10 Great Movies That Audiences Originally Hated

10. Children Of Men

Children of Men is often called the best science fiction film of the 21st century. Some may disagree with that claim, but you'll be hard-pressed to find anyone today that genuinely thinks it's a bad movie.

The case was not so clear when Alfonso Cuarón debuted this film back in 2006.

On release, the film didn't make back its money at the box office and it seemed that audiences simply were not interested in the story this director wanted to tell. That all changed with time on the back of positive critical reactions that recognised the value of the movie. It's just that it took some time for general moviegoers to catch on to this film's prowess.

Back then, Emmanuel Lubezki was not a household name, but now, cinematographers everywhere look to this film for guidance.
