Favourite Cult Movies

no no, a cult movie is a movie that doesnt have a lot of success when released in the theaters, but through a dedicated fan base it achieves quasi-success

Hmm...so the term cult, means fan base? In a sense. It must be impossible to actually distinguish a cult film.

If I had to put it simple to every one, cult would mean a film which is good and not accepted by the every day bland minded human :p

Matrix and Fight Club are not cult films!
 
Oh just an added note, You really should watch Casshern, it hasn't got the best storyline in the world. But think about it this way, it was:

Directer
Writer
Cinematographer
Editor

Infact, I can't think of anything the director didn't do. THIS! is the Kazuaki Kiriya's film which I respect a lot since he did everything him self. Unlike some directors who get main credit for other peoples work in development.

Oh and another thing, this was his first film :D
 
Withnail & I

Funniest movie ever :)

Cool moive :) ........ not really a 'cult' classic though ;)
 
Hmmm... I'd say so.... at least over here it's rather unknown (b/c of the second highest rating possible, which prohibits the adversiting of the film, after that there's just complete ban), which makes it more exclusive. You ask someone at the age of ~18 if they've seen it they'll reply "Huh, what?! Heard of it.. that's all"

Good to me... :)
 
yes but that movie came out 21 years ago ..Scarface is one of the defining movies of my generation. It was extremely successful in north america when it hit the theaters

joo know wat I mean, mang?
 
yes i agree with you cptstern, blade runner is a good one

(everytim i see your post i keep thinking that if i saw you in real life you would look like the dude on your avatar, i wonder how you really look like, not being gay but jst curious)

btw what is defintion of cult movie and film noir movie i have been trying to figure it out for years

Pulp Fiction isn't a cult movie, is it? It was a huge success on release.
