Whether they were clever concepts too far ahead of their time or good stories led by relative nobodies, these '90s movies didn't hit as big as they should have. It turns out even some of the greatest movies of all time come out of the gate as duds.

    Do you have any other recommendations?

    The Shadow is a fun superhero-ish movie. It doesn't take itself seriously and is a little campy (not to the extreme of the 1960s Batman TV series) has good special effects... and the Shadow's iconic laugh and tagline are great to hear.

    "Chaplin" suffered a lot from the abuse allegations that came out back then. That and of course Chaplin was an all around weird man. Props to "The long Kiss Goodnight". It's a great Christmas season guilty pleasure...

    I've seen all of these. I agree with most of them. Some movies were always just going to do better through rentals than box office, though. I grew up in the country, pretty far from the nearest Movie Theaters back then. However, we were big fans of the local rental stores. In fact, it was our nightly thing to watch a rented movie. Weekends. We would rent 4 or 5 movies. Well, that was after TGIF lost its real relevance on the culture. Now days... I swear I can barely make it through ANY movie. It just isn't the same. Maybe it's nostalgia!

    FINALLY somebody but me recognizes how good the Chinatown sequel, The Two Jakes, is!
  • @danixdefcon5
    TIL that Hocus Pocus was a box office bomb. Watched it when it originally released and yes, it was a fun movie.
  • @meyeboy2
    How do you do this list and not bring up the super mario bros movie that came out in 95, it bomb in theaters but had a cult following when it was released on home video and still holds a special place for me since i grew up watching it alot on cable

    Movie critics aren't people, buddy. -A close friend of mine who couldn't be more right tbh, lol.

    I love hocus pocus, and it's sequel. I hear they have a third one coming out. Hocus pocus, did much better, than most people realize.
