Favourite Cult Film?

[AJR-Legend]

For anyone unclear on what a cult film is:

A cult film is a film that has acquired a highly devoted but relatively small group of fans. Often, cult movies have failed to achieve fame outside of the small fanbases; however, there have been exceptions that have managed to gain fame among mainstream audiences. Many cult movies have gone on to transcend their original cult status and have become recognized as classics; others are of the "so bad it's good" variety and are destined to remain in obscurity.

Mine would be:
Ferries Bueller's Day Off
Big Trouble In Little China
The Breakfast Club

Also so bad it's good:
Any Van Damme film...just gotta love them!

Van Damme films are always awesome, especially hard target and timecop.

[Reckonage]

Maybe too famous to count but it did say "exceptions which gain fame...".

Star Wars every time!

[Centarius]

City of God, one of the best films i've ever seen.

[XUnit]

Children of Men.

Quite a unique film.

Children of Men.

Quite a unique film.

not sure if its a cult film, but i know me and fate really liked that film alot too.

[XUnit]

I'm not sure about it either, but it's still been a very good film, imo.

One true cult film would be Planet Terror. It's easiely as good as 300 for me, and yet it was kinda overseen.

[Millo]

Quadrophenia

[Fate]

Legend wtf are you, wheres the big Lebowski on your list?? And Escape from new york! CON AIR!!! I also like Lost Boys, and agree with Legend on the breakfast club.

In Bruges is one of my favourite films, dunno if that is a cult film really.
Children of Men is awesome but I wouldn't call it a cult film tbh.

So bad it's good film would have to be Snakes on a plane, although that isn't actually that bad lol

[Centarius]

you'd class con air as a cult film? everyone i know likes that film lol.

Lost boys is a good call though

[AJR-Legend]

I like loads but didnt wanna list them all :P

And yes, Lost Boys is definitely an awesome one. I actually watched that last night which made me think of the thread.

[Mazman]

The. Big. Lebowski.

Ferris Bueller and Breakfast Club are immense too. they don't make 'um like that any more...

[XUnit]

No one has commented me on Planet Terror, what's up with this? lol
That movie is a true legend imo. :o

Haven't seen The Big Lebowski, yet. Might ask Sharkgun, if I can have it over the weekend or so.

[Fate]

Lost boys is a good call though

It gained a lot more fame after its release rather than on its release. Pulp Fiction is classed as cult but you'd be hard pressed to find someone that doesn't like it.

Planet Terror is ok X, a lot better than Death Proof, but it isn't as good as the older Romero classic zombie films.

[skar]

Romero is a genius, I dl'd the old dawn of the dead and watching it agen just makes it better.

[Ash]

ok i think your all neglecting the best of them all.
the best shittest movie of all time.

SNAKES ON A PLANE!

possibily one of the best cult films to this day.

Quadrophenia - Love that millo

And YES! legend Van Damme films (h)

[Centarius]

So bad it's good film would have to be Snakes on a plane, although that isn't actually that bad lol

ok i think your all neglecting the best of them all.

SNAKES ON A PLANE! (h)

ul ash :p

and death proof was probably the worst film i've ever seen...no thats a lie, the village was worse, but only marginally.

thats what happens when you only read the first line of peoples posts XD

[FrenZy]

Clockwork Orange, Pulp Fiction or Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, they're all immense
And Goodfellas which is epic, don't think it's exactly a 'cult movie' though.

[Fate]

I've not seen Quadrophenia, I'm a little put off as I didn't really like Tommy (The film that is, the album is immense)
