There's nothing worse than going to the theater, spending way too much money on tickets, popcorn, candy, and drinks, and then watching a movie that ends up being completely terrible. Over the last decade, however, there have been numerous movies that were the complete opposite of the over-hyped box office duds. Some of the more fun and brilliant movies tend to slip through the cracks and go fairly unnoticed. No matter what your taste is, there is something in this list for everyone, so enjoy the 50 Best Modern Movies You Might Have Missed.

movies that are underrated (IMO)

The idea behind The New Cult Canon is to take a fresh look at the new generation of cult movies that have sprung up in the last two decades, although some older movies are also included into the list. The list is authored by Scott Tobias.

This isn't a complete list as that'd be pretty impossible and it's probably subjective, but the items on this list are tv shows of movies that I think you should watch so you have a pretty high chance of knowing what people are talking about when they start talking about visual media. This is an eclectic list - you won't find many places that put American Pie and Amelie on the same page, but this isn't ranked, it's not one genre, and while some of the items listed are culturally significant in the sense of high culture modern-masterpieces, some are slightly ironic but still just as cultural, but rather more of the popular culture strain. If you watch the items on this list, next time somebody quotes "...No I'm not, I'm talking about Anne Frank. She was deaf, dumb and blind." "No she wasn't. Helen Keller was deaf, dumb and blind.", you'll be able to laugh. When somebody says "I'm Batman" in a really gruff voice, or jokingly suggests taking a neighbour's gnome around the world and sending them photos of it, you'll know exactly what they're referring to. That is the intention of this list.
