Best cult movies, continued from this morning radio...

[goclonz80]

Im gonna vote Almost Heros! If I had a dollar for everytime me or any of my friends quoted that movie in the last 10 years I would be a VERY rich man.

 

[Leidang]

Big Trouble in Little China
Mom and Dad save the World
Ed and His Dead Mother

 

[MonsterBack]

Word.

Dark City should have been on my list....Kelly's Heroes as a Cult film? IDK about that.

Yeah, I wouldn't normally classify Kelly's Heroes or The Wild Bunch as "cult" movies, but with the demographic of these boards, they seem like they'd be lesser known and might qualify.

Joe Dirt

Nice, now that's a cult favorite.

Zoolander

 

[Mr Janny]

Anyone listing the Boondock Saints as a favorite should watch Overnight, a great documentary about the guy who made it.

I'm not sure if these qualify as "cult", but here's a few that haven't been mentioned:
Dark City
Dead Man
Kelly's Heroes
The Wild Bunch
The Tao of Steve

+1 on Dark City

I'm a sucker for noir, even though Kiefer's accent is really annoying.

Huge +1 for The Tao of Steve. I made my wife watch this one recently, and she also enjoyed it. Donald Logue is just incredibly funny.

 

[mcblogerson]

The Big Lebowski
Natural Born Killers
Glen Gary Glen Ross
Dirty Work

 

[clones26]

One of my all time favorite movies-Empire Records

 

[hiltonisheaven]

Pool Hall Junkies
Out Cold
Office Space
Swingers
Made

 

[Tarbox]

HOLY DOOGANS ON A SHORT POINTY STICK HOW COULD I FORGET:

The Last Dragon.

 

[IcSyU]

Napolean Dynamite. So stupid it's funny.

 

[BryceC]

Football pads and Chucks, necessary battle gear for the modern day kung fu fighter.

 

[jl112481]

I didn't hear the show this morning, but I would be surprised if they didn't mention Evil Dead or Army of Darkness.

 

[Al_4_State]

Strange Brew (try drinking every time they say "eh")
Big Lebowski
Tao of Steve
FUBAR (if you have seen this movie, you're officially awesome)
Blues Brothers (if you weren't alive at the time it was big)

 

[clones_jer]

Is the Big Lebowski still a "cult" classic if everyone has seen it?

Probably the same thing with Office Space... it didn't do well in the theater, but its wildly popular now.

doesn't "cult" imply a certain section of the population that likes it verses the rest?

 

[Tank]

The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Brotherhood of the Wolf
Equilibrium
Dazed and Confused
Reign of Fire
Slapshot
American Psycho
Clerks
Point Break

I always thought "cult" meant that it flopped upon initial release but gained a level of popularity via word of mouth as time passed. This would implicate both Big Lebowski and Office Space.

 

[06Panther]

The Dark Knight.

 

[GeronimusClone]

Mo-haa-va? Yes it's a tavern.

 

[GeronimusClone]

There's a lot of movies in here that wouldn't classify as "cult" classics.

There's a lot of movies in here that wouldn't classify as "cult" classics.

Would River's Edge qualify?
