: Movies that were unexpectedly successful at the box office, despite critical snubs.
|
| Another way to measure success is not just with audience approval, but with market appeal: how well did it do at the box office. There's often critical scorn that still gets lots of people to watch and approve of a film. People vote with their wallet and time, and if they enjoy and keep paying for a movie, then that's more important than what the critics say. |

Movies succeed, and get cult followings for all sorts of reasons. I don't know that you could ever claim that Rocky Horror Picture show was a great film. But it was fun, funny, and got a cult following -- and ended up making lots of money for it's silliness, fun, music, or some other reasons. But I do like counter-culture stuff, and things that discredit a narrative. So the movies that critics hated, or that were unexpected surprises, are quite enjoyable to me.
