RE: I thought it was excellent as well... not surprising it didn't get much love...

What's new about endless rehashings and remakes? Or 'cartoon' movies? Or 16 (take your pick) Rambo? or Batman? or Thor? movies?
original screenplays are scarce and I think except for the first couple decades....maybe 1939 was THE year, difficult to source.
It's pretty sad that one of the worst movies EVER made, 'Battlefield Earth' is so funny to me that I'll watch part of it when I see it broadcast. But the endless repeats of a dystopian future don't get me any more (Divergent / Hunger Games)
Even the Sequal to Creature From The Black Lagoon, The Shape Of Water got high regard.
Like Water For Chocolate got 10 (TEN) Ariel Awards (Mexican Oscars) while the 'Academy' completelly ignored 'em.
Look at the numbers. Ticket prices go up, driving incredible salaries while attendance is DOWN by several measures. My theater NOW has 'reserved seats' which means I must plan a day or so ahead if I wish to see a movie. Popcorn? $$$ and with crank case drippin's, not butter.
