Best Flops

Well, if they were flops, most people won't acknowledge them as good movies. These are my guilty pleasures, movies I enjoyed and couldn't believe were some of the world's most hated movies until I looked at the ratings on this site.

1. The Avengers
2. I-Spy
3. Wild, Wild West
4. Flubber
5. The Master of Disguise

In God We Trust

Flops

1. BattleField Earth
2. Star Wars I, II, & III

I would add the Robert De Niro/Eddie Murphy comedy SHOWTIME to that list.

If you mean by flop that a movie was a financial flop, that it didn't make all its money back in theaters, than I have to correct some things (however if you mean by flop, that the critics hated it, don't continue to read):

Wild Wild West wasn't a flop. The budget was $170,000,000 and it made more than $222,000,000 worldwide. Doesn't look like a flop to me. Maybe the critics didn't like it but it sure was a success.
Shawshawk Redemption was a success aswell. It cost $25,000,000 and made $28,341,000 in the US alone. It had a bad start at the box office, that's true, but it went on to be a success.
Someone mentioned Underworld 1 and 2. Both were successful, especially the first one. With a budget of $22,000,000 it made an amazing $21,800,000 on the opening weekend alone. All in all it made nearly $94,000,000 worldwide. Underworld 2 with a budget of $50,000,000 made more than 62,000,000 in the US alone.
Also Flubber back in 1997/1998 was an amazing success. With a budget of $36,000,000 it made nearly 93,000,000 in the US and another 85,000,000 everywhere else.
Star Wars 1,2 & 3 where successful aswell. They maybe didn't break the records of 4,5 & 6 but they still where a success. Especially Star Wars 3.
I know that nobody mentioned it here but most people think Godzilla was a huge flop back in 1998. With a budget of $130,000,000 it made over $379,014,294 worldwide. Critics hate it but it still was a huge financial success

My choices for some of the best flops would be:
1. Serenity - simply put amazing. It didn't make all the budget back in theaters, but with the DVD rentals and everything else it surely did. Anyway it still wasn't a success in theaters.
2. I Spy
3. Poseidon - not Oscar material but still an entertaining movie
4. Mission Imposible 3 - many people might disagree with me on that one, but I still thought it was a great action flick

A lot of people are having trouble with the subject of the thread. My choice is Bernie Mac's Mr. 3000, which made almost no money and probably sank his career. It was a great movie and absolutely did not fall into formula sports movie cliches.

i spy is definitely underrated.
