What films that flopped when they came out but you saw in the theater and loved, that are now universally acclaimed or cult classics? (kbin.social)

Films that may have flopped but not because of you, because you did your part and bought a ticket.

Maybe The Island?
I think it didn't do great at the box office, but I went in expecting a mindless, Michael Bay summer action flick and that's what I got.
I watched it in theaters—twice. Alone, too.

I don't know if it's considered a cult classic now though.

I wouldn't consider it a cult classic but I did enjoy it.

I don't think it's a cult classic but it was a surprisingly decent movie.
