Animated Box Office Flops That Deserved To Be Hits

Prison

The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, The Great Escape, and Cool Hand Luke are the most revered and popular films set inside prisons. If you've seen all of them yet still crave a good story set in the Big House, check out one of the following underrated prison movies. Some are little-known titles, others movies that got noticed upon their original release, only to see their status fade over time. All of them are guaranteed to absorb you.What makes people want to spend time watching films about prisons and penitentiaries? Most likely it's because none of us would want to spend time in such places. Viewing movies about them allows us to vicariously face things that would terrify us in real life. Jails are inherently dramatic locations, anyway, where riots, hostage situations, and occasional abuses of authority occur. These underrated examples of prison cinema utilize those elements and more to give audiences a potent experience.

Daniel Craig

When Daniel Craig was announced as the new James Bond in 2005, the backlash was swift and severe. Fans and critics alike were dubious of the blonde-haired, blue-eyed British actor, known mainly for his domestic, indie cinema work. However, when Casino Royale was released a year later, Craig's rugged yet empathetic performance redefined the iconic spy and reset the narrative. Casino Royale was a massive success, grossing $594 million worldwide and earning positive reviews from critics.Craig went on to star in four more James Bond films, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall, Spectre, and No Time to Die, before ultimately hanging up his suit as the secret agent. Over his tenure as Bond, Craig starred in five films, earning nominations for several awards and grossing a total of $3.5 billion worldwide.&nbsp;This list ranks Daniel Craig James Bond movies.

Superhero films dominate modern cinema, with Marvel and DC properties regularly breaking box office records and reshaping Hollywood's approach to franchise filmmaking. But before Black Panther earned its Oscar nominations and The Dark Knight redefined what comic book movies could achieve, the genre weathered some spectacular failures.
