Movie cult followings

[KefkaCultist]

Clerks.

But I'm a big Kevin Smith fan and treat most anything he does as gold.

Spoiler: Am I really the first person to say this? Well, you all just lost, then.

That made me laugh good job.

On Topic: I think Godzilla has a pretty big cult following.

 

[maxxx1234]

Trainspotting!
like fight club, it is huge in book and movie form.
I think lots of book/movies get good cult followings (HP, LoTR) though some have big enough box office earnings to perhaps fall into a 'not cult' status?
This is probably due to having the book as a supplement to the movie, and a way of extending enjoyment of a franchise...
Just my opinion though.
Also I gotta say, these are pretty much all really really good films or series... amazing that they are all 'cult' movies and not more well known

 

[reignsupreme]

star wars is not a cult film at all its just really popular. I would have to say either donnie darko or A clockwork orange

 

[Nouw]

StarWars hands down, think of everything it has been made into!

 

[FalloutJack]

I'm going to say Evil Dead, more specifically Bruce Campbell himself.

 

[high_castle]

Did someone say Plan 9 yet? At least in my area, that still sells out midnight screenings.

 

[SckizoBoy]

Why no Indiana Jones?

(apart from that fridge BS)

Anyway, vote would be for Pulp Fiction

 

[rokkolpo]

Can we call the twilight fans a cult?
Because they're HUUUUGE!

 

[Broken Boy]

Rocky Horror gets my vote. Maybe I'm a bit biased but there it is... ; )

 

[V TheSystem V]

Spoiler: Am I really the first person to say this? Well, you all just lost, then.

YOU'RE TEARING ME APART LISA!

I would say a film that has a cult following among many I know:

 

[Scorched_Cascade]

Trainspotting has my vote-what is not to like about a bunch of unpleasant Scottish heroin addicts?

Fight Club and V for Vendetta are also up there

 

[Nemu]

Rocky Horror.
Prolly number 2 would be Harold and Maude.

Plus, 95% of the movies the previous posters have suggested aren't technically "cult" movies.

Okay, Star Wars is not cult by any means. Nor is Harry Potter. Now Labyrinth and Princess Bride you have legit suggestions, same for Rocky Horror.

Though if we're going for cult status while being close to having a legitimately large following? Boondock Saints.

(Except it's not a cult movie. lulz)

It widely depends on what's considered a "cult movie" and who you judge to be part of the cult, as distinct from people who just enjoyed it at the time.

I would guess Rocky Horror is up there no matter how you slice it though.

I agree with this post, the Rocky Horror Picture Show has umpteen bazillion or so followers, and has been garnering them from every generation since it was made.


Bless you Tim Curry <3

 

[DJDarque]

My personal favorite is the Big Lebowski.

The Dude abides. The Big Lebowski is the best cult classic ever.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

I would guess Rocky Horror is up there no matter how you slice it though.

You ninja'ing bastard. However i would agree with you on that point.

OP: i'm gonna put in REPO! The Genetic Opera.

 

[Lionsfan]

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Boondock Saints

 

[CombiBlood]

Nobody can win this game...but I believe Fight Club.

fight club was awsome and completley different to what I expected

I expected some dark gritty serious movie aobut tough guys that bash eath other up

instead I got an off beat black comedey and it was awosme

correction you got a psychological thriller that was a black comedy and awesome.

 

[Flamezdudes]

Not the largest cult I don't think, but I think Let The Right One In has got quite a cult following on the internet atleast.

 

[deathspa202]

Troll 2 is a huge cult movie because of the fact that the fans are soooooo dedicated to it and it has a good fan base but its still underground.
It has grown a lot in the past few years and and the showings are always in some hole in the wall comic book shop or something.
