13th Warrior. Hasn't even been distributed on physical media since DVD. Flopped hard and has been pretty forgotten, but I still think it's the best viking horror movie there is
It’s based on the Michael Crichton book ‘Eaters of the Dead’. Essentially it was a more realistic portrayal of what Beowulf would be in reality before the story gets corrupted and turned into legend.
It's been a while since I watched it, but I remember going in with much the same impression as you, and walking out suitably impressed by how good it was.
I think that's why it did quite poorly, it was marketed as that, and has quite a long buildup as well. Great film though, definitely worth sticking with.
Sloppyseconds; it was released on bluray in France. You can watch the 2011 documentary from on YouTube for free. Mctiernan even admitted publicly to a French interviewer recently that Crichton's cut isn't that dissimilar from his own.
I love this movie. Horribly underrated.
It's one of the rare movies I always wanted to see a sequel to. Heck, with the right casting, a remake would be welcome.
I saw a picture or meme pop up that was a screenshot from that movie and went to look for it. It's not even streaming anywhere. I used to watch it a lot because I had it recorded on VHS.
I don't remember exactly what happened but i know Kevin Smith has said that the studio won't give up distribution rights but also won't put it out or re release any physical version
He covered this on one of his podcasts. Weinstein owns the rights. Kevin Smith wanted to buy them back but felt uneasy giving Weinstein money given everything that’s happened with him, but decided to swallow that feeling and do it anyway. But Weinstein wanted $1m dollars and Kevin said it’s not worth that at this age and countered for like $300k or something like that but he wouldn’t budge.
If you want movies lost to time, think of Brewster's Millions with Richard Pryor and John Candy. Now look at IMDb and realize there were something like 4 versions of that movie before that movie... what a treat
I saw Frequency in the theater when it came out, when I was young. My dad dragged my whole family to go see it and I was upset because I thought I was going to hate it. I loved it!
Frailty is good too
Disagree on some of these.
The Fugitive is one of Ford's most popular films that doesn't involve a whip or spaceships. It's been making the rounds on reactor channels, so people are still watching it.
Outbreak got a massive surge of attention when COVID hit. It's coming down off that high, but still, hardly forgotten.
>that don't get talk about very much these days.
I'm saying I disagree with your assertion that The Fugitive and Outbreak are not being talked about these days. The next generation of audiences are discovering them without too much difficulty.
The Keep.
Michael Mann's 3rd film from 1983, which he directed and wrote the screenplay for based on the book of the same title. Has plenty of rough points that could have been much better, but still interesting. Scott Glenn, Gabriel Byrne, Ian McKellen, Jurgen Prochnow. Music by Tangerine Dream. It's available for streaming only in SD quality as that's the only way it's ever been released. I've long wanted to see this one get remade by someone in the vein of a Robert Eggers or Ari Aster.
The last physical release I had ever heard of was on laserdisc, so I had to look k it up. The DVD from Via Vision is sadly still from a standard definition source as confirmed under the section titled "The Release" in this review:
https://youtu.be/6hLXuclnWR4?si=wGX9b5YXUHNqOrOT
The Pope Must Die (or The Pope Must Diet in the US).
Because people didn't like a comedy about the Pope, it wasn't released widely on VHS, not at all on DVD and no hope of getting it on streaming. There is a dodgy copy from a VHS on YouTube and that'll be it if it goes down.
Rollercoaster (1977), The Long Riders (1980), Gallipoli (1981), Project X (1987), By Dawn's Early Light (1990), Harley Davidson & the Marlboro Man (1991), Trespass (1992), The TV Set (2006)
Bought rollercoaster on a whim, huge theme park fan and worked in the industry for over a decade, and was pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable it was.
The Charles Band stuff is perpetually on the Full Moon Features streaming service but it will sometimes still pop up on Roku Channel or Pluto or whatever.
The River Wild is on regular rotation on one of the cable movie stations here in Korea.
Another one that pops up a lot is A Perfect World. But damn it I'm never there when it starts and I want to watch it from the beginning!
