20 Fan Theories That Change How You See Your Favorite Movies

‘Childs was definitely The Thing’

No movie is perfect. The Departed comes close, but even that one had Alec Baldwin. Non-Departed movies are guilty of all kinds of sins, from ripping off other movies to throwing a rug over plot holes big enough to throw Martin Sheen from, hoping we won't notice. Tragically, they will continue to walk free, as we are not a cop.

The good news is that means you can make up your own explanations for what a movie refuses to provide. Now, it's not a rip-off — it's a secret sequel. It's not a plot hole — it's time travel. A good fan theory can make a bad movie good and a great movie even better.
