What films that flopped when they came out but you saw in the theater and loved, that are now universally acclaimed or cult classics? (kbin.social)

Films that may have flopped but not because of you, because you did your part and bought a ticket.

I really enjoyed The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. It got panned by the critics and didn't do well at the box office, but seems to be being more accepted recently.

I enjoy the movie - but it's definitely not the comic.

It's a fun ride, but I don't know if I can say it's exactly a good movie. It's trying to scratch that same adventure itch as The Mummy or Indiana Jones, but I don't think it does it quite as well.

A lot of that was due to how badly they butchered the graphic novels.
