Whoops! We accidentally put Event Horizon twice, but that's because it's totally worth a rewatch. What other box office bombs are totally worth it?

I own it and several others on this list on DVD. Good list, but there's a few worth mentioning. The remake of Night of The Living Dead is fantastic and was a gem from 1990. The last Boyscout is an underated action and comedy staring Bruce Willis. Universal Solider was another underated action-packed film that really was pretty big when it came out. People Under The Stairs was Wes Cravens' work in the 90's that showed that he could make horror that was also based on social commentary like the LA riots, which were going on at the time. I like that you have Peter Jackson's early films like Dead Alive, but The Frighteners really showed Jackson's ability to adapt to great visual effects. There's many others I can think of that I personally own today because they were such good films that I know I will want to watch again. Lots of great movies actually came out in the 90s. Dark City was actually being filmed on the same lot as The Matrix, but you seem to forget about The 13th Floor, which does something similar. I don't think any of those ideas would have come about without Ghost In The Shell, one of my personally favorite anime films from the 90's of all time. Strange Days, which I used to own, doesn't take place in the near future it's in 1999 on new year's eve which was the future when the film came out.

The love for Galaxy Quest that turned it into a cult classic grew organically over the years. Even if the studio hyped it when it came out, it still might have taken a while to grow into what it is today. Oh -- and besides Alan Rickman and Sigourney Weaver, you can't forget Sam Rockwell and Tony Shalhoub rounding out the cast. Plus Enrico Colantano and smaller roles by Rainn Wilson, Missy Pyle, and Justin Long.

Dark City was much more cerebral than Matrix was. Matrix rand with the light idea of being stuck in a manipulated environment and used it as a springboard to make some truly amped up action sequences. Any deep questions into the logic behind anything fell flat, but it was fun and action packed. That is why it did so much better then Dark City, which ran more like a Hitchcock film or Gumshoe Noir with a scifi twist. It was more about the head game.

The Rocketeer fictionalized history, in this case WWII. That rarely works. Captain America wouldn't work if it was set in 1943. Science fiction + history is generally a bad combination. That was a genre in the 1960's, for example 10,000 Leagues under the Sea. Rocketeer was 30 years away from that. Haven't you noticed we have decades of the same genre? Science fiction 1970s, 1980s was the action hero, 1990's kind of mixed it up, we've been in the super hero genre forever now.

I watched so many of these films in the theater and loved them from the moment I saw them. I've tried to share them with others, but other people have never really liked them as much as I do.

I'd say 'Ed Wood' is a must see movie.

Galaxy Quest is still one of my favorites. Born in 74, I came up watching reruns of lost in space/land of the giants etc , so GQ was right up my alley

Strange days still is one of my favorite movies of all time. Brilliant.

This list might well have just been a 'favorites' list for me growing up as a 90's kid

It says a lot about the sci-fi genre that three of the greatest science fiction movies ever made are on this list.

*Galaxy Quest is THE BEST Star Trek Movie ever created!!!* It has everything and I still watch it every few months. Each time, I enjoy it as if it were the first time. 🤗🥰

What a well compromised and analyzed list of some of my favorites!

"I kick ass for the lord". Is the best line. I've seen most of these in the theatres.

Galaxy Quest. One of the best parodies ever made. Sean of the Dead is right there too.

I've noticed that many of the movies I go to the theatre to see don't make it in the box office. I saw Mystery Men, the Rocketeer, The Hudsucker Proxy, and Galaxy Quest when they came out, and loved each of them.
