Movies We Love But Everyone Else Forgot
The same movies seem to pop up over and over again on lists of "the best" films, and perhaps overlap with your own favorites. What about those other movies you watched growing up, but probably wouldn't find on any Top 10 (or even Top 100) list - the ones everyone except you forgot about? Maybe as a kid you had a few VHS tapes you watched over and over, or you watched a movie multiple times on a cable channel during a a particularly impressionable weekend.
When you tell people these films are your favorites, perhaps they give you puzzled looks. But surely you aren't the only one who considers them classics.Â
From Redditor u/Lordmorgoth666:
I showed my kids that movie ([they were] 12 and 15 at the time), and that scene when the cook farts during silent operation, my daughter legitimately pissed herself laughing and my son was in pain from laughing so hard.
Think I’m gonna put it on again this weekend.
Forgotten favorite?From Redditor u/Advsoc1:
I probably wore this movie out as a child.
From Redditor u/OdinsWolf32:
I still watch this. Sometimes when my wife asks me to do something I say, "Compliance."
Forgotten favorite?From Redditor u/moldylemming:
Batteries Not Included.
It's a cute little '80s movie about some alien robots who took up residence in this old apartment complex, and when the residents are threatened with eviction so the place could be torn down, the robots help the tenants, and the tenants help the robot aliens. Anyway, I enjoyed it.

I just assumed no one would say this since I've never found anyone that knew what I was talking about. I still have a copy of it on VHS ..
The baby robots have to be about the cutest thing I've ever seen in a movie.
Forgotten favorite?From Redditor u/ellejaysea:
Grosse Pointe Blank. Hitman goes to high school reunion.
And Redditor u/ty88:
...what am I going to say? "I killed the president of Paraguay with a fork. How've you been?"
Forgotten favorite?From Redditor u/Cup-Mundane:
A Fish Called Wanda. I don't know anyone irl, under the age of 40, that knows this movie! It's one of the funniest movies ever. My favorite Kevin Kline movie, hand[s] down!
And Redditor u/HicJacetMelilla:
Let me just correct a few things, okay? Aristotle was not Belgian, the principle of Buddhism is not "every man for himself," and the London Underground is not a political movement.
