While I was standing at Hollywood Video the other day, I was thinking of true cult movies that I had rented over and over again during years of VHS/BETA and the introduction of HBO in my small town.

Cheech and Chong- Up in Smoke

Army of Darkness

Rocky Horror Picture Show (the only true cult movie IMO)

Heavy Metal (the movie)

Escape from New York

Animal House

Deliverance (great movie to open a bottle of wine and cuddle with the wife movie)




What are your cult movie selections?

Easy...#1. Donnie Darko.

Here are some of my other choices.

Akira :bow:
Happiness <--very twisted
Kung Pow
Reefer Madness
Tremors
....anything starring Chuck Norris :rofl:

Todd -

Army of Darkness...please...Evil Dead 2 was cooler and more "cult"...it was so cult it spurred those freaks like me to brave a frozen wonderland of extreme snow & ice to go see the AoD release in the theatres on opening night. But still...Evil Dead 2 was much more cult & better!!!

And may I throw in some others:

Night of the Comet
Labyrinth

Heavy Metal
Dark Star
Brazil
Blade Runner
Pink Floyd The Wall
RHPS
Airplane
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension
Mars Attacks

There are others I'd like to include, but that's a basic list.

(I wonder what a person's choices might reflect of their personalities?)

Tomas

I can't believe no one has mentioned the greatest movie of all time:

The Little Mermaid

Hmmmmmmm... Somehow The Little Mermaid doesn't strike me as a cult movie. :D

Those I listed above are the top ten of cult movies I have, but are not necessarily THE top ten. :)

Tomas

I hear arial is single Tu....

And we weren't looking for titles from you personal porn collection either.... :rofl:


Evil dead 2 huh.... I'll have make sure this is on my "do rent list"...

I like this... It will give me something to go rent when all the new stuff looks lame.

I love movies I have about 220 dvd's which include a lot of what has been posted.

how about

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (one of my all time favorites.
big trouble in little china
breaking away (REFUND)
american flyers
boyz in the hood (where you goin you fat f*** you ain't got a job.)

anyone seen pie?

Pi is great!!! Darren Aronofsky rocks my world. I remember getting to meet him once at an event and his though process is WONDERFUL! I can't wait to see his new film!

I thought of another. Swingers! That's money, baby! :D

What about:

Star Wars
Star Trek
The Ewok Adventure
2001: A Space Odyssey
SpaceBalls
Full Metal Jacket

OR - The 1991 Film 'Slacker'

And I think that every Kevin Smith film can be added...
Clerks
Mallrats
Chasing Amy
Dogma
Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back
Clerks II
Clerks the Cartoon
(Okay, I haven't seen Jersey Girl...so maybe that one doesn't count)

I might add 2001, SpaceBalls and Star Trek/Wars to the list (and the Kevin Smith group), but I'm not sure about the others being 'cult'...

Does anyone have a good definition of what a "cult film" is? Your background might give you a head start on that, CA... :)

(I would even slip my top film into the category, but I'm not sure it would be accurate - the '66 Cannes winner, A Man and a Woman (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061138/)).

Tomas

mystery science theater 3000 or whatever!! hows that...lol

Evil dead -- 1 and 2
army of darkness -- should have called it evil dead 3
remo williams - the adventure begins
heavy metal
buckaroo bonzai

Ah! Remo Williams. :D I should have included that on my list. Definitely.

Tomas

:rofl: I put pie instead of "pi" hahahaha[/i]

hudson hawk!

Most of mine have been mentioned, but I need to add

Monty Python and the Meaning of Life...

C'mon...

"every sperm is special, every sperm is great, if a sperm gets wasted, God gets quite irate"

Oh, and Brazil is awesome! I liked Baron Munchausen too.

In my high school days, our big "cult movie" was "The Hollywood Shuffle" with Robert Townsend. We would watch it in big groups, and quote it forever. It is a spoof on "blaxsploitation" films...

I believe it is: every sperm is sacred. I love monty python!

remembered another one...

Corvette Summer

Considering it is about the Catholic Church, you are probably right!! I also love the part with "the machine that goes PING"!! And the live organ donations...

