"No one ever knows what I'm talking about when I bring it up. It's so good! Michael Showalter, Michelle Williams, Elizabeth Banks, Peter Dinklage, Justin Theroux, Michael Ian Black, Paul Rudd, and so many more. It's about a guy who gets left at the altar. LOVE IT!"

You can watch the evidence of its existence here:
18.French Kiss (1995)
"It stars Meg Ryan and Kevin Kline. It was filmed in the '90s when Meg was America's sweetheart. So cute and fun. No one ever talks about it, and — every time I bring it up — no one knows what the hell I'm talking about."
You can watch the evidence of its existence here:
19.Earth Girls Are Easy (1988)
"I definitely feel like the only person who’s seen this. It's one of Jim Carrey’s earliest movies with an incredible cast, catchy as hell songs, and is a beautiful homage to '50s sci-fi with plenty of '80s campiness."
You can watch the evidence of its existence here:
20.Tremors (1990)
"Kevin Bacon and Reba! I introduce everyone I meet to it. It’s got amazing one-liners and the right amount of '50s monster movie magic."
You can watch the evidence of its existence here:
21.Baby Boom (1987)
"Anyone remember this?! With Diane Keaton? I watched it on repeat back in the day, and my husband (we’re the same age) has never heard of it."
You can watch the evidence of its existence here:
22.Indecent Proposal (1993)
"I love, love, LOVE this movie, but almost no one has heard of it. Demi Moore, Robert Redford, and Woody Harrelson. I love the casting, the chemistry, the story, the fashion of that period...so good and so heartbreaking!"
You can watch the evidence of its existence here:
23.Rushmore (1998)
"It's one of my favorite movies. I think it’s Wes Anderson’s second film? Jason Schwartzman played a private school student who became friends with Bill Murray, who played a depressed business owner — until they both fall for the same woman. Then, their retaliation against each other keeps escalating until it gets completely out of hand. It’s less twee than Anderson’s other movies."

24.Welcome to the Dollhouse (1995)
"That movie was so weird, but, as a young teen, I loved it."
You can watch the evidence of its existence here:
25.Heart and Souls (1993)

You can watch the evidence of its existence here:
26.Blowdry (2001)
"Alan Rickman, Natasha Richardson, Josh Hartnett, Rachael Leigh Cook, and Bill Nighy. It's about a barber in Northern England who enters a hairstyling competition with his son and ex-wife. Hilarity and heart ensued. A must-see for Alan Rickman fans, or anyone who likes dramedies with a random Heidi Klum appearance."

27.And finally: The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982)
"Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds in all their ‘80s glory, and Dolly singing her original version of 'I Will Always Love You' is just perfection."
