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.

Does waterworld count as a cult classic these days? I think so but I could be wrong. I thought I was going insane when it came out because I absolutely loved it and seemingly everyone else couldn’t stand it for one minute!

I friggin' love that movie. Same with The Postman. Why does Kevin Costner make movies that are just so much better than they have any right to be?

Postman is so good. Love the Tom Petty cameo

I loved it too. It's silly but fun.

I think if it had been less expensive to make perhaps it wouldn't have flopped so spectacularly.

I love Waterworld! I've had similar experiences with it as well with people hating it though.
