It's sad but true, other movies of that time period, like The Godfather, French Connection etc etc are always spoke of and remembered. i like both of these films but I couldn't watch them endlessly. Papillon i watch at least once every couple of months. I never tire of it. Epic
You and i both know it is a wonderful film ,and as you have pointed out did very well financially, but when i have told various friends of various ages about it they have never heard of it!Far lesser acclaimed films have been been put on a pedestal and remembered, hence my point underated otherwise younger generations would have been media informed of this great film!
@PALMARSH Couldn't be that underated when it quadrupled its budget and was the third highest grossing movies of 1973. It's not been underated by anyone till now.
