No one could ever accuse the 2000s of being a boring decade. Beyond the iconic aughties fashion trends, there were many great '00s films from franchises like Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and The Lord of the Rings to comedy hits like Legally Blonde. To say the least, the decade saw big box office numbers—but with so many high-profile flicks to choose from, the number of great forgotten 2000s movies is longer than you might think.
We've rounded up some of the most overlooked 2000s movies that are still worth a watch today. Some, like Aaliyah's Queen of the Damned, were simply misunderstood, while others like Identity, were successful at the box office and later forgotten by the masses. Others just didn't find their audience until later on. (Ahem, Beerfest.)
Regardless, now's the perfect time to catch up on these hidden gems, from heartwarming rom-coms and gruesome horror movies to surprising murder mysteries. (And okay, maybe a few guilty pleasures, too.)
