13 Movies That Bombed but Not in Fans’ Hearts

There are many 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.
