15 Terrible Recent Movies Destined To Become Cult Classics

12. The Canyons

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 23% Why It Sucks: Paul Schrader's film sold itself on the premise of Lindsay Lohan playing a version of herself opposite porn star James Deen, which while intriguing, was about all the movie actually amounted to. A bizarre cornball romantic drama packed with excessive nudity, it's certainly unique to a point, though ultimately never really rose above being a demented curio. Why It'll Become A Cult Classic: It does, in fairness, feature one of Lindsay Lohan's better performances, which while not saying much, is enough to make the film a favourite of the actress's devoted fans. Moreover, it's such a ridiculously weird film (with a darkly dreamlike, almost Lynchian style) that it inevitably attracts many film buffs looking for something a little different: after all, how many famous Hollywood directors and actresses are going to work on a crowd-funded film opposite a male porn actor?
