Cult classic movies?

I am not sure what cult classic really means, but go ahead and post what you think are cult classics.

1. Phantom of the paradise

Rocky horror picture show is nothing compared to this.

2. Ravenous

One of the best dark comedies ever.

3. Igby goes down

4. Wet hot american summer

This is the dumbest movie ever made. It even has fart commentary on the dvd. Yet it is also genius. Try and figure out that logic while I go fondle my sweaters.

5. Down by law

Tom Waits is one of the best musician actors ever.

6. Red rock west

7. Repo man

8. The adventures of buckroo banzai across the 8th dimension

This movie has a plot somewhere, but I can't remember. It is nuts though. Watch it.

9. Flash Gordon

Hell yeah!

10. Harold and maude

11. Defending your life

12. Heathers

Remember when Christian slater was in good movies?

13. Barton fink

The Coen brothers best and weirdest film.

14. Delicatessen

Cannibalism is hilarious.

15. Welcome to the dollhouse

16. Return to oz

This movie is trippy.

17. Pink floyd's the wall

18. Near dark

19. They live

20. Better off dead

21. American Psycho

The Cable Guy

American Psycho

I think it means a film that wasn't too popular in theatres, but became popular later on dvd or vhs. I could be wrong though.

My pick would be Fight Club.

It comes on AMC all the time if you haven't seen it.

My picks are more popular than yours, but they certainly didn't get the attention they deserved: Fight Club, The Cable Guy, Dumb and Dumber, Training Day? I'm bad at this :(.

I think these count.

Let's see if I can think of a quickeeeee list.

• Repo Man
• Nowhere
• Master of the Flying Guillotine
• Django
• Return of the Living Dead
• Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai
• Hercules (Ferrigno)
• Beyond the Valley of the Dolls
• Night of the Comet
• Tokyo Fist
• Rock N' Roll High School
• Starstruck (1982)
• Death Race 2000
• Barbarella
• Flash Gordon
• Texas Chainsaw Massacre
• Rocky Horror Picture Show

Dont know any of those movies, except repo man.

Big Trouble in Little China 8)

My picks are more popular than yours, but they certainly didn't get the attention they deserved: Fight Club, The Cable Guy, Dumb and Dumber, Training Day? I'm bad at this :(.

Training day was pretty popular and it won an Oscar so I am pretty sure it doesnt count. I think the others do though.

Streets of FIre staring Michael Paré, Diane Lane, Rick Moranis and Willem Defoe~

Boondock Saints, Starship Troopers, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Toxic Avenger, and The Army of Darkness come to mind.Yagr_Zero

Awesome movie.

I still need to see the sequel.

Great choice. Michael Pare has always been a pretty underrated actor and I love the songs in the movie. Wilem dafoe was a great villain.

Oh I love that movie!:D I watched it a few months ago as it suddenly came up on one of my movie channels and I was surprised how much I still enjoyed the "timeless" little film. Gosh I wish they had it on Blu-ray but oh well.

12. Heathers

Remember when Christian slater was in good movies?

Film-Guy

This along with these

freek666

Here are my additions to the list:

A great post-apocalyptic film from the mind of Harlan Ellison.

Great visuals and trippy animation. I love this sci-fi film.

"The penis is EVIL!"

Pretty cool B movie, based on a comic book.

Army of darkness came up, but shame of you to forget Evil dead 2 -.-

Also: "Braindead"

Bad Taste, Meet the Feebles and Dead Alive. Yes, Peter Jackson made good movies before Lord of the Rings.

Has anyone else seen The Toxic Avenger

Most of mine have been named, so I will just add a few more...

Has anyone else seen The Toxic Avenger

despa1r_fact0r

Yes, and it's the greatest thing ever.

I agree with most of the recommendations in this thread, but here are some other great ones:

Scanners

El Mariachi

Re-Animator

Hard Boiled (don't really know how "cult" this is, but certainly not a major success)

and my personal favorite: (predictable, I know)

The Big Lebowski

Serenity (Firefly the show it's based has more of a cult status though imo)

Garden State (with Natalie Portman)

Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

The Program (old football movie)

Ong Bak The Thai Warrior (Tony Jaa)

Kung Fu Hustle (Stephen Chow)

Half Baked

I could be wrong on these but they're classic to me.

I'm surprised this one hasn't come up...

Also, add...

this

Escape from New York.

Most of mine have been named, so I will just add a few more...

14. Save the green planet
