Should you share my fondness for Marvel films and have watched them sequentially, it’s always delightful to catch sight of Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow together off-screen.

In my experience, there have been instances when a movie didn’t initially gain traction or garner much attention but eventually grew a dedicated following, becoming a cult classic. A prime example of this is “The Shawshank Redemption,” which has consistently ranked at the top of IMDb’s Top 250 Movies list for years. What makes this film remarkable is not its long-standing position at the top but rather that it gained popularity much later, through VHS copies and late-night airings on TNT.
