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 get the feeling that both the original and the sequel are the kind of film where word of mouth just doesn't do it for some reason. I had a friend years ago who mentioned that she had never seen Blade Runner, and immediately followed that by saying not to bother telling her how good it was.