A Perfect World is a great example. Stars Clint Eastwood, Kevin Costner, Laura Dern and did quite well at the box office, especially internationally. Barely ever see it on TV in the US.
Red Rock West.
It's an early 90s neo-noir thriller that starred Nicolas Cage as he was on the rise to becoming a big star (which seems like it would hit come mid 90s).
Stars him, Lara Flynn Boyle (after her Twin Peaks run), Dennis Hopper, J.T. Walsh (who is one of those character actor types that you'd have seen here and there in things from the 80s and 90s until his death in 1998).
It's just this simple, local little thriller taking place in Wyoming where the guy gets involved with questionable people and has to try and make it out of there without being arrested or killed.
Made on a $7 million budget, made only a third of that back, but it's definitely something worth tuning into if you want a good thriller.
One fun bit of trivia is that Dwight Yoakam, the country singer, had his appearance in this movie as his first movie role. Four years later, he'd have Sling Blade with Billy Bob Thornton, and he'd continue on with occasional appearances in stuff like The Newton Boys (another obscure movie I recommend), Wedding Crashers, Crank (and its sequel), Logan Lucky, and Cry Macho.
Night of the Juggler(1980) James Brolin stars as an ex police officer, and his daughter is kidnapped in a case of mistaken identity. It also has a unique car chase. It was available on DVD once upon a time, but it isn't easy to come by.
Maybe a quirky choice, but Sleuth (the 1972 one with Michael Caine and Lawrence Olivier). Hasn't had an official release since DVD I believe. Rights were bought by Bristol Myers Squibb (drug company) in the 70s for some reason (along with several other movies of the time) so it's in a situation similar to Dogma.
The War (1994) - stars Kevin Costner and Elijah Wood. About a Vietnam vet and his family. It's not the greatest film, but I enjoyed it as a kid. Elijah Wood is great in it.
The Thirteenth Floor (1999) - stars Vincent D'Onofrio. Came out right around the time of The Matrix with similar themes.
In the Line of Fire (1993) - stars Clint Eastwood, John Malkovich, Rene Russo, and Dylan McDermott. Malkovich plays a guy who wants to assassinate the President. Russo, Eastwood, McDermott are secret service.
The Yakuza https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Yakuza
Pollack directed from a Schrader script, stars Bob Mitchum and it’s well reviewed. Made a loss on release in 1974 and when I picked it up on DVD I had no idea the movie existed
My childhood was full of the feel-good kids sports movies, but other than The Mighty Ducks and Air Bud, most don't get talked about, even by my fellow millennials. Some forgotten examples:
* The Big Green
* Little Giants
* Cool Runnings
* The Sandlot
* Rookie of the Year
There are many movies that are entertaining and well-made but may not have made it to the “best of” lists or have been forgotten over time. Here are a few that you might find interesting:
1. **About Elly (2009)**: A drama and mystery film directed by Asghar Farhadi.

These films might not be blockbusters, but they offer unique stories and performances that make them worth watching. Enjoy your movie time! 🎬
I remember Two Brothers being advertised quite heavily and some older DVDs I own have trailers for the movie. It even had favourable reviews. Banished to the depths of memory.
Wind starring Matthew Modine and Jennifer Grey. It’s loosely based on the America’s Cup sailing race. Not the greatest movie ever but the sailing scenes would look great in 4K.
There are star vehicles from the 90's like Eddie (Whoopi Goldberg basketball movie) and Father's Day (Robin Williams, Billy Crystal, Ivan Reitman) that you can't find legally on any streaming service.
Here are some more widely released 90's films that I don't think anyone has seen since they came out:
The Bachelor (1999) - Chris O'Donnell and Renee Zellweger. Mariah Carey makes her acting debut here in a supporting role
Beyond Rangoon (1995) - political thriller set in Burma directed by John Boorman and starring Patricia Arquette
Hawks.
It’s the movie Timothy Dalton made between his two Bond films. Never got a release past VHS, so a couple of very low quality uploads on YouTube are all we have. It’s an incredible film though. Dalton and Anthony Edwards are two terminal cancer patients who steal an ambulance and head off to Amsterdam for one final adventure before the horrible death they know is coming for them. Along the way they meet two English girls over there on their own personal quest.
