I think cinephiles already know about obvious intelligent classic cult movies that were hated by idiot moviegoers, unable to understand the plot. Known examples are John Carpenter's Sci-Fi horror The Thing (1982), or Ben Stiller's Tropic Thunder (2008), brilliant satire about Hollywood.
My heads up abut two other brilliant satirical Sci-Fi movies from director Paul Verhoeven, well known for his satirical style.
Obviously the illiterate idiots, clueless about what satire is, thought these two movies are just idiotic bullshit.

Blade Runner 2049 was so hated in the US the theaters were nearly empty every time. Hated because the media had a relentless campaign to tell people it was hated etc. It's probably the most brilliant movie in all time and it doesn't even compare.
I only ask you one question to prove it - What proves that the girl in the bubble was the one they were looking for?
