Seriously. I realize I’m in the minority, but I’d love for them to continue from Tron: Legacy. That being said, I have zero interest in Jared Leto being anywhere near the project.

That wasn’t the only Robert Zemeckis movie released that year to be spoiled by the trailers. The other was Cast Away.

Nah, streamers have been shedding library content now for years and years because it doesn’t drive subscribers and they don’t want to pay for them. 

A decent-ish movie utterly spoiled by the marketing, which reveals what should have been a major twist at the halfway point of the movie.  Ugh.

I think you can make a case that Roland Emmerich’s entire filmography belongs on this list.

How the fuck is Twister not on this list?  That was a legit blockbuster (a lot of the movies on this list were middling performers at best) and dominated the pop cultural conversation that summer, until it completely escaped the public consciousness like it was swept away by its own titular weather-related disaster…

Streaming platforms are doing their best to make sure old movies are not forgotten because they do not want to pay for new content. (just making a joke)

Somewhat fun fact! What Lies Beneath was written by Agent Coulson himself, Clark Gregg and I saw it in the theaters. I went to the theater a lot in the early 2000's. 

Eric Bana has consistently been overlooked.  I dont know why he never caught on as a bigger star.  He is good in everything, even when it is bad.  Pitt is awful in this movie.  The studio leaned into Pitt as the big name star too much.  Bana was just amazing as Hector.

This list should be renamed, “Behold the power of international box office.” The bulk of these movies made solid, but not spectacular box office domestically but made 75 percent or more of their total gross overseas.

The reason nobody cares about the 1998 Godzilla is that the movie was a desperate attempt to capitalize on Jurassic Park fever - turning Godzilla into “biggest velociraptor ever.” Hell, the whole marketing campaign behind it laid it out pretty baldly - unsurprisingly, since The Lost World had just come out the year…

To anyone who hasn’t seen Over the Hedge: do. It’s a cracking cast, animation that’s cartoonishly (as opposed to “realistic”) fun in a way that’s been lost from CG movies in later years, and a corker of a Ben Folds soundtrack - I challenge you not to cry when “Family Of Me” starts up.

Still, a third Tron is in the works, with Jared Leto attached to star.

There’s definitely some bait on here:

Eraser is a great example. It was a Schwarzenegger action flick, which meant it was going to make a baseline amount of money if launched at the right time of year, but probably in the bottom half of his filmography.

There’s no way Con Air is forgotten. Nor, likely, is Runaway Bride or Slumdog Millionaire.

Beverly Hills Cop just had a pilot filmed (and dropped for a few reasons that may not include quality.) I’d argue that “Axl Foley,” and his theme, are still known, even if not as known.

I wonder how many of these movies were released when there was pretty much zero competition at the box office. If it’s the only new movie around, it’s going to be the one everyone goes to see.....

If you want to talk about forgotten, you know what movie came out a few months before that and made even more money? Crocodile Dundee.

Huh? I’ll agree that Ghostbusters and Back to the Future are bigger names. But Beverly Hills Cop seems hardly forgotten to me. It’s the essential Eddie Murphy persona.
