Movies that made a big pop culture splash but are now disproportionately forgotten
I'm talking about movies that were initially quite popular and really seemed to capture the zeitgeist but which have now faded more than one might have expected. The fading is especially poignant if the movies were actually pretty original.

Austin Powers, for awhile at least people would quote and talk like Austin Powers.

"Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and "Dick Tracy" had a big pop culture in the late 80's and early 90's...by 1993, they were forgotten. |

I feel like Napoleon Dynamite would probably fall in this category, even though I still love it and quote from it at times.
