What’s the antithesis of Arrested Development, Firefly or The Big Lebowski? Those may never have ‘found their audience’ but over time seemed to recognised by everyone. What are the deep cuts that you liked but it feels like everyone has completely forgotten they even existed.
Time Bandits
The Man from Earth is not forgotten, it has never been recognized. I’ve never seen such a great movie. The plot: a bunch of techers talking. That’s it. But that talk is mindblowing.
Just make sure to never - never - watch the sequal
Little Miss Sunshine
Hilarious indie comedy. I’ve never heard of anyone disliking it, but it also almost never gets brought up.
Mr Robot is a damn masterpiece and I don’t think I’ve ever participated in or heard a verbal discussion about it. But whenever it pops up in a thread or comment section there’s always tons of people giving it praise.
I watched the first season and found it cringe.

Hey, I think we found Kevin Smith’s account
Death Note, specifically for non-anime folks. It’s really the only anime that I think even anime haters can love.
While the quality is uneven, it’s still the #37 show on IMDb last I checked, and most people have never even considered watching it.
No spoilers please, in case anyone who reads this decides to give it a try.
Also, Steins;Gate.
The first time I watched death note was because some local restaurant had it being projected behind the bar when I went to get a late lunch at 2 pm. I still have no idea why they had it running, but I watched like 5 or 6 episodes before leaving.
Game Cube- Eternal Darkness
That games was a masterpiece.
Blade Runner 2049. Extremely highly rated, just wasn’t popular enough
Like, it’s fine, but I don’t feel like it was anything special?
If you’ve only seen it once, I’d recommend a rewatch. I feel like subsequent viewings just get better.
Darklands (Video game)
It came out in 1992. Set in the 15th century Holy Roman Empire / Germany. It’s a 4-character party isometric game that featuring real time combat, party members who aged and would die from old age, perma death, and fantastical elements based on historic folklore, Catholic saints, and alchemy.
Wow sounds super interesting. A bit like a precursor to Diablo?
The Truman Show. Very underrated, but its not brought up often.
I feel like if it’s made a big enough impression to have a mental health disorder named after it, it might not count.
Better Off Ted is still my favorite sitcom. Corporate came along and tried to pick up the mantle, but I still prefer Ted.
Yes! I was thinking of this when I wrote the question. I feel like it was great and just totally disappeared.
I kept thinking about it’s parody ads when all those ‘we’re in this together’ ads kept playing during the start of the pandemic.
All the damn Holocaust documentaries.
Farscape was an absolutely fantastic show with one of the best villains ever. Characters were well thought out, they had motivations you could understand and showed character growth. Highly recommend for anyone who hasn’t seen it.
