The Craft

The 1990s spawned some of the greatest movies in pop culture history. But while many were instant classics, some were always a bit under the radar.

At the time, the booming business of VHS as a format popularized not only renting movies as a weekend ritual, but an interest in indie and foreign language features as well. All of these factors and more spawned one of the greatest decades in the history of movies, with hits like Pulp Fiction, Goodfellas, Pretty Woman, Fight Club, Seven, and more.

But what about ‘90s movies with a more underground following? Below we list 32 cult classics from the 1990s you might have forgotten about.

32. Flirting With Disaster (1996)

Flirting With Disaster

In his sophomore feature as a director, David O. Russell demonstrates early promise of what would eventually be his signature hallmarks: Neurotic characters expressing anxieties through whip-smart dialogue and plots involving awful (and sometimes hilarious) mishaps. In Flirting With Disaster, a married man named Mel (Ben Stiller) embarks on a journey to finally meet his biological parents, with the help of a hot but incompetent adoption agent Tina (Téa Leoni). Not only do Mel and Tina begin to develop feelings for one another, but so does Mel’s wife Nancy (Patricia Arquette) with other men. Flirting With Disaster is a road trip comedy unlike any other, one that posits that the roads not taken are just as hilarious as the ones you’re on.

The Hard Way

Fresh from the Back to the Future trilogy, Michael J. Fox underwent some hilarious self-reflection in almost meta fashion with John Badham’s 1991 comedy The Hard Way. Michael J. Fox plays a young, spoiled Hollywood actor who seeks real credibility. In his mission to get the lead role of a hard boiled cop drama, he forcibly makes himself a partner to a fiery NYPD lieutenant (James Woods), who is in the midst of tracking down an elusive serial killer. Sandwiched between Fox’s blockbuster sci-fi trilogy and his later stardom as a sitcom lead, The Hard Way is virtually forgotten. But The Hard Way is surprisingly easy to vibe with.

28. Higher Learning (1995)

Higher Learning

While its messaging may come off awkwardly to modern eyes, Higher Learning still has something to teach. From the late director John Singleton, Higher Learning is a contemporary exploration of the uncomfortable co-existence between the white and Black American experiences, all of it contained in the pressure cooker environment of academia. The movie follows three incoming freshmen - friendly but naive white girl Kristen (Kristy Swanson), Black athlete Malik (Omar Epps), and alienated small town white male Remy (Michael Rapapor) - as they navigate their first year at fictional Columbus University. While all of Higher Learning is instructive, one of its most powerful story arcs belongs to Remy, whose (spoilers!) radicalization into white supremacy is chilling as it is prescient.

27. Mystery Men (1999)

Mystery Men

Before The Avengers, there were… well, these guys. Before superhero movies really evolved (at least for characters who weren’t Batman and Superman), there were a slew of offbeat superhero films that arose in the 1990s. Strangest of them all was Mystery Men, from commercial director Kinka Usher in his one and only film project. Loosely based on Bob Burden’s satirical Flaming Carrot Comics, Mystery Men tells of superhero rejects who must save Champion City when the heroic Captain Amazing is captured. Despite its large ensemble including Ben Stiller (who nearly directed the movie), Hank Azaria, William H. Macy, Janeane Garofalo, Greg Kinnear, Paul Reubens, Kel Mitchell, Eddize Izzard, and more, Mystery Men was kryptonite to critics and bombed at the box office. But its true legacy lies in its soundtrack, which introduced none other than Smash Mouth’s “All Star” to the world. It really is true that not all heroes wear capes.

26. 3 Ninjas (1992)

25. The Net (1995)

The Net

If You’ve Got Mail makes dial-up era internet a wholesome place to find love, The Net makes it out to be a scary underworld where you lose your identity. Sandra Bullock stars in this mid-90s techno-thriller as a systems analyst who finds her entire personal record wiped completely. These days we willingly put too much about ourselves online, but in these primitive days of the world wide web, movies like The Net warned us about hinging our entire existence in binary code. If nothing else, The Net is a great movie that shows Sandra Bullock at her best when she’s not driving runaway buses.

24. Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion (1997)

(Image credit: Buena Vista Pictures Distribution)

Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion

At the height of her fame on Friends, Lisa Kudrow co-starred in this delightful comedy about trying to maintain status even when everyone else has stopped trying. In Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion, best friends Romy (Mira Sorvino) and Michelle (Kudrow) hatch a scheme to appear more successful than they actually are at their tenth high school reunion. While social media has made people’s curiosity around people’s lives after high school a bit obsolete, Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion maintains a cult fandom after its endless replays on cable television throughout the 2000s.

20. The Craft (1996)

The Craft

If there’s one thing you can be sure of, it’s that teenagers love spooky stuff. In 1996, Robin Tunney, Fairuza Balk, Neve Campbell, and Rachel True teamed up for The Craft, about four outcasts at a religious high school who practice witchcraft only to suffer dire consequences. While critics weren’t too fond of The Craft, the movie quickly found a loyal audience of youths who vibed to its moody art direction and feminist messaging. The Craft is a huge part of the ‘90s teen movie canon, but it stands apart with its story of friendship that woefully falls apart.

Porco Rosso

Hayao Miyazaki is an auteur brimming with imagination, with films like Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Castle in the Sky, My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, and Howl’s Moving Castle helping popularize anime as an artform of prestige. But of all his movies, Proco Rosso is one of his most overlooked. Released in 1992, the movie follows a World War I ace turned freelance bounty hunter who hunts down air pirates in Italy. He notably cursed, forced to live life as an anthropomorphic pig. Nevertheless, the curse doesn’t stop him from taking over the skies. Indicative of Miyazako’s love for aviation, Proco Rosso shows that fighting facism doesn’t mean you can’t have attitude.

15. The Fifth Element (1997)

14. Welcome to the Dollhouse (1995)

Welcome to the Dollhouse

A dark coming-of-age comedy about adolescent isolation, Welcome to the Dollhouse stars Heather Matarazzo as Dawn Wiener, a seventh grade girl who lives a life largely ignored in suburban New Jersey. Left to wallow in the shallow existence of suburbia, Dawn tries to earn attention and stand out, only to be met with cruel indifference. Illustrative of ‘90s-era malaise, Welcome to the Dollhouse from writer/director Todd Solondz harshly reinforces the idea that the world isn’t necessarily mean, it’s just uncaring.

Dark City

When The Matrix hit it big in 1999, hipsters on vBulletin movie forums were quick to point others to Alex Proyas’ Dark City. William Hurt, Kiefer Sutherland, and Jennifer Connelly star in this neo-noir sci-fi, in which an amnesiac finds himself suspected of murder and becomes desperate to clear his name while finding out his true identity. Despite positive reviews, Dark City bombed hard at the box office. All these years after its release however, Dark City is now recognized for its arresting designs and moody atmosphere that feels just as plugged-in and anxious about our technological future as The Matrix was.

3. Johnny Mnemonic (1995)

Johnny Mnemonic

Before he hacked into The Matrix as Neo, Keanu Reeves was Johnny Mnemonic. Set in the then-futuristic year of 2021, Johnny Mnemonic follows a data courier (Reeves) who overwrites his own childhood memories to transport sensitive data for corporations via brain implants. While the movie was originally going to be a low-budget satire, Reeves’ stardom after Speed encouragedSonyto reanimate Johnny Mnemonic into a summer crowd pleaser, much of it after dramatic reshoots without director Robert Longo involved. While Johnny Mnemonic pales in comparison to The Matrix, it is still a mighty instance of mainstream cyberpunk artistry, and its overall paranoia over corporations brutally erasing our sense of selves eerily relevant years later.

1. Event Horizon (1997)

Event Horizon

Paul W.S. Anderson is synonymous, painfully so, with middling video game movies like Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil, and the sci-fi crossover franchise Alien vs. Predator. But in 1997, Anderson struck out with his own original feature with Event Horizon. Starring Laurence Fishburne, Kathleen Quinlan, Joely Richardson, and Sam Neill, Event Horizon takes place in 2047 to follow astronauts on a rescue mission to investigate the spaceship Event Horizon that has mysteriously reappeared near Neptune. A moody sci-fi horror in the spirit of Alien, Event Horizon has stood on its own to become a cult classic that is still generally, and woefully, overlooked in the canon of sci-fi. Fittingly though, Event Horizon is one of those movies that blips back into memory, waiting for you to rediscover it and find what’s contained inside.
