5. The Wicker Man (2006)
A bona fide cult classic, Robin Hardy's 1973 film is widely held up not only as one of the best horror films, but one of the best films overall to have been produced in the British Isles in the 1970s. Naturally, fans were always going to be touchy about an American remake; but no one could ever have predicted the way it would turn out. With the still-esteemed (at that point) Nicolas Cage in the lead, and a fairly well-regarded director in Neil LaBute, there were initial indications that the Wicker Man remake might be an interesting transposition of the original to a contemporary American setting. However, 'interesting' might not be the word anyone would use for the resulting film. We all know the drill: Cage in a bear suit punching a woman, commandeering a bike at gunpoint, roundhouse-kicking Leelee Sobieski. and screaming, "Not the bees, not the bees!" Credit where it's due: The Wicker Man remake can definitely be classed as another cult classic, but for very different reasons than the original.
