cult films

[freeny]

Top 'cult' film? In both senses of the word, I'd say The Wickerman. 😉

Yes, Wickerman was a good one! CREEPY!

 

[Nanda Devi]

Eraserhead.

I'll second that.

Wild at Heart is another great cult flick... just about anything by Lynch would qualify.

For those who like offbeat, obscure cinema, I'd highly recommend anything by Werner Herzog (most recently directed "The Grizzly Man" documentary), particularly a gem from 1972 called "Aguirre, Wrath of God" and "My Best Fiend" (1999), which is Herzog's documentary about his tumultuous relationship with the late Klaus Kinski (German actor notorious for his ungodly temper). Amazing stuff.

Andy Warhol's "Trash" is near the top of my list.

 

[XNine]

Wow, lots of good titles.

I have so many favorite movies:
Akira (more Pop culture than anything in America, and those who saw the original (before it was re-dubbed/subbed) truely appreciate it).
Fight Club
Battle Royale
Blade Runner
Sid & Nancy (although the whole story is practically BS)
Leon the Professional
Another State of Mind
and SEVEN just to name a few (which some have already been mentioned)

How about La Femme Nikita? Certainly not huge here in the US, though it was remade into a Hollywood piece of ****.

 

[iSaint]

Dogma

or any Kevin Smith production!

Akira (more Pop culture than anything in America, and those who saw the original (before it was re-dubbed/subbed) truely appreciate it).
Battle Royale

If you like those two how about Audition?

 

[ibook30]

SLACKER - Richard Linklater's ambling walk through Austin...

ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW- So fun.

If you like those two how about Audition?

how about anything by takashi miike?

 

[Artful Dodger]

Well...Clockwork Orange 😉

Some may say Friday...but might not 😎

 

[toontra]

Well...Clockwork Orange 😉

For me Clockwork Orange was only cult when it was banned! I had a friend who was sacked for organising a "secret" screening at a London cinema some years back. The distributers took her & the cinema to court!

Then a couple of years later it was back on release!

 

[minimax]

nothing but nazi sexploitation

...so of course Le Lunghe Notti Della Gestapo (a.k.a. The Red Nights of the Gestapo)

 

[rockthecasbah]

Harold and Maude - 1971...IMDB

 

[yellow]

Harold and Maude - 1971...IMDB

Worst. Movie. Evar.

 

[rockthecasbah]

Worst. Movie. Evar.

are you kidding me, that movie was glorious, you obviously don't know a good cult classic when you see one...😉

 

[yellow]

are you kidding me

Definitely not. 91 minutes of Hell.

 

[Moof1904]

Run, Lola, Run (must watch it in German with subtitles. dubbed movies suck)
Romeo is Bleeding (may be too mainstream to be cult)
Frankenhooker

 

[dan-o-mac]

If you like those two how about Audition?

I heard it was a great movie, but haven't had a chance to see it yet.

 

[freeny]

Harold and Maude - 1971...IMDB

yellow is wrong. Harold and Maude was a great film! Especially if your a Cat Stevens, oops! I mean Yousef Islam fan.

 

[XNine]

Definitely not. 91 minutes of Hell.

Agreed. one of my Ex's made me sit through this. All I know is if I had to sit and look at a 6 foot wooden vagina all day I'd be gay. Which is what I would also be if some 400 year old wench tried to seduce me I'd also turn gay.

 

[freeny]

Maybe you guys didnt get it? Harold and Maude was hillarious!! Creepy? yes! but definately funny!

 

[yellow]

I understood it. It just didn't appeal to me in any way, shape or form. Kinda like Seinfeld.

 

[devilot]

Run, Lola, Run (must watch it in German with subtitles. dubbed movies suck)

That was a pretty fun movie.

She ends up in the Bourne movie w/ Matt Damon, right?

 

[yg17]

Office Space

 

[Moof1904]

That was a pretty fun movie.

She ends up in the Bourne movie w/ Matt Damon, right?

Yep.
