sometimes you just can’t trust that
rotten tomatos rating at least your name
is michael bolton welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 movies the
critics got wrong it’s a dildo for this
list we’re taking a look at films that
were under appreciated by critics upon
initial release but have since become
perennial classics is anything wrong
number 10 peeping tom what causes people
to be peeping toms this thriller from
director Michael Powell follows a serial
killer who gets a kick out of taking
women’s lives and capturing their
horrific deaths on film and just to kill
you isn’t enough friend
the movie proved too disturbing for
critics in 1960 killing Powell’s
filmmaking career in the United Kingdom
while peeping-tom might not be an easy
movie going experience audiences
eventually found that it was an
effective character study with something
significant to say about voyeurism and
sexual repression I’ve been watching you
Oh today the film is widely considered
the Hitchcockian masterpiece that Alfred
Hitchcock never made I made them watch
their own deaths
number 9 leg l’tesia monkeys was on the
pop this French comedy of manners from
the late 30s was the country’s most
expensive movie up to that point yes yes
yes of Ivette volume left together and
was preceded by much hype considering
director Jean Renoir’s successful track
record till then finally it will see she
may be but this showcasing of the
insensitivity of the upper echelon of
French society while on the brink of the
second world war did not sit well with
pretty much anyone who saw the film he
said well move the fact that I shot it –
damn you – oh it was even temporarily
banned by the French government despite
strong acting and hun Hua’s use of
complex camera techniques
the film was trashed by critics Cochin
fangirl LEDs are me with unfit to school
with it however its rediscovery
restoration and reconstruction in the
following decades led a complete
turnaround of opinion well she’s my good
and see both official state support
early on that evening where by its
themes use of satire and more have
elevated it to masterpiece status visual
thinking GTO juice craze on you know
why’d you throw browsers
how’d you know they’d like you number
eight the big lebowski plumber on the
heels of winning the Best Original
Screenplay Oscar for Fargo the Coen
brothers met mixed reviews with their
follow-up film I’m the dude man
your name’s Lebowski Lebowski at the
time many critics complained that The
Big Lebowski was meandering pointless
and amounted to nothing are you employed
sure employed over the years though
people found that’s exactly what makes
the film so brilliant Lord you can
imagine where it goes from here now The
Big Lebowski is widely considered the
Cohen’s funniest and most quotable
picture to date though even spawning a
number of philosophical debates there
rug really tied the room together did it
not some critics still might not abide
but the film’s cult following certainly
does here you go Larry you see what
happens you see what happens Larry this
what happens when you get stranger in
the ass Larry number 7 Harold and Maude
I’m day Marjorie Chardin but you would
call me Maude if Harold and Maude had
come out in this day and age critics
would likely hail it as a masterwork in
the spirit of filmmakers like Wes
Anderson in 1971 however critics
generally thought that the dark comedy
was offensive and mean-spirited
to disapprove the substantial age
difference between our title characters
was a turn-off
as well Harold lavish moon but as time
went by audiences found that the film
was not only unconventionally hilarious
but also romantic in its own strange way
sorrow comes from people who are this
yeah
allow themselves to be treated as that
thus an unlikely comedy about unlikely
lovers became an unlikely classic I am
number 6
Blade Runner this is a bad the worst yet
Blade Runner not only underperformed at
the box office but failed to impress
numerous critics – shall we continue
while its production values were praised
people were largely disappointed that
they didn’t get the action extravaganza
the ads promised the designers reckoned
that after a few years they might
develop their own emotional responses
with the release of Ridley Scott’s
director’s cut and final cut
audiences eventually realized that Blade
Runner was never intended to be an
action picture it was a film noir
mystery about characters ideas and
humanity must be expensive very since
then it’s evolved to be seen as one of
the most important sci-fi films ever
made all those moments will be lost in
time
like tears and rain number five Fight
Club no I am listening it’s just it’s a
little hard to know what to make of all
this a film is funny unique and
mind-blowing is Fight Club was destined
to become a cult classic slang in order
to achieve that status though it had to
endure several years of being
underappreciated you’re too old fat man
critics were split down the middle
unable to decide if Fight Club was bold
and daring or just rebellious without a
cause I am Jack’s smirking revenge
although critics didn’t know what to
make of it I understand the narrator’s
story undeniably spoke to a new
generation of lost non conformist
looking to rally against social norms at
the turn of the 21st century that’s the
stupidest thing I’ve ever heard and
found much of the success it failed to
find at the box office with its DVD
release trust me everything’s gonna be
fine
number four psycho like peeping tom
psycho is another 1960 thriller that
garnered controversy for its depiction
of violence and sexuality I think that
we’re all in our private traps psycho
especially got off to a rough start with
critics as Alfred Hitchcock prohibited
them from seeing any advanced screenings
out of fear they might spoil the film’s
twist
the hush-hush marketing resulted in some
critics labeling the final product as
gimmicky oh god the public on the other
hand was captivated by the film’s
numerous surprises and scares along with
the initially panned vertigo psycho has
been cemented among Hitchcock’s most
iconic outings they’ll see and they’ll
know and they’ll say why she wouldn’t
even have a fly number three
2001 a Space Odyssey I’m sorry Dave I’m
afraid I can’t do that to an extent it
isn’t a major surprise that 2001 a Space
Odyssey didn’t immediately receive
universal acclaim from critics
at first glance it’s easy to assume that
2001 is sluggish pretentious and artsy
fartsy this is a movie you need to watch
multiple times in order to peel back all
the layers once people took a closer
look though they found that 2001 was
nothing short of a revolutionary magnum
opus of the highest importance given the
film’s commentary on human evolution
it’s fitting that 2001 would grow on
critics with time
number two Citizen Kane that’s right
Citizen Kane often considered the
greatest movie of all time was not an
overnight sensation among entertainment
journalists I always gagged on that
silver spoon before the film was even
released Orson Welles butted heads with
William Randolph Hearst who provided the
primary inspiration for Charles Foster
Kane people would think what I tell him
to think unpleased Hearst banned Citizen
Kane from being mentioned in his papers
there’s only one person in the world to
decide what I’m gonna do and that’s me
despite initial bad press or lack of
press Citizen Kane did gain several
Academy Award nominations iein been very
rich I might have been a really great
man yet it’s shockingly only took home
one statuette and even received boos
from the crowd
oh how things have changed I’m sure
Auster came before we give our top pick
a proper rating here are a few honorable
mentions h80 II it was with this left
hand that old brother Cain struck the
blow that laid his brother low you’re
causing a major disturbance on my time
I’ve been thinking about this mr. Han if
I’m here and you’re here doesn’t that
make it our time but tonight it’s the
night that my beautiful teacher is
destined to be born number one
the shining oh when the shining first
hit theaters hardly anybody seemed to
like it
least of all Stephen King like my life
perchik he didn’t let me finish my sins
I said I’m not gonna hurt I’m just gonna
bash your brains critics complained that
Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation made little
sense and massacred the original vision
set forth in King’s novel I don’t think
that’s true the film even received two
Razzie nominations for worst director
and worst actress boy this storm is
really something isn’t it
in the tradition of Kubrick’s various
other films though it slowly progressed
from being an unsung masterpiece to
being an undeniable masterpiece
kissing can’t get to job er a date did
arguably even more influential than its
source material The Shining just goes to
show that some movies age like a fine
wine here’s Johnny
ah do you agree with our list life does
not stop and start at your convenience
yeah
piece of shit what other movies did the
critics screw the pooch on no cut it cut
