Moulin Rouge (does that count???)

I thought it did... :shrug:

Oh good. Yes I see it on your list now. I think my favorite song has to be the Madonna one.

Ah yes, that is a good one.  I'm partial to Spectacular Spectacular and Tango de Roxanne myself.   Though the whole thing is great, of course!

And God being played by Alanis Morissette is even better.  Dogma is one of my favorite films.  I don't really see Princess Bride or A Christmas Story as particularly cult film-like.  While A Christmas Story can be pretty divisive (I know just as many people who loathe it as who love it), it's pretty much in the popular culture, and The Princess Bride seems to be as well (although  maybe not so prevalent nor nearly so divisive.)

I tend to watch lesser known films from time to time, but I don't think many of them really fall in to "cult."  Perhaps I just don't fully understand what it means to be a cult film.  I'm sure plenty of my favorites might fall along those lines, especially given how many have been listed that I've seen and loved.

Clerks would count, yes?

Oh, how could I forget Boondock Saints?

I was just about to ask this.

I wanna get out of Chicago quicker just to pop that in the VCR!  So delicious (and so mean)!

And, Mylene, I think "fuck" may be the only word in Boondock Saints that isn't "rope" or part of a prayer.

The Blues Brothers.

I also Muppet Treasure Island, but I'm not sure if it would be considered a cult film. I think I've just irritated everyone around me out of enjoying it. Oh well! Sailing for adventure on the big blue wet thing...

Although "rope" is usually found with the word preceding it, as in: "fucking rope."

Does Beetlejuice count? God, I love that movie.

Weirdly, I think all Tim Burton movies count.

And notice everyone how I am carefully avoiding the Boondocks' allusion of "the diversity of the word."

Has anybody here seen Repo! The Genetic Opera?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0963194/

It's a rock opera done in the same vein as Rocky Horror Picture Show. The songs are really fun, and the concept is as well. Just pretend Paris Hilton isn't in it, and you'll find something to appreciate about this quirky film.

OMG I'm glad you started this thread.

I love Cult films. If it's trashy, I'll probably watch it. But some of my favorites are:

Rocky Horror Picture Show *and* Shock Treatment

I started going so much that I eventually joined the cast. Another shameless promotion plug: Come see us if you're in the Southern Cali area. I play "Trixie" and would love to see some fellow IRGers at our shows.

My favorite call out line, I have to keep it generally safe "The road was long but I ran it (BACKWARDS!) ...and I love Brad. I know lame right, but he's my favorite character.


Any John waters film. But my favorite is Serial Mom and Hairspray.

Blue Velvet
("Candy Colored Sandman.")

Showgirls
"I'm not a whore! I'm a dancer!"

Office Space

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls

Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

Clueless

Clue

American Psycho 

Welcome to the Dollhouse

Vanishing Point

Crash (with James Spader)

...so many that I probably forgot but those are on my definitive list.

dude those are all awsome movies...

Sally Potter's excellent adaptation of Orlando with the very sexy Tilda Swinton and Billy Zane.

And two Dylan flicks: Masked & Anonymous that he co-wrote with Larry David, and Eat the Document which is just marvelously energetic and witty.

And, now I go to hang my head in shame for not mentioning a single movie involving Ash and something evil in the woods.

D'oh, shouldn't have missed that.
