14 Times a Movie Subplot Was Way More Interesting Than the Main Plot (Ranker)

"Some movies contain subplots that end up being more interesting than the main storyline in the narrative. This isn't so much an indication of the primary plot being bad or unengaging as it is a sign of the quality of entertainment found in the supporting storyline. Sometimes this is due to a clever concept in the script, a memorable supporting performance, or precision in filmmaking, but the best are often a combination of each. In some cases, these subplots overshadow the main storyline of a film and leave audiences wanting more once they are over, often even wishing for the storyline to have its own movie. Whether the film itself was a masterpiece or somewhat less than perfect, these subplots are either an asset or a saving grace. Sometimes a gem of a supporting storyline is buried in an otherwise forgettable film. And even the best films can contain an unexpectedly successful subplot that accidentally outshines the main storyline." - ranker.com
