Chillax

Thanksgiving weekend is usually one of those weekends when one gets tired of fulfilling all their familial responsibilities and so they retreat to the nearest cine-plex to clear their mind.
I usually favor smaller and more interesting (to me) movies that don't generate much box office revenue.
For this list, the criterion is that a movie cannot have made more than 40 million dollars in domestic box office.
(Compiling such a list is more work than it would seem.)

The Best Movies A-Z (Which didn't do a lot of domestic box office).
American Psycho - $15 mil.
Blade Runner - $27.5 mil.
Cinema Paridiso - $12 mil.
Do The Right Thing 27.5 mil.
