Underrated Netflix Original Sci-Fi Movies You Need To See

Though the U.S. is not even 250 years old, history textbooks already must omit a great deal. Here are in-depth looks at a few of the most fascinating and less flattering events and scenes that took place on American soil.

America's Forgotten History

Jeopardy!

American history - relatively speaking, there's not that much of it, right? As far as the timeline of world civilizations goes, the United States is pretty young. Maybe that's why a lot of people really enjoy learning <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/greatest-american-eras/jacob-shelton">American history</a> in school. It's accessible, and the names and events are familiar.&nbsp;Well, that's what we thought, but then we looked at all the different questions (or answers, depending on how technical you want to get) about US history that appear on Jeopardy! and realized there's a whole lot more than what was in our textbooks. The number of things <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/jeopardy-questions-that-stumped-best-players/damon-davis">Jeopardy! questions</a> brought to light about the history of the US are truly remarkable.&nbsp;Here's a selection of questions about American history that have been asked on Jeopardy! that make all of those history tests we took in school look easy.

The Hunger Games Franchise

The <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/hunger-games-movie-details/raelyn-giansanti" target="_blank">Hunger Games</a>&nbsp;series is one of the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-highest-grossing-movie-franchises-of-all-time/robert-wabash?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">most successful film franchises</a>&nbsp;to have been adapted&nbsp;from young adult books, along with the likes of the&nbsp;Harry Potter&nbsp;franchise. The story spans three books and four movies, ending with&nbsp;Mockingjay,&nbsp;which&nbsp;brings Katniss Everdeen&#39;s adventures to a close. While Katniss&#39;s struggles are well known, it&#39;s worth learning more about the backstory that led to Panem being the way it was.&nbsp;

Panem fell for a certain amount of time as a result of the First Rebellion, when the districts attempted to revolt against the Capitol - and there are many&nbsp;important details related to this event. Fans of the movie series will probably not be aware of the majority of these fun facts, which provide more context for major plot points and help us learn&nbsp;more about <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/hunger-games-book-vs-movie-comparisons/lisa-waugh" target="_blank">Panem&#39;s</a> first major war.

The Worlds of Science Fiction

Total Nerd

Science fiction has always been something of a gamble for film studios. While there have been some epic films like&nbsp;2001: A Space Odyssey, for the most part, the genre is filled with a smattering of good movies, duds, and financial disasters. The biggest problem with sci-fi isn't that the movies aren't amazing; it's that the films tend to garner fan support from a niche community. When that happens, movies that are generally perceived as being bad because of their box office performance&nbsp;aren't bad at all.These sci-fi films have received generally poor reviews or had a terrible showing at the box office when they first hit theaters. Despite this, they are beloved by fans all across the world. For this list, only films that have a 69% or lower on Rotten Tomatoes are considered. Vote up the films worth a rewatch!
