MovieWeb's 20 Little-Known Flops That Deserve a Second Chance

"Movies are a tricky business. A lot of people complain about Hollywood being out of ideas. Yet, when something original comes along to challenge perceptions, it goes unnoticed by audiences who would rather find the safe space of a franchise before investing in something new. Many of these films are exceptional works of art, and larger blockbusters in their heyday overshadowed all of them. Most of these movies have achieved cult classic status. Movies are, above everything else, a business. Studios keep pumping superhero films and keep franchises alive because they make money. They are unwilling to risk their limited resources on original ideas, even if they prove groundbreaking. This has led to a slower and dwindling pacing in auteur cinema. Most of these films tried to do something new and original just to crash and burn. With this ranking, we expect to bring attention to some beloved classics that deserve the time of the day.
