Slap the name Disney on The Iron Giant- it's not a flop.
This list was crap why was the Shawshank redemption so low
No fight club?
Edge of tomorrow?
The Shawshank Redemption sucked big time.
The Road To El Dorado
Big Trouble In Little China has become SO popular, that it's being remade. (Facepalm)
The Shawshank Redemption should be #1
Hocus Pocus, Bicentennial Man, Pocahontas, hunchback of Notre dame all flopped
My mom just loves “Iron Giant”.
One False Move should have made the list with the late Paxton and Billy Bob Thornton great movie
"The Blue Brothers" (1980) didn't do as well at the box office as it should have because a lot of theaters in the Southern states didn't like how many black people were in the cast and refused to show it. Because, you know, showing any minorities on screen could somehow corrupt youth and reinforce the idea that all people are equal and no one race is superior.
*this is NOT an "S.J.W. cause", just stating facts – check IMDB Trivia to confirm.
Mojo I Don't Think Were In Kansas Anymore!
I can believe Wizard of Oz and Scott Pilgrim flopped. Poorly made, poorly written, poorly acted.
THE THING should've been counted as one of the 10, and near the top of this list rather than just a passing mention. It is one of the most famously noted "flops" among these, which was noted pretty extensively at the time. It cost something like 12 million at the time—a considerable figure back then—and only took in something like 2 million in its initial release (plus it was hated by almost everyone…then). It's failure, like that of the film released at the very same time, BLADERUNNER, was due to the release of E.T. the very same weekend. Nobody wanted to see the other two films as E.T. seemed to blow everybody away. (Now, in retrospect, both THE THING and BLADERUNNER are often regarded to be, by many, the far more significant and effective films.)
You did this list before.
Top 10 Ways To Make Love To A Chicken pls
Didn't they do this kind of video already in 2015?
Willy Wonka? Well I mean, those Oompa Loompas are scary as shit
What the hell happened to John Carpenter, he used to be a great filmmaker, classic after classic…then he started to make tripe.
The original Blade Runner is better than 2049.
Idiocracy?
Heard that saying the wizard of Oz sucked, wasn't true. It was said to get people to go see it so they could see if it sucked or not.
I don't care about numbers for movies
Let’s list off movies that suck but did better at the box office
Do top ten authors or comic book writers who hate their work on the big screen they mention the writer of the Willy Wonka book not liking the movie just like Alan Moore refusing to watch Zack Snyder Watchmen
@ 3:54 RIP Gene Wilder
did watchmojo get a new voice over guy?
man I am shocked SHOCKED that Wizard of Oz flopped
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cit-cit…cit–Citizen kane didn't win at the box office? That's absurd! It's the best movie EVER! People must've been to focused on WWll then on movies.
Various Disney classics underperformed at the box office
I can believe that scott pilgrim flopped
I'll tell you why Citizen Kane Flopped. It's a bad movie, with an unlikeable main character, and a boring setting that only gets by on it's then revolutionary visual effects and unexpected twist. The negatives outweigh the positives.
The Shawshank Redemption should have at least ranked much higher than number 10.
rocky horror?
Im sure one day watchmen will be considered the best graphic novel movie adaptation of all time.
5, 4 and 3 are overrated shit, specially 3, it's garbage.
most movies in this list are "meh", except maybe 1 and 9
Shawshank Redemption.
Dredd was an amazing badass movie
