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.

40 Movies Nobody Ever Talks About, But Are Cult Classics According To People In This Online Group I searched (this thread) and didn't find it (listed already), so (I decided to add)

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. Anyways, I enjoyed it.

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.

Best. Movie. Ever. We still watching this on a very regular basis in my house. But important - if you're new to the movie, you have to watch it 2-3 times. One time, and you'll miss most of the jokes. 2-3 times you start getting all the little things you missed. It is all-around comedic genius.

It sucks, but I’m convinced I’m the only fan of that movie. It was so different and dark. And the cast was amazing, it was a fantastic adult animated tale.

It just sucks no one is ever able to fan boy over it with me.

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.

Having started as a content creator that made articles for Bored Panda from scratch I climbed my way up to being and editor and then had team lead responsibilities added as well. So it was a pretty natural transition from writing articles and titles as well as preparing the visual part for the articles to making sure others are doing those same tasks as I did before well, answering their questions and guiding them when needed. Eventually I realized editing gives me the most enjoyment and I'm focusing only on that right now.

I think Pan's Labyrinth should be on this list. Not sure if it was actually really big outside the US, but when I talk about it in the US people get really interested until I tell them it's subtitled. But it was done so well I always end up forgetting that I'm reading subtitles and is hands down one of my favorite movies of all time

Can't list them all, so I'll just add a few that come to my mind right now. I'll be trying to select the films that were popular within the region, but seemingly not so much abroad (based on my own impression). Italy: Jack Frusciante è uscito dal gruppo, La guerra degli Antò, Momo alla conquista del tempo, anything with Aldo Giovanni and Giacomo. Korea: every film that has Won Bin in it, 200 Pounds Beauty, Oseam (not sure it was popular, but one of my personal favourites), Welcome to Dongmakgol, Jeon Woo-chi (the 2009 film), May 18, The Host (popular abroad, but seems forgotten), I'm a Cyborg But That's OK. Japan (focus on live action): Battle Royale 1 and 2 (okay they were popular abroad too but they feel kinda forgotten), any film directed by Takeshi Kitano, The Twilight Samurai, Linda Linda Linda, Taste of Tea, Electric Dragon 80,000v. Hong Kong: anything directed by Stephen Chow, Cocktail. Taiwan: Eternal Summer. And... that's it for now. I might come back with more.

The Court Jester is one of my favorite old films! I love that it's on this list! Danny Kaye was such a talent and a master of physical comedy. His wife wrote all the songs for the movie and the musical sequences were just so much fun! Plus, you have a young Angela Lansbury and Glynnis Johns who are both fantastic as a spoiled princess and a rebel spy, respectively. This is the film that coined the expression: " Get it? Got it. Good!". Definitely a classic! 🙂

Silent, but you soon forget you’re reading as well cuz really good. And My Man Godfrey with Carol Lombard is so funny.

I've been tracking down older kids movies like Second Hand Lions, Flight of the Navigator, Fly Away Home, Holes. I don't like to be a "kids these days" kind of person, but I really haven't found kids movies these days that have the same slow plot and character development. Everything is so bright and noisy and has micro-second shots and it all goes really fast. I feel like it's not great for kid's attention spans. I can only think of a few newer kids movies that are slower like that, if anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them. "We Can Be Heroes" on Netflix was pretty good. (Side note: DO NOT watch Bridge to Tarabithia without first reading through a plot summary and deciding if your kids can handle it. My kids did not. I didn't know. It was a bad night.)

If any of these films are not in your library, kick yourself in the ass or face whichever is closer or bigger and go get them. This list is startlingly, astoundingly perfect in its inclusivity and I have probably never seen such a close to perfect list in all my born days. Is this the months long labor of a madman or the momentary inspiration of a saint? Must be both. GET THESE FILMS. If you already have them all, a blessing upon your house, even though I deny that there is anything that provides blessings.

One Crazy Summer. One of John Cusack's lesser known 80's movies. My brothers and I have been obsessed with it our whole lives. We freak whenever we encounter someone that knows it.
