For me, it has to be Super Troopers. I could watch this movie everyday and still laugh each time
Favorite Cult Classic Movie?

Ooh this is going to be good. But what qualifies as a cult classic?
This is one of mine for sure...

Cult classic is always hard for me to define, but I'll go with Office Space.
So there will be movies from all over in this thread, some the people like and some people don't.
You like Napoleon Dynamite and you can have that opinion, but it's one of the few movies I hate with the heat of 1000 suns.
I think that's part of what makes it a cult classic. A very passionate following by those who love it, and another side that hates it. My wife is on the same side as you, she won't watch it with me again, ever.
Heathers, Halloween, Monty Python & the Holy Grail, Labyrinth, early Burton films - those are just top of mind, but there are a lot.
A Clockwork Orange!

Blade Runner comes to mind.
I like sci fi.

Does The Big Lebowski count?
If not that then probably Oh Brother Where Art Thou. You could pick any Coen Bros movie honestly.

Starring Marion, Iowa's own Ron Livingston...
just some randomness off top of my head...
Mallrats
Beyond the Valley of the Dolls
Dune (the 80s version)
Idiocracy
Spaceballs
Bottle Rocket
Mad Max movies, at least the first two are definitely more cult classic than blockbuster
Planet of the Apes (the original movies that get more campy as they go)
Scott Pilgram
Oldboy (Korean version)
I'm a fanatic about all Kubrick and Lynch movies and some would say many of those are cult classics but to me they are generally too critically acclaimed to be considered "cult classics", if not when they were new they were eventually when people wised up. Same thing how I can't include stuff like Indiana Jones or Star Wars because they're more just "classics". Even something like "The Goonies", if every single kid I grew up with loved something is it really "cult"?
