What is your favourite film (that didn't make much money)?
-
Lots of people have favourite movies that were big hits, but what about those that you thought were really, really good - but bombed at the box office for some weird reason. Even if the film didn't do so well, perhaps it has a great line in it? One of mine is "Tremors" from 1990. The best line is, "...but I want to live for the three days"!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
Sharknado!!

The Grand Budapest Hotel. Strange and humourous.

The Man Who Knew Too Little (1997) with Bill Murray. Laughed through the entire thing, but most people I mention it to have never even heard of it. It had a $20M budget and only made $13.7M, and it has a 41% on Rotten Tomatoes, but I love it.

I've always liked "Being There". A comedy illustrating people's willingness to believe what they want.

[The Bothersome Man](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_Bothersome\_Man) I loved this film. So bizarre. So good. Also, [Monsters (2010)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsters\_(2010\_film)). 500K budget, incredible use of CGI (as in: very, very subtle and well blended) and it was about the story, not the effects.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension. Hands down #1. Cast: Peter Weller, John Lithgow, Jeff Goldblum, Ellen Barkin, Christopher Lloyd, Robert Ito. John Lithgow is magnificent. Peter Weller and Jeff Goldblum are also wonderful. Ellen Barkin is go good and so very young and hot It brought tears to my eyes. #2 Earth Girls Are Easy. Stars:Geena Davis, Jeff Goldblum, Jim Carrey. #3 Repo Man. Stars: Harry Dean Stanton, Emilio Estevez, Tracey Walter #4 The Commitments. Stars: Robert Arkins, Michael Aherne, Angeline Ball. If you were ever in a rock band or thought about joining one, this film is a MUST See.:cool::cool::cool:

Electric Dreams (1984) Staring Virginia Madsen and Lenny von Dohlen. Most of the music by Boy George and Culture Club. Money makes the world go round ... but documentation moves the money.

Moon (2009) - IMDB. A great SciFi show with a great twist at the end.

[Idiocracy](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387808/ "Idiocracy") Though its a bit depressing how prophetic it has become.
