Legend was released in the US 40 years ago. Ridley Scott’s $25 million cult classic fantasy film bombed with $16 million domestic ($47 million adjusted) & $24 million worldwide; initial reviews were negative, but Tim Curry’s performance was praised.

I love the director’s cut of this film. It truly feels ethereal, and one of the most “fantasy” feeling films I’ve ever seen.
Super interesting movie. Even if you didn’t like it, it’s worth it to watch for the uniqueness alone. Opening scene is awesome though. Made me think I was going to love it
This might be one of the most immaculate looking mediocre movies ever made. It really is mesmerizing to watch just for the production design, light design, photography.
Had no idea this was a flop, it’s an all time classic in my house. Watched it all the time growing up, that tangerine dream sound track slaps.
I remember I saw it on Netflix some years ago. I don’t remember anything of the movie other than the one scene where someone says something like “be careful or we become shish kebob”. I also remember not liking it and thinking it was boring.
