Ha, I laughed at how many people say something in the line of "I don't know if this is cult..." or "Last I heard, this was cult..."
Come on, the whole 'cult'-thing? It's just some hautaine term reviewers use, just like Sony inventing the term 'hardcore gamer'.
Anyway, here are some non-'Hollywood blockbuster' style movies that are definitely worth a watch:
- Park Chan-Wook's Vengeance Trilogy, consisting out of: Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Old Boy and Lady Vengeance. Incredibly dark humor combined with some raw drama and torture sequences. Three movies that explore how one can go to get revenge.
- Anything by Studio Ghibli. Porco Rosso, Grave of the Fireflies, Princess Mononoké - all of them, awesome pieces of animation
- Dead Leaves. It's like dropping acid on a roller coaster ride, but without the brain damage.
- Delicatessen. A surrealist black comedy with a post-apocalyptic setting, need I say more?
