Forgotten films you remember -

I had totally forgotten about this one until I watched Johnny Mnemonic with some buds and we started talking about Bill & Ted, and whatever happened to Bill.
Because Happily Never After is bad even by bad film standards that even the grandmas who bought/rented it for their kids regretted doing so, so even Internet critics just want to forget it exists (like the concept could've worked, but the incompetency was just off the charts). ShogunGino of Infamous Animation did an episode about it, but I honestly don't know of anyone else who really wanted to talk about it.
Might just be me, but I swear no one talks about the Cardcaptor Sakura movies. They'll bring up the anime, but never the movies. The second one seems to be remembered a bit more since that's considered the best dub of anything Cardcaptors (since it was much more faithful to the original), but discussion of it is kinda non-existent.

The late 90's Leslie Nielsen movie Wrongfully Accused is probably my favorite spoof film of all time and is severely underrated in my book.
Honestly, it's probably one of the last great screwball parody spoof flicks to come out prior to the "Scary Movie" series that eventually gave us the genre-killing duo of Setzer & Freiburg.

Suburban Commando is a movie starring Hulk Hogan. It’s about aliens, Hogan is a star pilot or some shit, and it’s absolutely amazing and you should watch it.

I miss 'stupid humor' like Ace Ventura and Mel Brooks films. It seems like those just aren't made anymore. Weird Al is kind of in that same category, though I know he's technically still around.
Still several orders of magnitude better than Spy Kids 4D.
Oh, I actually remembered there's this one film my one brother really liked that no one seems to remember was a thing: Clockstoppers. I think I've seen it once and that was it, it's like the child-friendly Click except it's about hypertime. Nostalgia Critic talked about it a few years back, surprisingly enough.
I always was fond of Clockwatchers, a film from the 1990s about office work and temp workers. It was a pretty realistic film about how temp workers are treated in office work.
I liked the story, the actors, and the weird mellow feel that it had. The music in it was also something I enjoyed.

Oh, I remember it. I remember it because a couple months after I turned 14 my friend's mom wanted to give me the gift of movies at the drive-in, and I wanted to see Ice Age. But my friend pitched a fit and said Ice Age was for babies and Clockstoppers would be much more fun, age appropriate, and if I didn't let him tell his mom I wanted to see Clockstoppers we wouldn't see a movie at all. I should've refused, but the other movie was going to be The Scorpion King, which I did want to see, so I sucked it up. So after Scorpion King ended we drove to a different part of the drive-in area and watched Clockstoppers.
Mostly I spent the next hour and a half zoned out and bored out of my skull. The worst thing though is when it was over and his mom asked what we thought of the movie, my friend actually had the gall to try to pin it on me, said it was more for babies, but was "the type of think you enjoy". I was pissed and said it wasn't, and that I didn't even want to see that stupid movie in the first place. His mom was pissed because it was supposed to be my choice and didn't like that I was bullied out of having a choice.
One movie I never hear anyone talk about is the Robert Rodriguez movie Shorts: The Adventures of the Wishing Rock.
This movie was like if you took the tone of Spy Kids and the general idea of The Lego Movie. It was very odd, and I don’t know if I recommend it or not.

I'm not sure why we rented this movie from our video store since this was way before I got into slashers. I know I did not see it all the way through but since it is YouTube in its entirety, now I can.

Freaked is great but it goes up and down in popularity. For instance I remember when it was on T.V as a bizarre but fun cult classic, it died down and now everyone seems to be interested in it again because I see it on a lot of video sharing websites.
UHF still stands up and I find it more enjoyable than modern comedy movies/TV, Hell, does anyone remember the Cable Guy. Never seen it but it's not talked about much.
Why the hell do I remember all of the kids movies?

Prince of Egypt, fucking fantastic film that I almost never hear about, probably because fedora tipping and being more gruesome than the average Disney film.
I think Weird Al pretty much stays around in the wider pop culture as some kind of "grandfather clause" scenario. Partly due to the fact he's actually a nice guy, is apolitical, and his work almost always stays at a PG level (the Running With Scissors album and "The Night Santa Went Crazy" would be a PG-13) and it's also due to the fact he's savvy enough to not get stale.
There's a reason why he always times his albums to come out every three or four years and why his more recent singles didn't start coming out until a few years after Mandatory Fun was already out.
I'd love for the old-school goofball spoof movies to come back, but the problem is that Setzer and Freiburg pretty much killed the genre in the late 2000's with their shitty spin-offs of Scary Movie (Date Movie, Epic Movie, Meet The Spartans, etc.)
The Wayans Brothers have been trying to revive the genre by making parodies specifically aimed at black audiences (A Haunted House, 50 Shades of Black) but it's not that successful.
I loved the Prince of Egypt when I was a kid and IIRC, it was actually very popular when it came out in the late 90's and was still kinda popular in the early 2000's thanks to it being in every video store's Kids & Family section and being aired on cable a lot.
Now it's pretty much totally forgotten, which is weird because even non-religious people loved that movie when it came out. It's a damn good movie.
Baise-Moi. A French rape-revenge film with hardcore sex scenes. It was making the rounds as a midnight movie back in 2001 and I was dragged along to watch it. Despite the fact that it was a violent film, it was quite boring. There's a bunch of shootings that are repetitive except for one hilariously bad scene where one of the gals shoves a gun into a guy's ass and pulls the trigger. One of the actresses was a porn star and later on committed suicide. I don't think there's much of a cult following for this flick.
Crunchyroll was doing "movie nights" in theaters and they were showing The Sealed Card. Ended up buying some tickets for some theater I never heard of. Turns out it was on the south side of the city and we were the only non-black people there. Hell, we were the only ones there for the movie. So much for all those black weebs I keep on hearing about.
There's a lot of black weebs. They just don't watch Cardcaptor Sakura.
If it were DBZ, Naruto, One Piece, or My Hero Academia, that theater would be packed.
If it was DBZ or Naruto specifically, it'd be standing room only
Over the Hedge was the first film I saw in theaters.
Also, Happily Never After (which triggered some kind of visceral emotion within me) looks like it was made by the Igor people. Let me guess.

I heard that one's great, with good voice work. The soundtrack's great at least, from what I've heard.
