Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie. I believe it was one of the lowest grossing films ever released by a major studio (in this case Universal). I think it grossed less than half a million bucks nationwide. There may have been a half dozen people in the theater when a friend and I saw it. But we loved every minute of it!

I saw Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy and David Cronenberg's Crash in the theatre too, they didn't exactly light up the box office either. And Crash had the most walkouts I ever experienced while watching a film, maybe almost half the audience. It was awesome!

Empire Records, Pulp Fiction, Clerks, Tank Girl... way too many to count. Between the years of 1991-2001 I pretty much saw a movie a week at the theaters. I saw A LOT of garbage. (Jacob's Ladder included.)

My family and I love Funny Farm and MST3K the movie. We can quote from it. In fact we refer to our mailman as Crum Petrie.

I walked out of Under the Cherry Moon, but I don't think it's become a classic, cult or otherwise.

Empire Records, Pulp Fiction, Clerks, Tank Girl... way too many to count.

Actually, Pulp Fiction did quite well in it's theatrical release, it ended up grossing over $100 million. Although I didn't get around to seeing it until it was playing in a sketchy second run theater in downtown Buffalo, but actually that ambiance fit the film perfectly. And I was absolutely hypnotized for two and a half hours, still one of my all time favourite films.

I distinctly remember going at least five times to the local cinema I had within walking distance to see Megaforce. This little theater also damaged my youthful brain with Super Fuzz, My Name is Bruce and Condorman. Ah yeah, the classics...

[LadyZod]

I loved Condorman even before I saw it. I used to rent Disney VHS's from the local shop and at the beginning of each video they would have those montages... and Condorman was always shown. I made it my mission to track that movie down to watch it (since my video shop didn't have a copy.)

My older sister took me to see that.
