Your #1 CULT movie

[Hallowed_point]

Well what's yours? I just found mine last night. 1991 "Stone Cold"

To describe it in one word: gratuitous. I'm actually shocked that this movie got released even with an NC-17 rating. Typically the bad guy doesn't win in movies. And the violence/language/nudity is just absurd.

Runner up movies would be "Tango & Cash" or "Cobra"

[killramos]

Office Space

Hands down

[GTS4tw]

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas or Tank Girl

[lil*tymer]

The room, produced, directed, funded, written and starring Tommy wiseau. They have a midnight screening at the plaza every now and then and I guarantee it willbe one of the best movie experience you've had.

I watch this one regularly. It hits pretty much every single aspect of being an amazing movie to watch while drunk with friends. It has to be my ultimate cult favorite.

would not call Office Space a cult movie. Was about as mainstream and popular as you can get.

While not a box office success, the film has sold well on DVD and VHS, and has become recognized as a cult classic

Whats your definition of cult movie? It wasn't overly successful for years after it came out.

Do you only count movies that nobody but you likes?

That's not cult, that's lack of taste :nut: .

[gretz]

Army of darkness

[Tik-Tok]

Office Space is definitely a cult classic, the only thing mainstream about it was that it had Jennifer Aniston at the height of her TV career, that's about it.

The Evil Dead trilogy was my favorite for YEARS, but kind of overwatched them

[Seth1968]

Regarding Troll 2.

I saw this Troll 2 documentary a couple of months ago. It's very entertaining and available on Netflix:

I can't decide between Army of Darkness or Pulp Fiction.

Cube, Cube 2: Hypercube also get honorable mentions.

[legendboy]

Not my all time favorite but I'll throw Gummo in there

Kids too

[BerserkerCatSplat]

I have to go with The Room. It hits that sweet spot of so-bad-it's-good without wrapping back around to sucking like Birdemic did.

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer

The Qatsi Trilogy (Koyaanisqatsi: Life out of balance, Powaqqatsi: Life in transformation, Naqoyqatsi: Life as war)

Donnie Darko

Both great movies, but also ones I didn't watch more than once.

A Scanner Darkly should be in there too.

[KLCC]

Equilibrium or big Lebowski

[Tezzating]

Bad Boy Bubby. I love making people watch it, always gets a resounding "WTF".. him and that cat crack me up.

[Seth1968]

I love Office Space and The Big Lebowski, but I don't see them as cult movies. Like most, a cult movie to me, has to have that "B-Movie" characteristic.

[firebane]

Cult Movie? Cube.

No other movie like it. The sequels weren't near as good as the first but still a good watch

[BrknFngrs]

Yeah right! Warrriooors come out to play!

How about "RAD" the 80's bmx movie filmed in cochrane/bowness? I rented that on VHS as a kid and still think it's a great movie.

[Inzane]

If weirdness is a criteria for a cult classic it doesn't get much weirder than this:

It is chock full of WTF moments.

But in terms of favorites I have to throw a vote out there for this one:

I probably couldn't narrow it down to just one, but out of curiosity I checked to see what some people consider "cult." There's a lot on there I wouldn't classify as such, but I guess that depends on what your definition of it is.

To me a cult film is one of those movies that no matter how bad, b rated, or campy you JUST have to watch regardless.

Its like your sitting there and find out Short Circuit is on tv... You'll watch it.

Love that movie. The fake brown guy has the best lines!

"Captain Harris" (from Police Academy) is pretty damn funny in that movie too.

[R-Audi]

RAD!


I have an original VHS copy along with a eBay DVD copy.. Loved that movie growing up. Wen to the anniversary party they had a few years back in Calgary and it was awesome. Lots of original cast, showed the movie at the globe and got to meet Bill Allen...

You lucky bastard. Me and my brother went out to cochrane to go see RAD on the big screen and it was sold out. At least we got some t-shirts. Best soundtrack/montages ever!

[Hallowed_point]

Armed and Dangerous with John Candy/Eugene Levy is also 80's gold.
Maybe I just find it hilarious as it reminds me of my renta-cop days

[Pacman]

The Kentucky Fried Movie.

The producers then went on to produce other good cult films such as Airplane, Top Secret and the Naked Gun

Saw that a tonne as a kid in the early 80s. It's amazing the little nuggets in there. Saw bits & pieces recently. Who knew they were making fun of scientology even back then. :rofl:

I've seen it about 5 times.

Two amazing comedy actors born from the legendary and brilliant SCTV.

A +1 for Out Cold...

"dick stuck in the hot tub" > became an id.... nevermind

[403Gemini]

Tremors and cube

Tremors because it's the only b-style monster movie that takes itself seriously and still has a lot of fun (there is no comparison and we get junk today like sharknado which just doesn't hit the same campy enjoyment tremors delivered )

Cube was amazing because it was somewhat ahead of its time . Yeah the acting was bland and off putting but the cleverness and intricacies of the traps came years before the Saw franchise

We'd have one of 3 movies that would get thrown on at the end of a party to pass out to...Army of Darkness, Space Balls, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Found this movie pretty different and amazing. Portugese with English subtitles. Great movie.

When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail.

Could probably name another couple dozen that are considered "Cult" films but I'll leave it brief for now. :D

[FixedGear]

Lots of great ones already listed, I can add Cabin Boy

[davidI]

Boondock Saints.

[jhmed]

Dazed and Confused. I saw it in the theatre 18 times (including the cheap theatre). Only place in the lower mainland it was playing was on Granville. Had to Skytrain it in from the 'burbs each time. Couldn't get enough.

Edit: Honorable mentions to the Ice Pirates and Megaforce.

[e31]

I give Rage points for retaining the car theme, but Vanishing Point is hippie crap compared to the original Gone in 60 Seconds.
