Cult classics you enjoyed
 

If y'all enjoyed any cult classics, then talk about 'em and put 'em in any order ya want. For a list, go here: Category:Cult films


Well, I'll start us off.

Bubba Ho-Tep - This movie was great and I remember the first time I saw it. Bruce Campbell was a good choice for Elvis and Ossie Davis played a good JFK. I really enjoyed the plot and the fact that this movie was a hybrid horror type o' deal. If a sequel doesn't get made, then that's fine with me.

Dawn of the Dead (original) - Admit it...zombies are cool. If this the only George Romero I ever see again, that's all right. I'm glad I was able to catch this on IFC when it was on a few months ago. If zombies ever invade my local mall, I'll probably go in there with some friends and chop till I drop.

The Search for Animal Chin - This has to be one of favorite skatboarding movies of all time. The five Bones Brigade skaters it starred traveled around many places while having fun, search of a wizened old man, Won Ton "Animal" Chin. Stacy Peralta really wanted to start the whole "adventure movie" aspect of skateboarding, and he did just that.

The Evil Dead - This movie proved how much of a genius Sam Raimi is. I thought the plot was quite original and it funny seein' Bruce scream like a girl. :lol: The makeup effects looked very real to me and the special effects -- mixed with the campy gore -- made for a good combination. If Raimi didn't make this, and/or if he wasn't childhood buddies with Bruce Campbell, then he wouldn't be where he is today.

Just watched a really good one this afternoon that I'd been meaning to see for years: Black Christmas.

It's a slasher flick that predates Halloween by 4 years and, in my opnion, was *better* than Halloween.

Really good flick with a GREAT twist-ending.

MallRats. Clerks. the Sandlot. RENT.

ooooh.


no self respecting corporate slave has not laughed their ass off at Office Space (and secretly wanted a red Swingline stapler)

....not like The Princess Bride? Inconcievable! (Andre the Giant! :D )

And my fave Halloween flick has always been The Rocky Horror Picture Show...it's just....oh, Rocky!

Clerks was outstanding... Man I love TONS of these movies!!!

Two words:

Maximum. Overdrive. :)

Rocky Horror....nuff said.*does the timewarp*

That list of Cult Movies on Wikipedia is bogus, though -- who ever heard of Tim Burton's Batman being a cult movie? Last time I checked, 'cult favourite' was synonymous with 'horrendously unprofitable in every way', no?

Dead Alive, Child's Play 2, DOTD(orig), Clerks (all askew flicks).

Master of the Flying Guilletione

Blade Runner
Meet the feebles
Toxic Avenger
Big trouble in little china
Commando

I could probably list 50 movies that are on that "list", but I don't feel like going through the whole thing and seeing what they consider cult movies.


Boondock Saints
Donnie Darko
The Toxic Avenger
El Mariachi
Eraserhead
Serenity
Mallrats

Darkman
Pee-wee's Big Adventure
Big Trouble in Little China
Army of Darkness
The Beastmaster
Freaks

The Phantom Of The Paradise..my all time fave! It came out before Rocky Horror but didn't get much respect or time from fox...sounds just like everything else I like that fox screws over lol.
It's also Director Brian Depalma's first film.:D

The Faculty
Battle Royale
Dog Soldiers
Monster Squad

The Jersy Trilogy(Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy)
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
Comic Book the Movie
Dawn of the Dead original
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1
Evil Dead 2
Titan A.E.

Also, does Snakes on a Plane count as a cult film anymore?

that's what I thought it ment also..but everyones listing all of these big box office movies...I don't think people understand what a cult favorite is..*shruggs*

UHF. Always and forever.

hahah hell yeah! that movie rocks so much!:D

UHF....? It doesn't ring a bell.

Late 80's Weird Al movie where he sets up a television station. Also has whatshisface, the guy who played Kramer on Seinfeld.

It's actually pretty freakin' funny.
