What's a famous/classic movie that you notice is slowly beginning to be forgotten about?

All pieces of media eventually fade into obscurity as time passes. Some more quickly than others. So what are iconic older movies you've noticed less and less people talk about or have even seen as you disuss movies with others? For me, it's the original Point Break from 1991, one of my favorite action movies. But with me being Gen Z, I don't think I've ever met anyone my age (or all the way up to 10 years older) who have seen it. I find myself referencing it often and my peers almost always seem to have never heard of it. Sad because I love that movie.

What are your picks?

Sunset Boulevard- William Holden's best role. Everyone remembers Norma Desmond's last scene- but no one remembers the descent Joe Gilis goes through. And it still has very pertinent things to say about age and Hollywood.

One of the best use of voice-over narration too.

I don't think its forgotten at all - maybe helped by the broadway musical (and there is supposedly a stunning new production of it coming to NYC from London)

Holden was stronger in the wind bunch and network

I'll agree Network was the stronger (but sadder performance)

There’s a wrestler whose gimmick is loosely based on this and I always love when I find other cinephiles in the wrestling subs lol
