How did they pitch that movie, and how did it actually work?

I have been readdressing some of my favorite movies, and realized that some of them shouldn’t have ever been made…

I was wondering what movies other community members are surprised ever got made – and ended up a success. We’re talking about movies that are generally well-liked or appreciated…not the ones that are the “told-ya-so” moments.

My main example is “The Firm,” which, barring the fact that it was based on a wildly successful book, had to be insane to pitch: “Okay, so it’s an action movie about tax evasion, and the hero is a tax lawyer who takes the bar exam and then fights the mob.” I’m a tax lawyer – we don’t generally jump out of so many windows.

So are there any others, my dear community?
