There's no denying that 2016 has had some of the most anticipated cinematic releases of recent years. Unfortunately, many of these incredibly hyped movies have been met with negative criticism--to put it simply, they kind of stunk. As I sat in the theatre and watched the credits roll for the long-awaited "Suicide Squad," I couldn't help but think of all the less popular movies in years past that were so much better. They may not have had the largest fanbase, but at least their ratings weren't rotten.

In my last article, I discussed 15 Great TV Shows You Probably Haven't Seen. While I stick to my grounds as an expert on all things television, I do have a fair-sized collection of underdog movies I've built up over the years as well. With the help of my movie buff boyfriend, I've determined a list that covers basically every movie genre imaginable. So, grab some popcorn and fire up that Netflix account. These films are guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat.

1. "Mean Creek"

With all around good performances from a young cast, this emotional journey separates our inner child from our adult responsibilities. Not to mention, young Josh Peck shines in his role as a potty-mouthed bully. You're welcome.

2. "Election"

"Election" stars Reese Witherspoon as an overachieving, self-involved student and Matthew Broderick as a respected, but cool, teacher. As the school election begins, their civil student-teacher distaste for each other turns into a rivalry for the ages.

3. "Girl Most Likely"

Okay, so maybe I lied a little about the good ratings, but only for this one film, I promise. Although reviews weren't stellar for this Kristen Wiig flick, it's definitely earned a place as one of my all time favorite films. Also, Darren Criss sings like a Backstreet Boy, and that's enough to make any girl fall in love with a simple motion picture.

4. "Inside Llewyn Davis"

Taken place over the course of a couple of days, we follow one down on his luck folk singer on a path through the 1950s folk revival scene, as he tries to achieve fame, find a bed, and survive the harsh reality of the music world.

5. "Cats Don't Dance"

Though this spectacular film is of the animated nature, the story behind each character and the message sent to its audience are enough to make it as heartwarming as any of its live-action competitors. The musical numbers are just as good as any you would see in a Disney movie, while the plot is a neat twist on history that informs young audiences of the discrimination specific groups have faced in decades past.

6. "Comet"

A couple's relationship is viewed by the audience in multiple ways through various universes. Emily Rossum and Justin Long star in this fresh new take on a simple display of romance.

7. "Look Who's Back"

In this odd mesh of satire and history, the notorious dictator Adolf Hitler wakes up in present-day Berlin while civilians simply assume he is a Hitler impersonator. The film may be foreign, but it'll give you a great opportunity to brush up on that German.

8. "Everything Must Go"

Will Ferrell, known for playing the funny guy, at last shows off his dramatic side in a heartwarming movie about a man letting go by giving away almost everything he has.

9. "Ballet Shoes"

Starring Emma Watson, this film follows three young girls, two of which are orphans, during the Great Depression. As the trio struggles to follow their dreams, they face many obstacles along the way.

10. "The 'Burbs"

"The 'Burbs" is basically your average suburban nightmare. Starring a young Tom Hanks and Carrie Fisher, this '80s flick perfectly captures the essence of both horror and comedy. Plus, it offers advice that will last a lifetime: never make your neighbors angry. That gardening hose could make a nasty noose.
