Movies that bombed that you like anyway - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

There are movies that crash and burn at the box office that I still enjoyed.

The Postman, with Kevin Costner. Can't explain it, just liked it.

I expected to hate Mariah Carey's, Glitter, but I didn't. I didn't love it, but I wasn't bored either.

That's all that comes to mind right now. More to follow I'm sure.

Any stinkers you that you liked?

Waterworld- I think it bombed but I liked it.

I didn't think Waterworld was that bad either. It was also one of the most expensive movies ever made- so it'd be hard to make a profit.

Also- Shock Treatment! It had a budget of $1000000 and took in only 100,000- but it's great!

When they list the business at the box office online- is that how much was taken in for the film- or how much profit?

Cable Guy- it didn't bomb, but they gave it bad reviews. And I LOVE it.

Glitter is the main one that comes to mind. I know there are others, but that's all I can think of right now.

Ouch. I didn't think it did THAT bad! I like it too.

I also really liked Mary Reilly with Julia Roberts and Willard with Crispin Glover.

Cable Guy was hilarious! And Mallrats is another one that I liked.

Car 54, Where Are You? (the movie version, not the TV show)

That movie has Rosie O'Donnell in it and was originally made in 1990, but at the time they made the movie, the company that put out the movie (Orion) was going bankrupt, so they shelved "Car 54" until 1994, then released it to theaters, and it bombed. But I love it.

And you get to see Rosie O'Donnell when she had long, curly hair! Scary!

You can see her, front & in the middle. BTW, Fran Drescher was also in that movie as well.

The movie Glitter - I loved it and I thought Mariah Carey did a fine job! So fine that I became a Mariah fan. I hope she makes another movie.
