12 Terrible Recent Movies Destined To Become Cult Classics

10. London Has Fallen

Gods Of Egypt

Why It's Terrible: This is a perfunctory but inevitable blockbuster sequel so jam-packed with not-so-casual racism and cheesy one-liners that it makes the original look positively restrained by comparison.

From the scarcely-veiled paycheck-grabbing of its cast (except Morgan Freeman, who straight-up admitted it in an interview) through to the pandering revenge porn tone, London Has Fallen virtually defines the cynical, lazy Hollywood sausage factory at its very worst.

Why It'll Be A Cult Classic: Simply, there's always going to be an audience for a movie where the hero tells a terrorist, "Why don't you pack up your stuff and head back to F***headistan or wherever you came from?"

Outside of the lucrative gun-totting redneck demographic, there are legions of B-movie fans who will keep this movie alive with their semi-ironic viewing parties, chuckling at the dialogue but genuinely savouring the admittedly functional action sequences.
