Has there been any movies that were supposed to be TRASH but ended up being a classic?

Purple Rain

American Pie for sure. No one had any idea that movie was going to turn into what it was and spawn a series.

Dredd (2012)

Great answer.

Face off

I still don’t know if Face Off is a good bad movie or a bad good movie.

Edge of Tomorrow aka Live Die Repeat.



Also...wasn’t Apocalypse Now plagued with production issues, was over budget, Brando showed up overweight and not even having read the script?

I’ve heard people say it’s a miracle the movie even got finished at all, and it’s considered a classic.
