**The best “forgotten” movies from the ’90s**
The 1990s was a golden era for cinema, producing iconic classics like *Clueless* and *The Silence of the Lambs*. However, beneath the blockbusters and cult favorites, there are many hidden gems that have slipped through the cracks over time. These films, though not as widely remembered today, hold a special place in the hearts of those who discovered them early on.
One such movie is *The Thirteenth Year*—a Disney Channel film about a teenage swimmer who mysteriously discovers he’s a merman after his 13th birthday. It’s cheesy, campy, and utterly charming—a perfect example of the whimsical Disney movies that made childhood so magical. Despite its popularity among nostalgic fans, it often gets overshadowed by other Disney hits from the ’90s.
Another underrated gem is *Housesitter*, starring Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn. This lighthearted romantic comedy is full of witty humor and heartfelt moments. It tells the story of a womanizer who, after a one-night stand, ends up staying in a woman’s house and inadvertently creates a complicated love story. It’s a fun, feel-good film that deserves more recognition among the classic rom-coms of the era.
Then there’s *Rounders*, the gripping poker thriller starring Matt Damon and Edward Norton. This film explores the underground world of high-stakes poker and the risks and rewards of gambling addiction. Its intense storytelling and authentic portrayal of card games make it a must-watch for fans of crime dramas and gambling movies—yet it remains somewhat underappreciated.
