Very, Very Misunderstood Movies
I'm told that I have a somewhat strange taste in movies (mostly by my lowbrow, wanna-be film critic friends). What my friends have yet to discover is there is often an unintended epiphenomenal, or emergent, quality to so-called "B" movies was neither intended nor understood by the actors or directors of those movies.
Below is a list of films that critics and audiences alike dismissed as "a waste of money" or "a complete disaster". Often, it takes a very sophisticated mind (like mine) to comprehend these brilliant, yet unintended gems. I recommend you purchase and preserve for posterity these brilliant classics because it will only be centuries from now when the human brain has expanded enough to truly comprehend the level of genius contained in these films.
