**Movies that were big hits when they were released, but have not remained popular over time** 1. 10 2. Love Story 3. Every Which Way But Loose The quirky 1978 comedy was the biggest hit of Clint Eastwood’s career up until that point, and was the #4 film in U.S. box office sales that year; its sequel, _Any Which Way You Can_, was similarly popular. Both films have largely disappeared from the consciousness. ---
