The 2000s were an exceptional decade for film, producing incredible rom-coms, memorable franchises, and acclaimed, prestige dramas that have become some of the best movies of all time. But for all those titles we all know and love, some films have fallen by the wayside.

Enough time has passed that many of these films have been given a second chance at success, and even become cult classics. But if there are some movies on here that you've missed, each of these hidden gems is worthy of your time.
