The Avatar of its time?


Hugely successful, little cultural footprint.
I thought the theme was a classical piece. I didn't know it comes from this movie.

This could be a whole other subject: Movies that were very popular when they were released but didn't hold up over time and are forgotten.

This film made the equivalent of $1.348 billion (by 2023 standards, inflation adjusted) yet only has 36k votes on IMDB.

I haven't seen the film myself but that's a major box office performance with a very low vote turnout on IMDB.

It's aged poorly, to say the least.

By now, everyone has realized that the lead actors are terrible, the music is sappy, and love damn well DOES mean saying you're sorry. Convincingly!
