40 Movies Nobody Ever Talks About, But Are Cult Classics According To People In This Online Group
The rule is that if a movie is good, it will become popular because people will be talking about it. Then they will be able to share their opinions on it, what they liked and what they didn’t like, was it like they expected it to be, but there are exceptions to this rule.
There are movies that some individuals consider to be the best they have ever seen, but it seems that others haven’t even heard of them. It’s a shame that good movies with interesting plot lines and good acting work aren’t seen by more people, but Reddit user darkweirdvalley probably changed that by asking “What’s a movie you love that you swear no one ever talks about like the world has forgotten it?”
More than 35k people joined the thread to share what they think are cinematographic masterpieces more people should know of and to find like-minded people. It’s safe to say that the movies they mentioned are not forgotten and they finally found someone to talk to about them.
Upvote the answers that you agree with the most and if you think that there are more movies that deserve more recognition, let us know in the comments!

The Birdcage
ThatsMyOnionJerk added:
The Birdcage is comedy royalty in my mind. I mean, Robin Williams, Nathan Lane, Diane Weist, Gene Hackman, Calista Flockhart, Christine Baranski and Hank Azaria!
Everyone played their roles to perfection, either over the top yet endearing, or the straight man role that facilitated the comedy.
Seriously im going to watch it now.

If you like this movie there's a chance you'll also like "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar". It's about a trio of drag queens that get stuck in tiny town out in the boonies and improve everyone's lives. Robin Williams makes a tiny appearance!

Secret Garden (1993)
alpevado shared:
Funny story with this one. I studied the book at school, so I had read the book a lot. That year for my birthday the movie came out around the same time. I have a fractured family structure so none of them really talk to each other. For some reason nearly every family member decided that they wanted to take me to a screening of the film. So I saw the film nearly 7 times in the matter of two weeks.
My grandma was one of the last, I didn’t have the heart to tell her I had already seen it 6 times already. We were sitting and watching and unintentionally, I was saying the lines word for word. My grandma noticed and she asked “have you seen this already?” I responded “no, it’s just very accurate to the book” to which she replied “wow, you must have read the book many times.

Random fact about this movie. It is one of only 2 movies about submarines (the other is k19: the widowmaker) that people who served on subs find accurate. Not the submarine itself in this case, just the examples of the crazy ass people who volunteer to serve on them and how interactions between enlisted and officers work on subs. Did 6 years in sub service and this movie was actually a favorite on the boat for movie night

I was on subs. I always use this movie as an accurate portrayal.

I was a submariner and i always point to this movie to give people an idea of what it is like to serve on one as all the personalities of each character was pretty spot on. Actual operations i go with the widowmaker or crimson tide (i served on a los angeles class attack sub but hunt for red october has too many inaccuracies imo plus it is from the cold war era which isnt anything like how boats operate now anyways, at least not east coast ones)

Zathura 100% If you haven't seen it, it's like Jumanji but in space, it's made by the same creator, if you have seen it, tell me im not alone

Adding onto this, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and it's sequel, The Next Level. I thought it'd be crap because it's a reboot, but dear god was is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

Its IS Jumanji in space. Its like Blue Avatar and Dances With Wolves. 90% identical plot.
Winter 3 years ago
Chris Van Allsburg wrote Jumanji and Zathura. In the book, some new kids pick up the Jumanji game right after the first kids dump it off. The new kids aren't attracted to "a jungle adventure", so the game tailors itself to entice these kids to play it. This, "Zathura, a space adventure".

Psychological_Bat865 said: Treasure Planet Humble-Grumble added: This is my favourite movie of all time and it definitely defined a large part of my childhood. The art kicked off my interest in drawing (usually bad OCs, but it was fun); the aesthetic and story inspired my imagination to run wild; the awesome soundtrack fueled those fantasies (hello, maladaptive daydreaming); it got me to read Treasure Island; and it started an interest in sci-fi, fantasy, and, oddly, naval history...the latter bringing me closer to my dad, who's really into naval history. Treasure Planet meant so freakin' much to me that it's almost embarrassing when I look back on it (I was shamefully obsessed). It also had a Hell of a cult following online. Yet 90% of the time I mention it to someone, I get a blank look. That whole era of animated films is vastly underappreciated.

Robin Williams and Edward Norton playing completely against-type in such a hilarious way. Catherine Keener is excellent. Danny Davito and Harvey Fierstein are perfectly cast and perfectly hilarious. I just don't f*****g get it! 42% on Rotten Tomatoes! What the F**k? WHAT THE F**K? This movie's lack of success proves to me that I do not understand the world. I do not understand art. This movie is brilliant and hilarious, and I do not understand why more people don't see this.

This movie was ahead of its time. As is the case for movies of its ilk. Barney was still HUGE at the time and for the most part, retired children's tv hosts were still revered and their images and legacy protected. Now the movie plays almost like a documentary considering some of the secrets that have come out about people that were on children's programming.
