9. Fifty Shades Darker

Why It's Terrible: Somehow less sexy and more poorly written than the first movie, Fifty Shades Darker ramps up the tension by introducing wildly unnecessary thriller elements to the central narrative, including an hilarious subplot where Christian Grey goes missing in a helicopter crash for all of about three minutes.

The dialogue is rancid, the nudity is infuriatingly restrained, and so outside of the under-sexed housewife demographic, this one just won't do enough to get the juices flowing, pardon the phrasing.

Why It'll Be A Cult Classic: Viewed as a comedy, this becomes a completely different film altogether, a barmy soap opera with occasional, bafflingly tasteful sex scenes that's sure to endear it to an entire generation of ironic viewers.

With a few glasses of wine, a tub of ice cream and some knowing friends, this is definitely an entertaining movie and never boring, even if it totally fails at its intent as a serious, sexy excursion.
