Birth of a Nation.
The movie was TOO brutal to be sure, had a truth in it that was too unpalatable for a mass audience, and came too soon after other similar movies (12 years a slave and Selma).
But those weren't the reasons it ended up being shunned. And that's a shame. Other directors movies have gone on to great acclaim even though the director was accused of something. Polanski anyone? |

Heaven's Gate is basically the king of this.

But IMO he should have gotten BOTH. |

Agreed. But I thought it was better than Polanskis movie. |

The Exorcist of course did well with the public and critics, but The Sting pushed it aside at the Academy Awards. Friedkin's movie didn't win any top-tier Oscar.

How Do You Know (2010), directed by James L. Brooks, starring Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd and Jack Nicholson. Sounds like a winner, right? Except it wasn't funny or entertaining, just long and boring. I blame this film for driving Nicholson into an early retirement.
