10 Movie Flops That Will Become Cult Classics

10. The Wicker Man

Destined for “so bad it’s good” status, Neil LaBute’s remake throws out everything that made the 1973 original work and brings in all the usual horror clichés: false scares, dream sequences and a cop hero who’s also a caricatured tortured soul.

To the delight of Bad Movies Fans, the role is played by Nicolas Cage, who conveys his character’s frustration by SHOUTING HIS LINES and saying everything 3 times. Should that fail, he also knows Kung Fu.

After dropping the F-bomb in front of small children and stealing a teacher’s bicycle at gunpoint, Nic steals the show by dressing up as a bear (long story) and punching out as many women as possible. Any hope that he’s reprising his character from Con Air literally goes up in smoke when he’s burned alive as a sacrifice.

The movie went up in flames too, making less than its $40 million budget at the worldwide box office.
