Hmmmm....

Shogun Assassin

Ilsa She Wolf of the SS

Dawn of the Dead

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Forbidden Zone

There are so many, so I tried to pick faves of mine from different genres. But I like many obscure films, I don't know if anyone knows Forbidden Zone. Replace that with The Toxic Avenger, if you don't. If you don't know Ilsa, replace that with Reform School Girls.

The Evil Dead

Little Shop of Horrors

Night of The Living Dead

Rocky

Halloween

Didn't intend on so many being horror, however, that genre screams cult!

A good list would be top 5(or 3) cult classics of each genre:

Kung Fu

Karate

Yakuza

Pinky

Samurai

Comedy

Western(subcat Euro)

Horror(subcat Euro)

Giallo

American Martial Arts

Exploitation(cannibal, nazisploitation, nuns)

Police Crime Action(subcat Euro)

maybe more.

Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia

Liquid Sky

El Topo

Female Convict 701: Scorpion

Man Bites Dog

Aren't really popular blockbusters the exact opposite of a cult film? Maybe I have the definition of Cult movie wrong.

Hmmm....

Suspiria for sure made an impression.

Peter Jackson's Brain Dead- the best horror-comedy of all time!

Slackers- a personal favorite although it has definite flaws.

Animalympics- not really a cult movie at the time but now might as well be.

Primer recently blew my mind.

Yeah, five doesn't really cut it but it does prevent long dissertations.

You have it right! Which is why half of the choices in this thread are wrong!

I don’t think The Stepfather has been mentioned. I’m so glad they remade this movie. I haven’t seen the remake, but when they announced there was going to be a remake, a remastered special edition DVD of the original Stepfather came out! :smile::smile::smile:

Other cult favorites (A couple of these I don’t know if they were big hits when they were released, I’m just assuming they weren’t…) -

Cujo

Following

Better Off Dead

Mystery Science Theater 3000 The Movie

Corndog Man

Go

Three O'clock High

Hoop Dreams

Good call on three o'clock high, I've seen that so many times in my youth. I also love the Criterion release of Hoop Dreams :). It's one of my favorite docs of all time. Also: "that's a real shame when folks be throwin' away a perfectly good white boy like that."

Quick note above: a cult film can be mainstream if it acquires hardcore followers (like the original Star Wars). I think the Wiki definition is pretty dead-on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_film

My five would be:

Evil Dead II: I'm a Bruce Campbell fan and I liked this more than the first entry though I've seen Army of Darkness more times.

Three O'clock High: "Pain is temporary, film is forever."

Braindead: Never looked at lawnmowers the same.

Crumb: Makes you feel better about your family. Along with Hoop Dreams one of my favorite docs.

Murder by Death: Had to pick at least one film with Peter Sellers (would The Party be considered more cultish?; The Pink Panther Strikes Again is one of my favorite films of all time as well).
