What films that flopped when they came out but you saw in the theater and loved, that are now universally acclaimed or cult classics? (kbin.social)

Films that may have flopped but not because of you, because you did your part and bought a ticket.

I couldn’t find anyone wanted to go see Shawshank when it came out. I was probably one of a dozen people in the theater.

I just got my wife to watch it for the first time this past week. Possibly my favorite movie ever.

It got a generally lukewarm reception on release too.

That's kind of insane considering it's literally the top movie on imdb

Came here to say Shawshank. Same with me, I went to see it on my own.
