Has there been any movies that were supposed to be TRASH but ended up being a classic?

[Poetical Poltergeist]

I don't remember it being expected to be a 200 million plus blockbuster.

Yes I know that, but it got lukewarm reviews by critics in it's initial release.

Well those dudes were obviously haters.

Roger Ebert years later went back and changed his review of the movie

I have to dig through my crates cuz I think I do have it somewhere. I was mad disappointed when I saw the theatrical version and there were so many cuts.

Was the uncut version what they released on blu ray?

This is every bit of a Japanese B-Horror movie and it's made it's way into the Criterion Collection

See for yourself:

And I can't forget bae

Not sure. From my understanding the uncut version had never been released but the blu ray does say includes both theatrical and unrated so I guess so. I don't buy blu rays anymore so cop it for me doggie.

According to this the unrated cut is the cut with more blood/violence

Real Steel

I wasn’t around then, but imma take a wild guess and say Star Wars.

Your right and THATS what I came in to say.


Star Wars original cut was so bad that Fox had ZERO faith in it and gave George Lucas full licensing rights. Once George edited it and it became a hit Lucas became FILTHY RICH off the Toy merchandising.

Godfather 2 got lukewarm reviews when it came out, but now it's considered by some as the best movie ever

The Thing falls under this category too. As a matter of fact, they shytted on my man Ennio's score had the nerve to give him a Razzie for the shyt too

I cannot believe it took this long to say this... Star Wars owns this thread. Movie was shytted on so bad, that they were GIVING away lifetime profit percentages and the actors in the damn movie was like




From that... To..... 100 BILLION... 500 BILLION... What? Between movies, toys, games, licensing, tees, tv shows, books, conventions.......... how much money has that shyt made now? Endless





Honorable mention to Ace Ventura. Both of them... And Blade... Nobody thought that was gonna do shyt and it restarted all comic book movies
