Life Life Netflix's The Movies That Made Us is getting another season Good news for people who really like iconic '80s and '90s movies that are literally beloved by everyone: Netflix's documentary series The Movies That Made Us is getting another season. The announcement was made in an Instagram post from The Nacelle Company (the folks behind the series), but it doesn't really tell us what to expect from the new season… though we're not sure you can actually make a sequel to something by scratching out the "1" on a VHS tape and replacing it with a "2."
