Screenrant's 10 Box Office Flops From the 1980s That Everyone Loves

"Art sometimes requires a good amount of time before it can be fully appreciated, and this was certainly the case for some of the most fondly-remembered movies of the 80s. One of the most iconic decades in film history, the 80s were responsible for the birth of dozens of popular franchises and hundreds more beloved one-off stories. But the era's audiences weren't always as kind to films that have gone on to become highly-regarded by modern cinephiles. In some cases, the timing of a given film's release simply wasn't ideal, causing them to be overshadowed by more prominent releases during their theatrical run. Other times, the culture of the 80s simply wasn't ready for certain tones, themes, and stories that seem strangely more suitable for future audiences' values. Yet these ill-fated films have gone on to be highly-rated by most who see them, providing hope for the box office flops of recent years." - screenrant.com
