Films that have the biggest budgets in the world and the biggest stars on the planet but for some reason or another, just fail to connect with audiences.
With Pacific Rim storming into the box office this past week, and The Lone Ranger slowly drowning after only a couple short weeks in release, we thought it would be a good time to look back on some of the biggest box office bombs of all time. Now, these are not the biggest and we know that there are certainly films out there that have done a lot worse than what we’ve put on this list.

Several factors weigh in on the decision. This leaves many quality scenes on the cutting room floor, and directors pulling their hair making that tough decision. Luckily for us, such scenes are often included on the DVD extras, or sometimes in a director’s cut designed to reintroduce those scenes.

With the ever increasing number of provocative movies looking to push the boundaries of human taste and decency, we here at THN have decided to take a look at the stand-out movies that really got us this far and did they really deserve the notoriety they received. Growing up with my love of films and hearing about certain titles I was not allowed or unable to see because of the BBFC’s banned list of video nasties only made me more intrigued to see what I was missing out on.

The Iron Giant tells the classic story of boy meets giant metallic alien monster, and also happens to be one of the most underrated animated movies of the ’90s (and ever, really). When said huge giant crash lands on Earth, it smashes its head and accidentally turns “good” (it’s an animated movie, c’mon), knocking out its programming to “destroy the planet and everybody on it.” That’s when the giant befriends Hogarth, a nerdy kid with a passion for science-fiction.

Young children, abandoned by the intervention of history in the lives of their high-ranking Nazi parents, must travel across the whole of their cracked-open country to seek refuge with their grandmother in the North. More than simply an illumination of a forgotten time, Lore is an earthy coming-of-age tale that grafts the rawness of youth onto the wreckage of the 20th century.

The Greatest Movies We Never Want to See Again: ‘Requiem for a Dream’ Darren Aronofsky’s portrait of addiction is captivating and deeply disturbing for many reasons. The film follows heroin addicts Harry (Jared Leto), his girlfriend Marion (Jennifer Connelly), and their friend Tyrone (Marlon Wayans) as they go deeper down the rabbit hole, becoming increasingly desperate to seek out their next high.