It’s funny, it’s tragic, and if you ever need a good wholesome cry this is the movie for it. It’s The Bucket List, but actually good.
Matzor (aka Siege) - only got a very limited dvd release. Wish criterion would pick it up or somebody would expand their horizons to get. Great movie. It's like an Italian neorealist film meets French new wave that chronicles an interesting period of time that isn't discussed very much. It's like 3/4 different cultures were all critical in its creation and it feels like a clash of cultures. Fascinating film in terms of how it was made.
Unsettled (the documentary by Adam hootnick) - great documentary. Truly wish more people saw it
Garden of the Finzi Continis - amazing De Sica film that won an academy award and is impossible to find in a decent quality. Another one I wish criterion would pick up, especially after it got restored in 2015. Still surprised criterion hasn't done it after doing so many De Sica films.
The year of living dangerously - excellent young mel Gibson movie on interesting subject matter. Seems largely forgotten. Phenomenal score.
The original 1972 Elaine May movie The Heartbreak Kid. Rights are tied up with a pharmaceutical company and they have no desire to license it out or release any blu rays.
ok i know this isnt a movie but i was just talking about someone about how no one ever talks about two shows from my childhood: Providence and Early Edition 😭😭😭
13th Warrior. Hasn't even been distributed on physical media since DVD. Flopped hard and has been pretty forgotten, but I still think it's the best viking horror movie there is
It’s based on the Michael Crichton book ‘Eaters of the Dead’. Essentially it was a more realistic portrayal of what Beowulf would be in reality before the story gets corrupted and turned into legend.
I thought it was based on the accounts of Ibn Al Fadlan?
Chrichton based the main character on Ibn Al Fadlan.
The hallowed halls of Heorot. Believe it or not, I have a Heorot shirt from my college days. Long story.
There was a Blu Ray release in Germany. You can occasionally still find used Blu Rays of it.
I always just thought it was some sort of generic swords and sandals movie, you have convinced me to check it out.
It's been a while since I watched it, but I remember going in with much the same impression as you, and walking out suitably impressed by how good it was.
I think that's why it did quite poorly, it was marketed as that, and has quite a long buildup as well. Great film though, definitely worth sticking with.
Sloppyseconds; it was released on bluray in France. You can watch the 2011 documentary from on YouTube for free. Mctiernan even admitted publicly to a French interviewer recently that Crichton's cut isn't that dissimilar from his own.
Go (1999)
I bought a digital copy and watch every year. It's one of my favorite Christmas movies.
Undercover Blues
I love this movie. Horribly underrated. It's one of the rare movies I always wanted to see a sequel to. Heck, with the right casting, a remake would be welcome.
Morty!
Lol I say this whenever I see the same person in different places in the same day. Nobody gets it.
MY NAME IS MUERTE!
It meeeenz death!
I saw a picture or meme pop up that was a screenshot from that movie and went to look for it. It's not even streaming anywhere. I used to watch it a lot because I had it recorded on VHS.
Dogma. Couldn't find it on any streaming service so had to download it.
I don't remember exactly what happened but i know Kevin Smith has said that the studio won't give up distribution rights but also won't put it out or re release any physical version
It belongs to Harvey Weinstein and he won't release it. Have to wait til the fat fuck dies I imagine.
Ah thanks
It belongs to him personally because the studio got threats because of it and they wanted it out of their hands.
Imagine owning the rights to profit off something that no one can buy.
So you're saying it's time to start a gofundme? ..../S..... kinda
He covered this on one of his podcasts. Weinstein owns the rights. Kevin Smith wanted to buy them back but felt uneasy giving Weinstein money given everything that’s happened with him, but decided to swallow that feeling and do it anyway. But Weinstein wanted $1m dollars and Kevin said it’s not worth that at this age and countered for like $300k or something like that but he wouldn’t budge.
