I love, love, love to watch movies.
And in my lifetime, I have taken in a great many films, some of which I feel like I'm the only one on Earth who remembers them.
With that feeling in mind, I asked the BuzzFeed Community to share the movies they felt were remembered by them and them alone, and let's just say the number of memories unlocked by these responses was joyfully staggering.
1. "Whatever It Takes, a teen movie that adapted Cyrano the same way 10 Things I Hate About You did Taming of the Shrew, and She’s All That did Pygmalion, with the twist of this one being two female love interests."
2. "The Stupids. It's about a naive family that ends up on ridiculous adventures due to countless misunderstandings. The humor is so wholesome and, of course, stupid."
3. "Bubble Boy starring Jake Gyllenhaal. No one outside of my family seems to have heard of this movie."
4. "Wild America! It was literally one of my family's favorite movies and no one ever seems to have any idea what I'm talking about."
5. "Gordy, Jungle 2 Jungle, and Casper: A Spirited Beginning."
6. "The Pest starring John Leguizamo. I quote this movie to this day. 'Love, peace, and chicken grease!'"
7. "Dead Man on Campus! Zack Morris goes to college!! Funny, dark, and touches on some heavy topics late in the film. Plus, Jason Segel, Linda Cardellini, and Alyson Hannigan all show up."
8. "Surf Ninjas! My husband and his brothers always talk about how much they loved that movie, but no one ever remembers it."
9. "Tuck Everlasting! I loved the book, and the movie is honestly kinda corny, but it’s a pretty good adaptation of the novel."
10. "Quest for Camelot. It had an absolutely STACKED voice cast (Cary Elwes, Jane Seymour, Céline Dion, Gary Oldman, and Pierce Brosnan, among others), but has been largely forgotten."
11. "Escape to Witch Mountain — the '90s version. Not the 1975 original, and not the 2009 Race to Witch Mountain with the Rock."
12. "The should-be '90s classic, All I Wanna Do (which has two other titles: The Hairy Bird, and Strike!) starring Kirsten Dunst, Gaby Hoffmann, Rachael Leigh Cook, Monica Keena, Heather Matarazzo, and many more."
13. "Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken (1991) and The Journey of Natty Gann (1985)."
14. "Erik the Viking was a movie I watched over and over that no one else seems to have heard of, and the plot is absolute insanity."
15. "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Great script and great performances by Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer. Each time I see it, I discover something new because it’s so fast-paced. People should really see it. It holds up."
16. "Lost & Delirious starring Jessica Pare and Piper Perabo."
17. "Paulie and Dunston Checks In were some of my top all-time faves that lots of people don’t seem to remember!"
18. There's this movie called Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland. This kid goes to sleep, wakes up in a castle, and is an honored guest. He's given a key but told not to open one door."
19. "Trading Mom. It's a 1994 semi-fantasy movie where these kids wish for a new mom and go to a 'mommy market' to pick a few to try out. Spoiler alert: they learn they loved their real mom all along. It has Sissy Spacek, Anna Chlumsky, and Andre the Giant, but no one watched it."
20. "Spacecamp! No one I know has heard of it and I can't find it anywhere."
21. "Grosse Pointe Blank starring John Cusack, Minnie Driver, and Dan Aykroyd. It's about a hitman who goes back to his 10-year high school reunion."
22. "There was a Hansel and Gretel movie with Howie Mandel, Dakota Fanning, Taylor Momsen, and a slew of comedians that was such a fever dream."
23. "This one is for the Gen X people. My sister and I seem to be the only ones who remember an animated movie called The Chipmunk Adventure, where the Chipmunks and Chipettes have to go around the world delivering diamonds. We were/still are obsessed."
24. "Muppet Classic Theater. My Nana always found the most bizarre movies that no one else seemed to know."
25. "Death to Smoochy, starring Robin Williams, Edward Norton, Catherine Keener, and a whole host of other amazing stars. Seems like no one else has heard of it."
26. "Franklyn. A visually striking British dark fantasy starring Ryan Phillippe and Eva Green, where everything turned out to be not quite as it seemed. I’ve yet to meet anyone who’s ever heard of it, but it was a really well-acted film with a surprisingly emotional payoff at the end."
27. "Prayer of the Rollerboys. Good luck even finding it. It came out in 1990 starring Corey Haim, yet virtually no one has seen it. It tells the story of a post-economic disaster US, and the takedown of a white supremacist gang of rollerbladers selling drugs."
Thanks to everyone who submitted their favorite movies! I had so much fun going through your responses. And if you have one you'd like to share, tell me about it in the comments! ❤️
