Vindicated by History/Film: Difference between revisions

Line 208:

* ''[[Dazed and Confused]]''.

* ''[[The Shawshank Redemption]]'' was released to critical acclaim and a handful of Oscar nominations. Box office success? Not so much, as it was very much in the shadows of ''[[Forrest Gump]]'' and ''[[Pulp Fiction]]'' at the time of its release. In its first run it made $16 million versus a $25 million budget. Its current popularity is almost exclusively thanks to heavy broadcasts on cable and home video.

** A TV special on the director showed that the public chased it on video after hearing its name over and over during the [[Academy ~~Awards~~]]. A theatrical re-release also took place during the Oscar season, in which the film was much more successful.

* The consensus in 1995 was that the ''[[Clerks]]'' prequel ''[[Mallrats]]'' sucked (with a $2.1 million gross against a $6.1 million budget), but many have since agreed that its quality equals that of ''[[Clerks]]'' and ''[[Chasing Amy]]''.

* Wes Anderson wasn't really a well-regarded filmmaker until the success of ''[[The Royal Tenenbaums]]''.
