Favorite "Cult" or indie movie

[erickkoch]

Two of mine are favorite ones are The Nines and Hard Candy. Great movies.

I was squirming in my seat way to much to watch Hard Candy ever again!

Smoke Signals

Boondock Saints...nuff' said.

 

[Silencio]

Repo Man!

And I'm pleasantly surprised by all the props for UHF. Stanley Spodowski was pretty much proto-Kramer.

My two favourite films of all time would probably be classed as cult films:

Wong Kar Wai's In The Mood For Love and 2046; and

Giuseppe Tornatore's Nuovo cinema paradiso.

Both beautiful films (although the latter has its premise utterly ruined in its longer version, the original cut is the only version to watch).

The other cult film which springs to mind as one which I adore is Bonnie and Clyde the precursor to a lot of the modern ultra-violent movies of Tarantino etc.

^2046 is a beautiful film (with a even more beautiful soundtrack), but is it really a cult film???

My all-time favs are A Clockwork Orange and Bladerunner, but I think these films are such landmarks in filmmaking that would they still be considered cult films?

Love films about teens-- whether they be larger-than-life parodies, or serious commentaries:

Dazed And Confused
Sixteen Candles
The Breakfast Club
Kids
Elephant
Clueless

 

[Mammoth]

So far:

Falling Down
City of God
Requiem for a Dream
Gremlins
Gremlins 2
Hackers
With Honors

Probably some more I've forgotten about..

I think Blade Runner is too main stream to be a cult film.. A Clockwork Orange I'd say fits, but Blade Runner had Ridley Scott and Harrison Ford and had a profound influence on the way movies view the future. I love the music.
