2. #17: Xanadu

The Thing: Xanadu, one of those famously bad movies that people in film nerd circles mock endlessly. This one is an Olivia Newton-John vehicle that flopped pretty hard at the box office. It just barely made its budget back, and with the way marketing costs work, that almost definitely means it was deep in the red.

But it's not all bad! There's some ELO music in there. That rules. And it also has a little bit of Don Bluth animation, which is, quite frankly, shocking. It's like finding out that Walt Disney did some work on Showgirls. Xanadu is so legendarily bad that it was part of the inspiration for John Wilson to start the Razzie Awards.

The Comic: This comic is pretty much a perfect example of why I wanted to do this article. No one ever really knows what's going to be a hit. Sometimes you're dead wrong. And when you are, you create a comic book adaptation of Xanadu.

It's a comic adaptation of a musical, for godsakes. Why would you do that?
