It’s a Wonderful Life (1946)
BOX OFFICE: $3,300,000 (estimated)
BUDGET: $3,700,000
“This movie is probably the biggest example of this. It was an absolute flop at the box office. It almost killed the studio that made it. At one point, there was some debate about ownership of it because nobody wanted it, so TV networks could air it without paying anyone. That’s when it started getting shown on TV constantly around Christmas, and it gained its status as one of the best Christmas movies of all time.”
Death to Smoochy is hilarious, but I can understand critics not liking it. It's pretty messed up at times especially as Robin Williams' character spirals further down.
#10 I’m still hoping Galaxy Quest 2 happens.
#16 I was 16 in 1987, and had never heard of the book or the movie. My girlfriend and her friend sat me down to watch it. It is a classic.