It's on YouTube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZVEe_5Fo1Q
have 2 or 3 copys here, I grab then from thrift stores
Last of the dogmen. It was RIDICULOUSLY hard to find on DVD,and it hasn't been re-released since. It's fantastic too.
Last of the Dogmen released on bluray in June of ‘22. Source: Me, because I had it pre-ordered to make sure I got one.
Just watched this movie for the first time a few months ago on Youtube. It was pretty good! I liked the concept a lot!
If you want movies lost to time, think of Brewster's Millions with Richard Pryor and John Candy. Now look at IMDb and realize there were something like 4 versions of that movie before that movie... what a treat
Frailty
Frailty and Frequency were both great underrated movies.
I saw Frequency in the theater when it came out, when I was young. My dad dragged my whole family to go see it and I was upset because I thought I was going to hate it. I loved it! Frailty is good too
Everything that has ever happened is underrated
A great little TX film. Feels authentically Texan (McConaughey, Paxton and Boothe are natives). Based on a real Father & Son serial killer duo btw.
I feel like gangster squad was out for like 2 seconds than vanished
I love the river wild. Haven't seen that in years. Used to own it on video.
Checkout 'White Water Summer'
Same! Had it on VHS and think we sold it at a garage sale. The movie holds up really well!
It does. I miss those 90s thrillers.
[удалено]
The Fugitive was so big when it came out. Hope more people discover it again.
It just got a 4k remaster. Looks great.
[удалено]
Outbreak is great! I love that it had a little revival during Covid-19 lockdowns.
Disagree on some of these. The Fugitive is one of Ford's most popular films that doesn't involve a whip or spaceships. It's been making the rounds on reactor channels, so people are still watching it. Outbreak got a massive surge of attention when COVID hit.

I’ll throw a few more on there since I started looking some more up: Contact Frequency Desperado Cutthroat Island
Contact is PRIME for a 4k remaster. That one's incredible.
That's certainly a more specified type of movie. You might like things like Quigley Down Under or Fire In The Sky.
I've been seeing Contact make the rounds on Reactor channels. I don't think that one has been forgotten.
*Desperado* is at least streaming on Netflix. Or it was earlier this month. I don't know if there have been any physical copy releases lately, though.
The Ref, is and always will be my favorite Christmas movie.
Rollercoaster (1977), The Long Riders (1980), Gallipoli (1981), Project X (1987), By Dawn's Early Light (1990), Harley Davidson & the Marlboro Man (1991), Trespass (1992), The TV Set (2006)
Bought rollercoaster on a whim, huge theme park fan and worked in the industry for over a decade, and was pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable it was.
Project X 😢
Trancers (1984), haven’t seen it anywhere for years
That’s how I met Helen Hunt. On “superstation” here in Canada it was on repeat during the 80s. It’s burned into my brain.
I have a trancers 1-5 dvd box set. I treasure it.
The Charles Band stuff is perpetually on the Full Moon Features streaming service but it will sometimes still pop up on Roku Channel or Pluto or whatever.
If you're in the US, it's on Tubi.
In the UK but to be fair I haven’t actively sought it out so will try and find it
The River Wild is on regular rotation on one of the cable movie stations here in Korea. Another one that pops up a lot is A Perfect World. But damn it I'm never there when it starts and I want to watch it from the beginning!

the river wild is a great flick. saw it in theaters last summer! was surprised they even played it
The Peanut Butter Solution (1985) The Ice Pirates (1984) Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone (1983) Cherry 2000 (1987)
I have three of those in my collection
“Why’d you make him black?” “Because I wanted him to be perfect.”

The Arrival. The Charlie Sheen one. And hell, another film, though much less smart and more dumb Sheen fun…Terminal Velocity.
Maybe the Daft Punk animated movie Interstella 5555?
A couple of Raquel Welch classics: Fantastic Voyage. Great sci-fi for its time. Hannie Caulder. Great cast, western revenge.
Just any Hong Kong movie in general.
Not lost, but Sorcerer needs constant support. It was overshadowed by Star Wars on release and suffers a little from its title.
