If there’s one word that describes the modern media landscape, it’s “overload.” It’s easier than ever to make a movie, and streamers are bottomless pits that hunger for content, resulting in neverending libraries of mostly terrible schlock. Like, hilariously awful. Ever heard of Birdemic? Forget we said anything.
That can cause you to miss out on a lot of greatness, too, though. Whether it’s a poorly worded description by an overworked Netflix employee, bad reviews from critics who simply didn’t understand their genius or plain old glacial drift into obscurity, some of the best movies ever made are completely unknown to the average person. That’s why one Redditor asked, “What movie is 10/10 yet hardly anyone’s heard of it?”
