Movies That Bombed at the Box Office but Not in Fans’ Hearts

There are a lot of ways to judge a movie’s success or failure, and only one of them has to do with box office receipts. Like with all creative media, it’s impossible for the studios and powers that be to guess, with 100% accuracy, what’s going to resonate with audiences.

Not to mention that there are plenty of examples of films through the decades that have flopped at the box office only to become beloved classics – or cult classics – somewhere down the road.

Here are 13 movies that are technically failures, but that have found their way into the hearts of thousands of viewers nonetheless.

Hollywood studios usually judge a movie’s success or failure based on how much money they rake in when everything shakes out, but audiences don’t have such strict standards.

These 11 movies are technical failures, but people love them anyway – and maybe you want to give them a shot, too!

11. Good doesn’t mean like, award-worthy.

Every audience knows that.
