Eraserhead
Eraserhead was regarded as one of the finest movies of its day and continues to enjoy a significant amount of popularity even now. It took approximately five years from the time David Lynch began production on his first feature picture before it was finally made available to the general public for viewing.
It was the sort of narrative that people enjoyed, which is why it made $7 Million in box-office earnings against an investment of at least $10,000. Despite the fact that it received more criticism than the equivalent of likes at the time, it was the kind of movie that audiences loved.
