The Sharknado series represents a type of movie that insists on winking at the camera so often and with such obnoxious intensity, you can barely hear the miserable dialog. They are not happy accidents, which is how you can, and should, define most of the top cult films of all time. Besides not being very well-made, entertaining, or even interesting, they are “cult movies” of the absolute worst kind.

I hope no one is expecting a Sharknado movie to show up on this list of the 15 best cult movies ever.
