Cult films

[A Weary Exile]

The Thing

My all time favorite horror/sci-fi movie, original poster if you haven't seen this movie see it now.

 

[War Penguin]

"Silent Running"? Anyone?
EDIT: I think In Bruges is considered cult. Deserves some attention.

If you're not offended by gratuitous amounts of gore and sex I would say Cannibal Holocaust. I couldn't watch it, my friend tried to make me watch it but I just don't like that kind of thing, he seemed to enjoy it though (I think he needs to see a therapist). Suffice it to say that this movie is not for children, or some adults even.

The concept for the movie is better than the actual film. I wouldn't suggest it to anyone purely on the grounds you mentioned. But It is worth looking at the story behind the film.

Think of it as a proto-Blair Witch.

Savior is a very moving and well executed film featuring Dennis Quaid at his absolute best.

Stalker: a 30 year old Russian Sci Fi with no special effects and four minute long shots. I fell in love with the work of Andrei Tarkovsky after that. haunting and patient.

City Of Lost Children/Delicatessen. Mind blowing lessons in production design.

Blade Runner: I'd go as far as saying THE definitive cult film in that it divides people so much.

I recently watched Meet the Feebles and cannot believe what I saw. Check it out.

Clue.

As in the movie based on the board game? Hell yes.

Also, Fight Club, and Shawn of the Dead.

Also, films that are kind of cultish: Ed Wood and Nightmare Before Christmas.

I got dibs on Tron and Half Baked

 

[Ren3004]

Fight Club. Also, Clockwork Orange is great, but I'm not sure what I like so much about the film.

 

[Lono Shrugged]

I got dibs on Tron and Half Baked

I call Tron Legacy!

 

[j0frenzy]

Repo! The Genetic Opera. Only time you will ever see Anthony Stewart Head sing as he disembowels someone.

I call Tron Legacy!

Dammit! You beat me to it

For me, the biggest "Cult" films would be Clerks, but my own personal "Cult" film would be 28 Days Later =P

 

[Captain Pancake]

Some say Alien is a cult film. I'm also keen on fight club and pulp fiction, all of these were amazing movies.

 

[kiteboy]

The beach

and the book is even better!

How is Clerks a cult film?

Clerks practically defined the term "Cult Classic" ask anyone who has seen it.

 

[SonicKoala]

Most anything by David Lynch - Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive (I probably spelled that wrong); all weird AS SHIT, but very awesome movies

 

[Lono Shrugged]

but my own personal "Cult" film would be 28 Days Later =P

Proof that anyone with an Xl 1 and after effects can make an awesome looking movie.

 

[Casual Shinji]

Pick up a few John Carpenter movies, such as Big Trouble In Little China (for fun, action and a wee bit of mystery), The Thing (for a paranoia-inspiring monster-flick), In the Mouth Of Madness (ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES EVER if you like Lovecraftian ideas), The Fog (for a classic ghost story) and many more.
Carpenter is a genius.

You forgot They Live with Rowdy Roddy Piper.

 

[blipblop]

anything by uwe boll...pfffttt... hahahahahahha!!!!

oh sorry thougt you ment evil taxsheltering crap movie making cult

 

[BuckminsterF]

Woody Allen films might be considered cult
Big Lebowski
Buckaroo Bonsai across the Eigth Dimension
Bottle Rocket
Rushmore
Time Bandits

 

[Skeleon]

You forgot They Live with Rowdy Roddy Piper.

You're right, how could I forget?

 

[hotacidbath]

Clue.

I love you. That is one of my favorite movies of all time. Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, Martin Mull, Christopher Lloyd and Michael McKean all together in a movie based on a board game? Destined for greatness.

I also enjoy most David Lynch films, except Wild At Heart but I blame Nick Cage for that.
