10 'Rotten' Films That Will Eventually Be Viewed As Classics

4. Marie Antoinette

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 55% Why It'll Be Re-Assessed As A Classic: There is no other period movie like Marie Antoinette - which could be why critics were so torn over what to feel about it when it was released in 2006. Sofia Coppola's biopic of the titular Gallic monarch is unconventional, in that it plays around liberally with history, allows modern fashion influences to creep into the lavish design (a pair of Converse appear in one scene) and uses anachronistic music on the soundtrack. As it's a Sofia Coppola film, though, the playlist is a huge part of the film's personality - you get songs from New Order, Siouxsie Sioux and the Banshees and The Cure - and that was a major part of what was initially so jarring to some. Now it seems like a genius conceit, as the modern stylistic influences keep Marie Antoinette contemporary and relatable while also making it one of the coolest films of the last ten years. Of course, it also helps that the eclectic cast is so on-form - Kirsten Dunst, Jason Schwartzman, Rip Torn and co. are all effective in their roles as American-accented French royalty. The MVP is Coppola, though, layering so much style on the film that it's near-dizzying.
