8. Wayne's World

Wayne's World is such an absurdly entertaining and hilarious film that you probably assumed it was also a total blast for the cast and crew to make, right? Oh, how wrong we all were.

Several of the key players ended up clashing throughout shooting, namely star Mike Myers and director Penelope Spheeris, with Spheeris calling Myers "emotionally needy" and claiming that he "got more difficult as the shoot went along."

Spheeris was torn between the creative needs of Myers, co-star Dana Carvey, and producer Lorne Michaels, allegedly resulting in her shooting scenes three different ways on numerous occasions in order to keep them all happy.

Spheeris and Myers also butted heads over the final cut of the film, while Myers battled producers who had their own ideas for what Wayne's World should be.

And yet there's not even a hint of that strained production in the end result, which remains one of the most beloved studio comedies of the last 30 years.
