31 "Unpopular" Movies That People Love

"Ryan Reynolds is so good in it, but most people I know have never even heard of it."

—User1982

"While it seems to be enjoying a bit of a resurgence recently, you have to remember that this movie was called 'stupid' by so many people when it first came out. I have always loved it! It's unrealistic, but it's super, super fun! Defending National Treasure in 2005 was my full-time job!"

—colleend9

"It's such an awesome movie with some killer twists and turns. A heartbreaking movie, but worth the watch!"

—Lucky96

"It’s a super-fun kids movie made by the Monty Python team. It’s about a little boy being taken on an adventure by 'time bandits,' and all the zany problems they run into. It has some really big-name stars, and it’s very quotable!"

—kirstemq

"It’s my favorite movie of all time. It’s actually a Christmas movie, but I watch it every few months. I only know of a few people who have watched it, but it’s terrific and features a lot of A-listers, like Diane Keaton, Craig T. Nelson, Dermot Mulroney, Rachel McAdams, Clair Danes, Sarah Jessica Parker, AND Luke Wilson!"

—RoyallyEffed

"The one with Bruce Willis and Richard E. Grant. It's a dumb movie, but I'd watch it again!"

—whatever1977

"I highly recommend this. It's weird and sweet and so funny!"

—leticiamb

"The one with Brendan Fraser. It's a favorite of mine."

—leahmaries2

"Starring C. Thomas Howell, Juliette Lewis, and Eliza Dushku. It’s amazing, and literally nobody knows it exists!"

—standbyme-liliana-staygold

"It's entertaining and funny and doesn’t devolve into a moralizing 'lesson' about sex work."

—ZillaCat

"The one with Kevin Kline and Hayden Christensen. It’s such a good movie!"

—kirstenj4bba4855a

"I think the best part about this movie is that it’s based on a true story. Super funny and surprisingly sweet. It’s definitely dated, but it’s not horrible, and I still watch it at least once a year!"

—modernjellyfish31

"It's a Scottish high school Christmas zombie horror/comedy/musical. It is every bit as amazing and camp as it sounds, but with way better writing, singing, and acting than you'd expect, and a surprising amount of heart!"

—mikefalkstrom

"Sam Rockwell is in it, and it's just vey good!"

—Icepicker

"It’s so dirty and inappropriate, yet it’s done with puppets made by the Jim Henson Co., so you're thinking about Sesame Street but getting something VERY different."

—Phiarulz

"If only for Alan Rickman taking a 'plaintive piss' on the snooty guy's chair that he brought from France."

—luneursa1

"Speaking of underrated Tom Hanks movies, this is one of my favorites by him that nobody seems to have ever heard about."

—Zach f

"My favorite movie no one knows about. It's both a con movie and a boxing movie. It's exciting and violent and hilarious, it's got a great cast, and it absolutely sticks the landing with one of the best endings I've ever seen."

—Zooter

"It's in my top five favorite horror films of all time. It's got the right balance of drama, genuine creepiness, and camp. They reel you in emotionally before the big plot events pick up so that you understand — and even start excusing — the characters' questionable motives. It's one of those rare movies that don't need to be any longer or shorter. It's perfectly satisfactory."

—mallmoth

"The one with Lee Pace (of Pushing Daisies). Absolutely stunning scenery, and a really unique, beautiful story. I don’t know anyone else who has seen it, but I recommend it whenever I can."

—WanderWoman

"Just a wild, funny, creepy, irreverent film. What an adventure!"

—insaned

"Great movie. A couple of MINOR budget things because it’s a no-budget movie, but it’s fantastic. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry; there’s action, there's creepiness, there's scariness, there’s wholesomeness — it just hits all the emotions."

—insaned

"The one with Sylvester Stallone. It’s a fun movie!"

—carmelb44634f497

"No one ever knows this one. It’s set in the '60s and is about a group of girls who steal their friend for a weekend before her wedding in Myrtle Beach. I love every bit of it. I’m 38 and watched this with my parents a ton growing up!"

—amyp486418358

"Top-notch cast and story. I laugh, I cry, and nobody has ever heard of it."

—meaganhibbert1

"Please watch it so I can finally talk to someone about it!"

—mycatseesall

"One of my favorite movies ever. It’s so funny and sweet and kind of a weird premise in the beginning!"

—kwit

"It's a movie most people I talk to have never seen, but for me and my dad, it’s one of those movies that stick with you and color the way you see life afterward. Especially since about five years after it came out, we were in a similar family situation. A really profound movie for us."

"Madonna is in it, and I think it's by four different directors (each directing one of the 'rooms'). I know Quinton Tarantino is one of them. Weird movie that will definitely stay with you."

—leahlindes

"Literally nobody I know has ever seen it, and it has so many great lines! I can't find it anywhere to buy, either. Sometimes I think I made it up."

—bestwifeever

"It stars Daniel Radcliffe, Zoe Kazan, and Adam Driver. I don't know anyone else besides the people I watched it with who have even heard of it, never mind seen it. I didn’t have many expectations when I went to see it, but it quickly became one of my favorites!"
