Line 117:
* All the works of Jean-Luc Godard in the 60s are praised by lovers of European film, but there was a period in the early part of that decade when a handful of his movies (including ''Vivre Sa Vie'' and ''Contempt'') were initially bombs.
* [[Sergio Leone]]
** The "Man With No Name" spaghetti westerns were popular, but critics didn't take them seriously because... spaghetti westerns are automatically cheap [[B-Movie|B-movies]]. Read [[Roger Ebert]]'s [http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19670515/REVIEWS/705150301/1023 review] of ''[[For a Few Dollars More]]'' from 1967- he gives it a positive rating but treated it more like a [[Guilty Pleasure]] than a genuine work of art. Ebert himself lampshades this in his [https://web.archive.org/web/20070430121624/http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F20030803%2FREVIEWS08%2F308030301%2F1023 Great Movies review] of ''[[The Good, the Bad and the Ugly]]''.
** Leone's operatic western ''[[Once Upon a Time in the West]]'' was not received very well upon release in 1968. These days, you'd be hard-pressed to find a notable director who doesn't claim to have been influenced by it in some way, and it frequently ends up on Greatest Films lists.
* ''[[The Great Race]]'' was initially derided in cinemas for being too cartoony (which was said mostly because it came from an apparently unexpected source: Blake Edwards). Several years went by before it gained the popularity it truly deserved, to the point where it inspired the Hanna-Barbera primetime series ''[[Wacky Races]]'' and ''[[The Perils of Penelope Pitstop]]''.
