"They" being critics and cinema goers. What are some movies that were panned on release that are thought of well today? One example I can think of is John Carpenter's the thing, easily still one of the best horror movies out there. The shining also got nominated for two razzie awards (worse actress/director), yet it's still thought of to be the best stephen king adaptation by many and one of kubrick's finest.
So what other movies are there? I suppose it'd also be interesting to see which movies were praised initially, but seem horrible today.
