**The Thirteenth Year (1999)**
A lesser-known Disney Channel movie that became a personal favorite, *The Thirteenth Year* tells the story of Cody, a teenage boy who, on his 13th birthday, discovers he’s the son of a mermaid. As he begins to develop aquatic abilities and grapples with his identity, Cody’s journey blends fantasy with coming-of-age themes, making it a nostalgic treat for fans of magical realism.
**Housesitter (1992)**
Starring Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn, *Housesitter* is an underrated rom-com that deserves more recognition.

The film blends intense drama with authentic casino atmosphere, and it’s a cult classic for its depiction of gambling culture and clever storytelling.
**Other Hidden Gems**
There are many more ’90s movies that deserve rediscovery, like *The Shadow* (1994), a visually stunning superhero film based on a classic pulp character, or *Meatballs III: Summer Job* (1986), a goofy comedy that’s a bit outside the typical ’90s timeline but still nostalgic for the era’s vibe.
