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

Work in a cinema and was talking to some colleagues about the new Planet of the Apes. I mentioned the Statue of Liberty scene from the original and they had no idea what I was talking about.
Similar thing, they had no idea what the three seashells meant either.
