Thanksgiving weekend is usually one of those weekends when one gets tired of fulfilling all their familial responsibilities and so they retreat to the nearest cine-plex to clear their mind.I usually favor smaller and more interesting (to me) movies that don't generate much box office revenue.
For this list, the criterion is that a movie cannot have made more than 40 million dollars in domestic box office.
(Compiling such a list is more work than it would seem.)

American Psycho - $15 mil.
Blade Runner - $27.5 mil.
Cinema Paridiso - $12 mil.
Do The Right Thing 27.5 mil.

I liked the Inkwell and you might include Cloverfield and Blade 1 didn't do so well but became a rental hit.

ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of movies I liked better - but few that "failed" at the box office.
