Screencrush's 15 Once-Beloved Movies That Have Faded Away

"The fact that millions of people turn out to see a movie, or voters shower it with Academy Awards, is no guarantee that a movie will be remembered as an all-time classic. That's the subject of this piece. It's about films that were hits & awards winners; well-liked by vast swaths of the American public and international audiences. Every single one was among the biggest hits of the year when they came out. Many of them got sequels. A few spawned massive chart-topping soundtracks. And yet every single one has faded into semi-obscurity. Why? That's a great question, and one that's not always easy to answer. Sometimes a movie taps into the zeitgeist in a way that doesn't resonate with viewers decades later. Sometimes audiences' tastes change with time, & what once seemed provocative now looks crass or insensitive. Plus, let's face it: There are a lot of movies out there. Many of them — even some really worthwhile films — are going to wind up falling through the cracks." - screencrush.com
