I hate every movie posted so far.

Well, I actually haven't seen The Princess Bride and I absolutely adored Holy Grail about fifteen years ago, but both movies are unwatchable now having to have endured over ten years of disgusting slobs quoting them to or around me incessantly like I'm supposed to join in and dance like a seal with them. Thank Christ this behavior is limited to campy movies that I can dismiss (even if I liked them originally). If I had to endure this with movies like The Godfather, Goodfellas or Heat, I'd become violent.

Donnie Darko was a really bad fanfic somebody unfortunately had enough money to put on film.

Ugh, sorry for the rant, sore subject for me (mostly based on the ruining of Holy Grail for me).

I adore many flicks considered to be cult films, but it's such a difficult definition to pin down, isn't it?  Amphigory-y and self-reflexive.  I mean the entire bodies of work of David Lynch, Walter Hill, Alejandro Jodorowsky or even Tony Scott are given cult cred.  Can everything you've done, over a lifetime of wide-release be "cult", then?

Disney's Sky High apparently warrants.

Dawn of the Dead's a goody nobody's namechecked in the thread, yet.  And, Cat People and its sequel.  Six String Samurai.  Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte.  The adaptation of Kafka's The Trial Welles' did with Tony Perkins at his sexiest.

Indeed it does, I love that movie.

I also like The Color Purple, which lines from that movie if repeated, can make people laugh despite the fact that it is supposed to be serious.

I know exactly what you mean. I still remember the guy who went on Oprah and recited Sophia's entire "You told Harpo to beat me" speech.

Everyone has pretty much named every movie that popped in my head. (OMG! Someone's seen Beyond the Valley of the Dolls besides me!)

There's also Death Race 2000. It's hard not to love a movie involving Sylvester Stallone, David Carradine, and a cross country race where people get run over for points.

But I'm a Cheerleader-- RuPaul out of drag, and Natasha Lyonne. What more do you need?

Party Monster-- Seth Green and Macaulay Culkin as THE Club Kids.(One of them was James St. James, but I forget.)

Too Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar-- Patrick Swayze was an awesome woman.

I'm wondering if the original Stargate movie counts.

Kurt Russell's O'Neill > Macguyver O'Neil.  In before rage.

I'll second Office Space, as well.

Blade Runner for sure.  I cyberpunk.

Can't think of much offhand, so I suppose I should get back to you guys.

And I actually really liked Donnie Darko.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch
eXistenZ
Shaolin Soccer
Reform School Girls (because Wendy O Williams ROCKS)
Falling Down

How could I forget Hedwig and Too Wong Foo... and Party Monster

Raven I recently saw it on Turner's Classic Movies and I had to watch it because everyone kept telling me "Oh you'll really like this movie--it's your thing." And I did So yay I'm glad that someone else loves it too!

HOLY SHIT THAT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES EVER.

Also, some critics say that Repo! The Genetic Opera is on the path to become a cult classic, and I quite agree. (I just adored that movie to pieces. I have the DVD now, too.)

Yes, Anthiena, The Craft definitely counts. Neve Campbell and Fairuza Balk and the creepy scene with all the sea creatures. Great 90s angst.

Now that I've finally seen it I cant get enough of Oldboy. What a tweest!

Moulin Rouge (does that count???)

I thought it did... :shrug:

Manos: The Hands of Fate. It's the best movie to make fun of ever. And god, is it horrible. Thus making it the true cult experience.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Words cannot express just how much I love this movie.

Eraserhead. It's basically my version of mental porn.

The Craft. Good naughty twisted fun, and Fairuza Balk makes me overflow with joy. If I were a photographer, I'd capture every angle of her face with such fervent devotion. She's so intriguing.

Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter. Because Jesus and hot lesbian vampires are an awesome combination.

Dogma. Because God and Kevin Smith is an awesome combination.
