10 Serious Movie Moments That Are Unintentionally Hilarious

6. Nicolas Cage Freaks Out - Vampire's Kiss

Roughly 47% of the Internet's traffic consists of people watching Nicolas Cage montage videos, because while the guy has starred in his share of duds over the years, he always does something interesting and entertaining regardless of the film's quality. The dubious horror-comedy Vampire's Kiss is a perfect example, and in this rare scene that's supposed to be more terrifying than funny, Cage decides to tickle our funny bones anyway, and why not?

Few actors can portray unhinged mania as well as Cage, proven here as he removes his glasses and glares, eyes wide open, at one of his subordinates, while the camera lingers on his face, closing in and only exaggerating the insanity of the character. Keen-eyed viewers might also recognise the scene as having inspired the famous "You don't say?" Internet meme.
