10 Movies That Deserved To Become Cult Classics (But Didn't)

In another case of looking at the folks involved and wondering how in the holy hell this particular project hasn't gone on to become a cherished player in the cult classic world, Shane Black's black comedy crime picture by the name of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is undoubtedly adored by some, but nowhere near as much as it should be; or even some of the director's other once underrated showings like The Nice Guys, for example.

Combining a pre-Iron Man Robert Downey Jr. with a Val Kilmer who was clearly loving every second of delivering Black's excellent dialogue and dropping the odd improvised gem into the mix, what definitely ranks as one of all three talented figures' most overlooked performances sadly didn't exactly gobble up the millions at the box office.

And while the reviews were strong at the time of its arrival, KKBB just hasn't ever grown into the all-round cult classic it definitely had the makings to be for a time.

If you haven't had the pleasure of watching RDJ and Kilmer's Harry and "Gay" Perry, respectively, bickering and showing off some of the finest on-screen chemistry of the noughties in this neo-noir should-be classic, though, then do treat yourself.
