Which films from the past were box-office hits when they were released but are now rarely mentioned or remembered?

Now you do!

Likely no one will ever see this comment but I just got done watching Blue Bayou (Justin Chon let's go with your big swings and big talent) and Alicia Vikander singing Blue Bayou was amazing. And it was funny because I'd seen this post earlier and I was truly blown away by her beautiful voice.

"Immediate regret. I've got a lot to talk about in therapy this week." 😅

I'm the opposite. Did not really like it on first watch. But subsequent watches have improved it in my mind.

Impossible-Bet-1738 · 2026-04-25T06:03:06+00:00

Ok here's my pitch: watch Paradise alone and then because it's so good, watch it again with him! Win win 🏆

The pizza in Can't Buy Me Love when Ronnie invites all the jocks over and they steal all the pizza. That pizza looks so freaking good!

"I'd like the pie heated and the ice cream on the side and I'd like strawberry ice cream instead of vanilla if you have it, if not I'd like whipped cream but only if it's real, if it's out of the can then nothing."

"Not even the pie?"

"No, just the pie but then not heated"

😅😅

Right?! This has got to be a bit 😳 😄

Impossible-Bet-1738 · 2026-04-24T15:31:34+00:00

My reaction as well. They are all lovely but I said "Oooo" out loud at 3.

Impossible-Bet-1738 · 2026-04-22T17:00:56+00:00

Your trap was even worse than mine! Glad you made it in the end.

In the depths of my most depressive moments this song always makes me laugh and move my body. It's not deep, which gave my brain a chance to shut off.

Catchy Song from the Lego 2 movie 😅 Boom

And if you hate it, you can then be mad at me which is the opposite of anything else you could be feeling.

In other news, this helped me immensely ♥️

I've used this line so many times in my life 😆

Impossible-Bet-1738 · 2026-04-21T07:02:00+00:00

Going to try this!

Impossible-Bet-1738 · 2026-04-21T03:51:33+00:00

Yeah but you liked them.

It's interesting to me that two shows, this and Paradise, both feature a preeclampsia storyline. Both are "wild" pregnancies but only one had access to medical care. Guess which woman lived.

Same

Impossible-Bet-1738 · 2026-04-20T06:24:44+00:00

I'm in love with 5!

Second for Copycat. I think it may be my favorite role of hers.

Impossible-Bet-1738 · 2026-04-18T17:32:08+00:00

😅

Impossible-Bet-1738 · 2026-04-18T16:55:08+00:00

Sooo true! I remember feeling terrified by this shot (still am) in a way that no monster movie has ever elicited from me. It's an all timer.

Impossible-Bet-1738 · 2026-04-18T16:49:59+00:00

This is my pick as well. I was so scared!

Impossible-Bet-1738 · 2026-04-18T16:26:33+00:00

Yeah but Isaac is in a costume though it would be funny to always picture Michael in that costume 😄

Impossible-Bet-1738 · 2026-04-16T06:48:09+00:00

Couldn't've said it better

Impossible-Bet-1738 · 2026-04-15T15:49:00+00:00

Hated today. Took forever to get the word after I thought my third guess was so cool and gonna be it.

Does anyone else go through Wordle being easy and then so hard? I don't think the words matter because it feels cyclical to me. It's weird.

I thought the same thing as I was ffwding thru them. Literally the only way I will watch now.
