Assault On Precinct 13 (1976) - virtually ignored in the USA until it received rave reviews in the UK
Reservoir Dogs - made more in the UK than in the States (I read it made more in London than it did in the States)
Donnie Darko - made more in UK and Italy than the US

	You know everything is not an anecdote. You have to discriminate. You choose things that are funny or mildly amusing or interesting. You're a miracle! Your stories have NONE of that. They're not even amusing ACCIDENTALLY! "Honey, I'd like you to meet Del Griffith, he's got some amusing anecodotes for you. Oh and here's a gun so you can blow your brains out. You'll thank me for it."

It only managed to recoup it's budget overseas, and through video rental sales.
