Underrated 90s

by hollywoodpsychic | created - 10 May 2014 | updated - 12 Nov 2020 | Public

An evolving list of 90s movies that I feel all deserve more love. Some of these films make the list for having low average user ratings. Others are here for having very few user ratings. All of these are movies I like. (Though some are certainly better than others!) Here, then, is my list of the best unappreciated, misunderstood and/or unknown 90s movies that I particularly enjoyed, films that surely deserve higher ratings and/or a bigger audience.
