Movies that the box office thought were bad or the critics didn't like but we loved them.

Red Sonja was one for me.
Robinson Crusoe on Mars was another one for me.

Love Robinson Crusoe On Mars.


Army Of Darkness, don't think the critics hated it, but it didn't do as well as the previous sequels at the box office.

Big Trouble In Little China was panned by the critics, and flopped on the big screen.

The Adventures Of Ford Fairlane

I would say many movies I like either flop at the box office, or are hated by critics.

Also 2 films that are now Christmas classics both flopped at the box office- A Christmas Story, and It's A Wonderful Life.

Army of Darkness was the only one that you mentioned that I don't remember seeing. Big Trouble in Little China and The Adventures of Ford Fairlane I really liked.

The Eyes of Laura Mars I liked.

The movie received a broadly positive review in The New York Times, in which Janet Maslin called the ending of the film "dumb," but otherwise liked it. She wrote of it: "It's the cleverness of "Eyes of Laura Mars" that counts, cleverness that manifests itself in superlative casting, drily controlled direction from Irvin Kershner, and spectacular settings that turn New York into the kind of eerie, lavish dreamland that could exist only in the idle noodlings of the very, very hip."[1]
Roger Ebert was less enthusiastic and pointed out its clichéd "woman in trouble" plot.[2]
As of May 2010, the film had only a 47% fresh rating on the Rotten Tomatoes movie review website.[3]
On its release, the film received mixed critical reviews, but it was a box office hit, earning $20 million off of a $7 million budget.
George Lucas hired director Kershner for The Empire Strikes Back because he was very impressed after seeing an early rough cut of the film.

Faye Dunaway played in it. I thought she was cool in Bonnie and Clyde. Tommy Lee Jones was in it and I have really like his acting.

Speaking of George Lucas, I enjoyed Howard The Duck, which flopped big time, and was torn to shreds by critics.


Army Of Darkness is great, you don't have to have seen Evil Dead 1 or 2 to enjoy it, as it was made(mainly because of studio demands) as a standalone film, hence the title not being Evil Dead 3. It's a great fantasy/comedy(some horror aspects)...a take on A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court.

And speaking of Tommy Lee Jones, I really like Nate And Hayes '83, a pirate movie inspired by the success of Raiders Of The Lost Ark. Another one of those films that performed better on home video than at the box office.

i like to go to the midnight showing of the cult classic rocky horror picture show. people dress like characters from the show and the audience participation is awesome

I liked the sequel to Rocky Horror- Shock Treatment

Damnation Alley....even though it's a horrendous adaptation of Roger Zelazny's book, the movie is a hoot. Where else can you find Jan Michael Vincent trying to outrun giant cockroaches on a motorcycle?

I liked Howard the Duck. The originality was refreshing.

I liked Jan Michael Vincent in that movie where he was talking about the Loblolly Pine. I will think of it in a minute. It was in New York. Oh, yeah. The Vigilante.

Roger Zelazny had some good books.

Yes, he did. Every Halloween I read Zelazny's Night In Lonesome October.

American Psycho. I always thought that would be a good ringtone where they did the shower scene.
Love at first bite.

Spider Baby- Offbeat horror comedy about a secluded family who suffer from a rare disease which causes them to mentally, socially, and physically regress backwards down the evolutionary ladder starting in early puberty. Lon Chaney Jr plays the chauffeur and caretaker of the family.

Earth Girls Are Easy

with Geena Davis

I suspect the critics missed it. never seen a review. it's awesome

then there's La Placard, a french film about a man who pretends he's gay in order to keep his accounting job with Daniel Auteil. It's hilarious


can't post a photo because when I search it on bucket all I get is a bunch of pictures of people's closets

It's a great movie. Very funny.

I liked the one about Earth Girls Are Easy.

The 1963 movie Cleopatra is a classic flop, but it went on to make lots of money in television reruns. Movie flops are known to have huge budgets, high expectations and the gleeful "glad it wasn't me" reaction.

Other classic flops- Heaven's Gate, Ishtar, Waterworld.

I love most of the post-apocalyptic ripoffs of Mad Max that came out in the 80's, especially the ones from Italy-

2019: After The Fall Of New York(the critically acclaimed Children Of Men totally ripped off 2019. I do like Children of Men though )

The Last Battle
1990: The Bronx Warriors
Battle Truck
The Last Chase
Warriors Of The Wasteland
Warlords Of The 21st Century
Stryker

I'm a huge fan of post-apocalypse/last man on earth films:

Five(one of the first films to deal with this theme realistically, considering it was made in the 50's there are no radioactively mutated monsters)

The World, The Flesh, And The Devil

The Last Man On Earth (IMO, still the best adaptation of Richard Matheson's I Am Legend)

The Omega Man

No Blades Of Grass

The Quiet Earth (Still one of the best endings in a science fiction film)

Panic In The Year Zero

Where Have All The People Gone?

A Boy And His Dog
