18+Season 2
Synopsis
The Movies That Made Us, Season 2 (2021) — four new episodes to watch online on iFILM. Same format, a different set of films: Back to the Future, Pretty Woman, Jurassic Park, and Forrest Gump.
Back to the Future was built on a half-formed idea from a director fresh off multiple flops, until the right car and a rising star made it work. Pretty Woman went through so many rewrites that insiders still seem surprised it got made at all — let alone that it launched an unknown actress into global stardom and reset the romantic-comedy formula. Jurassic Park gets the most consequential episode: the CGI dinosaurs didn't just fill seats, they ended the animatronics era and changed what visual effects could do. Forrest Gump arrived almost by accident — a script unearthed by chance — and left with six Academy Awards and a decade's worth of cultural shorthand.
Season 2 reaches for bigger targets than the first: every film here didn't just succeed, it shifted how movies get made. Stream Season 2 of The Movies That Made Us online on iFILM.