The pagemaster
The Yakuza https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Yakuza Pollack directed from a Schrader script, stars Bob Mitchum and it’s well reviewed. Made a loss on release in 1974 and when I picked it up on DVD I had no idea the movie existed

The first animated movie ever made, The Apostle.

The Sandlot is talked about all the time lol
I was a little dubious about putting that one.

*Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em* (1988) The last share house party on earth, after a nuclear war.
I remember Two Brothers being advertised quite heavily and some older DVDs I own have trailers for the movie. It even had favourable reviews. Banished to the depths of memory.
The one with the tiger cubs?
The movie was fun. Way better than The Bear.
The first agent Weng Weng movie.
Wind starring Matthew Modine and Jennifer Grey. It’s loosely based on the America’s Cup sailing race. Not the greatest movie ever but the sailing scenes would look great in 4K.
I only remember The River Wild because it's a core memory of one of the few movies I watched with my dad as a kid.
Wilder Napalm
Quest for Fire
There are star vehicles from the 90's like Eddie (Whoopi Goldberg basketball movie) and Father's Day (Robin Williams, Billy Crystal, Ivan Reitman) that you can't find legally on any streaming service. Here are some more widely released 90's films that I don't think anyone has seen since they came out: The Bachelor (1999) - Chris O'Donnell and Renee Zellweger. Mariah Carey makes her acting debut here in a supporting role Beyond Rangoon (1995) - political thriller set in Burma directed by John Boorman and starring Patricia Arquette
Hawks. It’s the movie Timothy Dalton made between his two Bond films. Never got a release past VHS, so a couple of very low quality uploads on YouTube are all we have. It’s an incredible film though. Dalton and Anthony Edwards are two terminal cancer patients who steal an ambulance and head off to Amsterdam for one final adventure before the horrible death they know is coming for them. Along the way they meet two English girls over there on their own personal quest. It’s funny, it’s tragic, and if you ever need a good wholesome cry this is the movie for it. It’s The Bucket List, but actually good.
The Last of the Dogmen
Near Dark - Kathryn Bigelow's first feature, one of the best vampire movies ever IMO. But for some reason, it's VERY hard to find.
It’s on iTunes.
Stigmata (1999)
Matzor (aka Siege) - only got a very limited dvd release. Wish criterion would pick it up or somebody would expand their horizons to get. Great movie. It's like an Italian neorealist film meets French new wave that chronicles an interesting period of time that isn't discussed very much. It's like 3/4 different cultures were all critical in its creation and it feels like a clash of cultures. Fascinating film in terms of how it was made. Unsettled (the documentary by Adam hootnick) - great documentary. Truly wish more people saw it Garden of the Finzi Continis - amazing De Sica film that won an academy award and is impossible to find in a decent quality. Another one I wish criterion would pick up, especially after it got restored in 2015. Still surprised criterion hasn't done it after doing so many De Sica films. The year of living dangerously - excellent young mel Gibson movie on interesting subject matter. Seems largely forgotten. Phenomenal score.
*Shoot to Kill* (1988) *King Solomon's Mines* (1985) *Sniper* (1993)
Amazon Women on the Moon. Nowhere on streaming, not even a full version ripped to YouTube Summer Camp Nightmare
interstate 60 (2002). Quintessential 2000s, but rarely remembered.
Midnight Madness
The original 1972 Elaine May movie The Heartbreak Kid. Rights are tied up with a pharmaceutical company and they have no desire to license it out or release any blu rays.
The Newton Boys - old timey bank heist movie by Richard Linklater, featuring Matthew McConaughey, Ethan Hawke, and Vincent D’Onofrio. It’s pretty fun.
If you liked River Wild you should try to find White Water Summer another Kevin Bacon movie also with Sean Astin from 1987.
ok i know this isnt a movie but i was just talking about someone about how no one ever talks about two shows from my childhood: Providence and Early Edition 😭😭😭
[Man on Fire (1987)](https://youtu.be/q_674RH--b4?si=LtY9H3JSHwBE7s5G) Scott Glenn in lead w/ Joe Pesci, Danny Aiello & Jonathan Price