**sigh** need to watch some Monty Python tonight...

OK I need some help with this one, does anyone here renember a movie from the mid 80's, it was kinda like a fast and furious of that time, called "The Wrath" maybe it was "the Wraith"? it had some guy that would race these dudes in a Black Sports car and he would race them and then kill them?
Anyone seen it? it was a good movie

remembered another one...

Corvette Summer

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Did anyone mention Blues Brothers? I think all of the others on my list have been mentioned... Terentino, Kevin Smith... I think the Matirx (all of em) may make it to cult fame. ... 12 Monkeys (Brad Pitt was brilliant) The Lost boys, another gem. and yes, I do recall the Wraith... one of the villans was calles "skank" he liked to inhale WD-40... beautiful

Men with Brooms (its a canada thing)
Strange Brew
The original Pink Panther movies with Peter Sellers

Considering it is about the Catholic Church, you are probably right!! I also love the part with "the machine that goes PING"!! And the live organ donations...

**sigh** need to watch some Monty Python tonight...

RUN AWAY!!!

That??? THATS not a killer bunny...

Oh...I remembered another one...

Tron

I might add 2001, SpaceBalls and Star Trek/Wars to the list (and the Kevin Smith group), but I'm not sure about the others being 'cult'...

Does anyone have a good definition of what a "cult film" is? Your background might give you a head start on that, CA... :)

(I would even slip my top film into the category, but I'm not sure it would be accurate - the '66 Cannes winner, A Man and a Woman (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061138/)).

Tomas


Ahhh...we probably should define! This is according to Wikipedia (not really a technical "source" but close enough for us):

"Cult film is a colloquial term for a film that has accrued a devoted group of fans. Often, cult movies have failed to achieve fame outside of a small group (however, there are some exceptions.) Sometimes, the group is bound to the film by a shared sense of ridicule for it, rather than artistic merit."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_film

They have a list of cult films there...I totally forgot the David Lynch classics!!!

Ok, if you're gonna add Corvette Summer, how about The Guyver?

You know, the super cheesy action movie from the early 90's.....kung-fu fighting with monsters....based on a Japanese manga of the same name....no?
Well, Mark Hamill was in that one too.

I think that having Mark Hamill in the cast automatically gives a movie 'cult' status. :D

how about the entire TROMA series, gotta give the Toxic Avenger some love to

how about the entire TROMA series, gotta give the Toxic Avenger some love to!
Ummm....................How about Big Trouble In Little China?

The Goonies!

Filmed in Astoria and Oregon coast

Truffel Shuffel anyone ? :D

Goonies was a cool movie.... Tron rocked.. I was just thinking that they need to remake that with today's technology... (the arcade game was cool too).


Attack of the Killer Tomoatoes....

OK I need some help with this one, does anyone here renember a movie from the mid 80's, it was kinda like a fast and furious of that time, called "The Wrath" maybe it was "the Wraith"? it had some guy that would race these dudes in a Black Sports car and he would race them and then kill them?
Anyone seen it? it was a good movie

Charlie Sheen was in that too.... my old room mate has that on DVD...great flick... and its "the wraith"


hmm... how about Maximum Overdrive..... thats an odd but fun movie to watch... i thnk that should be cult status...

Night of the Living Dead part 2.... i just love the line "get that damn screwdriver out of my head"

Tron * (good call to who ever mentioned that)
Dazed and Confused.... long but good... "fresh meat!!"
Stoned and Confused... not as long but funny as heck(parody of ^^)
Black Belt Jones... cheesy 70's black kung-fu movie... greatest line i think "who hit me?!?!...... Batman motherF**"

Starship Troopers..... sequal sucked but first was good

HOWARD THE DUCK!!!

I know Full Metal Jacket was mentioned,but did I miss Apocalypse Now?
This one's fairly new ('05), but I think it's destined for cult status:
Mansquito! :rofl:

Did you mean Mike Meyer's "So I Married an Axe Murderer"

I Married A Weird Person was an animated movie by a guy with a last name of Plympton. I think his first name was George. Anyway, it was one of the most bizarre movies I have ever seen. He did a few others but I have no idea about their titles.

