Nostalgia is a powerful thing, and our favorite streamer is reaping those benefits today. This week sees a 20-year-old Vin Diesel-led trilogy dominating the Netflix charts. According to Flixpatrol, Pitch Black is #6, The Chronicles Of Riddick at #7, and Riddick is #5 on the Netflix Top 10 Charts.

In the original film, a transport ship crashes and leaves its crew stranded on a desert planet inhabited by bloodthirsty creatures that come out during an eclipse.

Pitch Black was directed by David Twohy. The screenplay was written by David Twohy and based on a story by Jim Wheat and Ken Wheat. It starred Radha Mitchell, Cole Hauser, Vin Diesel, and Keith David.

Because of its success, Pitch Black spawned two sequels and even a couple of video games, so it is no surprise that Netflix acquiring all three films sent fans into orbit. Many stans are just happy to finally have the whole trilogy streaming somewhere.

See what Twitter is saying about the Riddick trilogy:

Netflix is so insane cuz what do you mean all 3 Riddick movies are in the top ten most watched films today on a service that has almost a quarter billion subscriptions
