The popularRick and Morty was created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, and it focuses on a grandpa and his grandson. The grandpa is a mad scientist named Rick Sanchez, and he is constantly dragging his worried grandson, Morty, on crazy adventures through time and space and beyond.

The unique sense of humor, the whimsical animation style, the factual scientific information, and the over-the-top scenes have been drawing fans into this series since 2013. And people who are interested in this story may want to check out the following 10 movies, as well, which may just be right up their alley.
Rick and Morty are inspired by Doc Brown and Marty McFly, from Back to the Future, earning it a spot on this list. Released in 1985, it starred Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd as characters who traveled from 1985 to 1955 in a DeLorean.
From Doc Browns hair and Martys youthful innocence to the entertaining hiccups encountered along the way, viewers will notice several similarities between these two works.
In 1971, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory came out, and it has gone down in history as a beloved film. It starred Gene Wilder, it was based on a book by Roald Dahl, and it showed off a chocolate factory, meaning there was a lot to love.
Plus, the eccentric behavior of Wonka and the grandfather-grandson relationship featured in the story may appeal to fans of Rick & Morty, as well.
Marvel flicks do quite well, including Guardians of the Galaxy from 2014, which starred big names like Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, and Bradley Cooper.
While fans could surely come up with many reasons to watch this movie, there are two really good ones, when it comes to those interested in Rick and Mortys adventures: First, both are set in space (a lot of the time), and secondly, Rick & Morty has parodied Guardians of the Galaxy!
In 1989, Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves were Bill and Ted, and these characters traveled back in time, in order to complete their history assignments.
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure is one of those goofy comedies that people have watched over and over, and there are definitely some similar plot points found in this film and this TV show.
Another movie that has been referenced and recreated on Rick & Morty would be Mad Max: Fury Road. This was released in 2015, was set in a post-apocalyptic desert wasteland, and starred Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron.

If there is anyone out there who likes Summer Smith and hasnt seen this particular piece, then do it now.
Here is another science-based suggestion: Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. From 1989, it was about a man played by Rick Moranis who ended up accidentallyshrinkinghis kids with his electromagnetic shrinking machine.
There have been several times when Rick changed the sizes of people and things, as well as several moments when he made mistakes. Furthermore, those who enjoy this flick can then go on to watch two sequels and the television series, too!
Rick is not an average grandfather and neither was the title character of Dirty Grandpa from 2016.
This comedy was all about a lawyer who drove his grandpa to Florida during spring break. On top of that, it starred funny actors and actresses like Robert De Niro, Zac Efron, Aubrey Plaza, and Zoey Deutch. And since fans ofRick & Mortyclearly enjoy laughing at non-ordinary family situations, this flick has made the list, too.
Of course, if anyone hasnt seen A Nightmare on Elm Street, they should. This popular flick was released in 1984, and it was written and directed by Wes Craven.

Everyone is familiar with Freddy Krueger, and Rick & Morty even has its own version of this scary movie villain! So while the tones of these two works are very different, it is still worth considering.
Another horror to consider, one that isviewed to be a true classic, is Frankenstein from 1931. It was based on Mary Shelley's novel from 1818, it told the story of a scientist who created a being out of body parts, and it starred Boris Karloff as Frankenstein's monster.
This is the most well-known mad scientist of all, and this story has led to the creation of similar and even scarier or more surprising tales such as Ricks
In 1999, the show South Park got its own film, which was called South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. It featured Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick sneaking into an R-rated movie, as well as a side plot involving Satan and Saddam Hussein.
While the humor in these two shows can differ, many people who watch Rick & Morty also watch other popular adult cartoons, such as this classic.

From a tiny Texas town of 300, I made my way to the University of Texas at Austin to study journalism, which spurred me on to write for publications like New Yorks Resident Magazine, Austin Home and Us Weekly and to cover events such as South by Southwest, Austin Film Festival and New York Fashion Week. Now, I have my own brand, and I'm able to create social media posts, press releases, news pitches and more. When I'm not writing, I'm probably playing with my cat, vacationing with my family or watching Netflix with my husband.
