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 saw Tron in the theater in 1982! How about that? I'd forgotten all about it, until just now that I read the word "Tron".

There was an arcade next door, of course - they had the Tron game! A guy was playing like a wizard, I asked if he'd gone next door to see it, he looked at me and said - "I've seen it four times". I wonder where that guy is now. Did he go into computer engineering or something like that, just at the right time when the industry was about to explode in size?
