Hey, they just killed Ernie, you bastards!!!
Yeah, but he's not quite dead yet. Sit back and relax,
this could take a while. His eyes are sure bugging out now,
aren't they? Looks like just a few minutes more...

I thought that one was exempt from lists, Gary.
Above the entire category, or something.
That sausage guy with the knife in his mouth, toward the
end? Very unsettling.

Don Johnson's magnum opus.
New Topeka reminds me of Provo. Serious.

I read this whole thread, and there are some real gems that have knott been mentioned.
(BTW, no offense, but mainstream blockbusters such as Forrest Gump are about as
far removed from cult classics as you can get. That's knott a movie I would care to
see again, and yet I'll watch cult classics again and again - they never get old)

hey there all... say, i dont really watch movies, but i sure do read---seems you got most of them... (i did see the princess bride, though--loved seeing andre the giant doing a screen work, not to be forgotten...
say, in my days (yep, i'm kind of old) "harold and maude" was one... and then, maybe "willard"... (as i see someone just mentioned ernest borgnine)... and maybe, "airport" was one (if that is considered in those catagories)...
not much i can add here...
seems my boys liked "spaceballs" and the take-off of darth vador...
edit---oh, yeah.. and they liked "edward scissor hands".. so it must have been around then...

I'd agree with the Big Lebowski even though it is a bit mainstream. I have had entire conversations that are nothing but Big Lebowski quotes.
If you can find it, check out the Leningrad Cowboys Go America. Its a sort of Finnish version of Spinal Tap, and is hilarious. Their covers of "These were the days" and "Back in the USSR" are first rate.

I used to live 3 doors down from Trent Harris. Interesting guy for sure.
All time #1 has to be Caddyshack, right up there with Fletch, and Army of Darkness.

I'm on board w/ MisterE's selection, mostly;
1. Big Lebowski (crazy have not seen)
2. Repo Man (good but maybe not #2)
3. Blade Runner (heavy breathing)
4. Rocky Horror Picture Show (seen clips, jeepers)
4. Kingpin (have not seen know nothing about)
5. Pulp Fiction (more breathing)
6. Blue Velvet (bent, seriously bent)
7. Office Space (I may have fallen asleep)
8. Nomad (?)
9. Heathers (is this a movie for teen girls?)
10. Evil Dead 2 (where the hell is Easy Rider?)
if U don't have Easy Rider on the list of great cult fliks then
like wtf?
honestly, the above a valid work of modern art...perfect, man...
if this isn't top 10 cult status - hate to say it - nothing is...

Michael Rennie was ill
The Day the Earth Stood Still,
but he told us where we stand.
And Flash Gordon was there
in silver underwear;
Claude Rains was The Invisible Man.
Then something went wrong,
for Fay Wray and King Kong -
they got caught in a celluloid jam.
Then at a deadly pace
It Came From Outer Space.
And this is how the message ran...
Science fiction, double feature.
Doctor X will build a creature.
See androids fighting Brad and Janet.
Anne Francis stars in Forbidden Planet.
Wo oh oh oh oh oh
At the late night, double feature, picture show.
I knew Leo G. Carroll
was over a barrel
when Tarantula took to the hills.
And I really got hot
when I saw Janette Scott
fight a Triffid that spits poison and kills.
Dana Andrews said prunes
gave him the runes,
and passing them used lots of skills.
But When Worlds Collide,
said George Pal to his bride,
"I'm gonna give you some terrible thrills".
Like a...
Science fiction, double feature.
Doctor X will build a creature.
See androids fighting Brad and Janet.
Anne Francis stars in Forbidden Planet.
Wo oh oh oh oh oh
At the late night, double feature, picture show.
I wanna go.
Oh oh oh oh
To the late night, double feature, picture show.
By R.K.O.
Wo oh oh oh
To the late night, double feature, picture show.
In the back row.
Oh oh oh oh

Thanks, Anders, brilliant lyrics.
Makes me think of a conversation Leroy and I had a while back (when some here were aspiring zygotes)that is germaine to the whole 'cult' thing.
We were discussing the movie shock treatment™, a failed sequel to RHPS, it was designed to be a cult movie, didn't fly.
"Richard O'brien has to realize that sometimes you only get to make one big contribution, or at least that you can't contrive to repeat previous success," said the Cilley Sage.
True cult movies are an aggregation of stuff and their time.