What about Walkabout? Do any of the old-school Arnold movies count? Red Sonja? The Running Man?
On that note, Beastmaster!
Did someone mention Natural Born Killers? Reservior Dogs?

maximum overdrive was awesome... wasn't that done to an AC/DC album? How about Mad Max?? (Particularly the first one) ans another obscure 70's movie called "Swarm"

I'm sorry, its , "I Married A Strange Person" by Bill Plympton. Yes Max Rockatanski, the Dark One, from Mad Max.

...Do any of the old-school Arnold movies count? Red Sonja? The Running Man?.....


Conan The Barbarian FTW!

Just wanna toss another one into the pot - Bambi Meets Godzilla. (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3634309875781837645)

Tomas

.....
Didn't see that coming! Whew.

How'd you come across that?

Ran into that in the 1970s at an animation festival at the Harvard Exit Theater up off Broadway in Seattle. Finally got a copy of that when Rhino put it in a VHS tape with a bunch of other really odd little clips and released it. Was pleasantly surprised to find the guy who made it recently put it up on Google video. (I just looked, and there are even DVD releases of it now.) :)

Seeing it for the first time on the 'big screen' in a theater was amazing - we kept calling for them to run it again. :D

Tomas

The Gods Must Be Crazy.

Haven't seen it in years.... maybe I'll go find it again.

anne

ah.. another one...
Real Genius... i believe... val kilmer... prodigy type college burnout.... a new prodigy and some laser tracking thing... and Laslo.. the dude that entered a frito lay contest by write in and won over 40% of the prizes

WIERD SCIENCE

or has anyone mentioned the most cult movies of all time:


MAD MAX
MAD MAX RETURN TO THUNDERDOME!!!!!!


or two of my personal guilty pleasure favorites:

WATERWORLD
THE POSTMAN

Sometimes the strangest things are in my head when I wake up in the middle of the night... Last night it was the movie "Wizards" it is animated and much like "Heavy Metal" which has been mentioned!!

Broken Flowers

The Wizard is an awesome movie!!! Nintendo forever!!!!

Space Pirates... or was it Ice Pirates... crap.. sci-fi movie... pirates stealing looking for ice to bring water to their planets.. some sort of time accelerator scene... where durring a battle they all age like 20-30+ years and a one of the dudes kids is born/raised/ and starts fighting durring the battle.... along with some other interesting desert and torture/capture scenes

I think "The Song Remains the Same" should be listed as well...

^^ haha.... I'm here to kick some a$$ and chew bubble gum... and i'm all out of bubble gum

Sweet guys I thought of an excellent Bad MoFo, "Battle Royale" AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!! :bow:

Batlle Royale is the best!!! Nothing beats a bunch of Japanese kids stuck on an island trying to either have sex with each other or kill each other. Sweet movie!!!

Is "Enter the Dragon" the one where Bruce Lee fights Kareem Abdul-Jabar?

That would be "Game of Death"

cool movie... I liked the part where Kareem kicks Bruce in the chest and knocks him through several walls and leaves a footprint the length of his torso...

Flash Gordon!!... qb saves the universe...lol

Ah! Flash Gordon is worth watching just to watch Princess Aura (Ornella Muti). :D

Hmmmmmm... would my complete boxed set of Futurama DVDs count? :)

That's not a 'cult movie' but might be 'cult TV'...

Tomas

Futurama is the best!
Everybody do the Bender!

:bow: futurama "Welcome to Humble Chamber, or as I like to call, The love-nasium..............champagne?" HAHAHAHA I love Futurama!

Yeah Futurama is where its at. Totally love it. The episode where Bender is floating through space and grows a colony on himself is the best!!!

"Mommy, my arms hurt from hugging so much..."

I like when Bender joins that cult 10010111000000100000100000010100010100000000000000000111111010010000100001010010
0101010011100010010100100010100010101010110001010103 :rofl:

For some reason, as a SuperMod here, I find myself identifying with Morbo at times...
