Your favorite Cult Classics

[LAW]

The movies that spawn a ton of one-liners that only you and a handfull of others understand (and when you run into these people at bars, oh the fun in reciting the lines!). The movies that didn't attain their deserved glory in theatrical release. The movies that you (and a handfull of others) will never forget and that you pray will have a proper DVD release with commentaries explaining what the hell they were thinking (or a DVD release, period!).
The cultiest of the cultest, cult classics:

Repo Man
The Dark Backward
Wizards
Fritz the Cat
Spaceballs
Head
Return of the Living Dead

More brains, I mean.. more examples please!

FREEWAY

DUDE, WHERE`S MY CAR

SPACEBALLS (allthough i don`t really consider this as a cult film)

in fact some of the choices i`m seeing are not "really" cult classics! even mine aren`t!

for one thing i don`t think Full Metal Jacket, Pulp Fiction, and Spaceballs are cult classics? to me a cult classic is a class 'B' film that is only going to appeal to a certain niche group of people...

[Strider]

"Army of Darkness"
"Reservoir Dogs"
"Pulp Fiction"
"Fight Club"
"Memento"
"A Clockwork Orange"
"Requiem for a Dream"

[QUENTIN]

Kids, I love Pulp Fiction as much as the next guy, in fact much much more, it's my favorite movie of all-time, but Cult it ain't. The flick grossed over $100 million and nabbed a slew of Oscar nominations including a win...way too mainstream for Cult status in my book, as are many of these choices(Full Metal Jacket? Robocop? 12 Monkeys?). Some of my picks:

Aguirre: Der Zorn Gottes
Eraserhead
Sid & Nancy
Detour
Faces
Drugstore Cowboy
Two-Lane Blacktop
Vanishing Point
River's Edge
All That Heaven Allows
Heavy Metal
Pickup on South Street
The Immoral Mr. Teas
Stroszek
Assault on Precinct 13
The Golden Age
Peeping Tom
The Street Fighter Series
Quadrophenia
Saint Jack

[HHH123007]

Mallrats.....or better yet, any Kevin Smith movie!

[Jasonite]

I'd say Army of Darkness, Big Trouble in Little China, and Spaceballs are my picks.


Also agree with Quentin on the movies that are NOT cult. I'd add Fight Club and A Clockwork Orange, the latter of which IS an unqualified classic. Memento I'd put, but I'm not sure if it's a cult classic or not, it's only been out for little more than a year. It's still got to stand the test of time.

I wouldn't have reckoned 10 Rillington Place to be a CULT favourite, but if you say so...then stick it on my list ;)!!!

I bloody adore this film. John Hurt's stunning performance makes me weep like a fucking idiot every time I see it...and Richard Attenborough is a revelation as John Reginald Christie.

Wonderful film.

[Scarface King]

Half Baked

Office Space

Scarface

The Rocky Horror Picture Show (8/10)

[KyleG]

Definitely The Wickerman and The Goonies

SO, Lone Starr, now you see that evil will always triumph over good, because good is dumb.

Before you die there is something you should know about us, Lone Starr.

What?

I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate.

What's that make us?

Absolutley nothing, which is what you're about to become.
