[Robert]

1. This is Spinal Tap
10. Shawshank Redemption
18. Hard Boiled
19. Evil Dead 2

Good list.

But nothing, AND I MEAN NOTHING, is as big a cult classic as Rocky Horror. Those people are freaks! There's no way Spinal Tap wins

[angryyoungman]

20, but I won't bother naming them all. I don't think all of these are "cult" movies--I wouldn't include Willy Wonka, Scarface, Blade Runner, Shawshank, Clerks or Friday on this list. These are all pretty popular films, and I'd make arguments for others that are missing as well. Off the top of my head, I'd immeadiately say where's Howard the Duck? :)

[Charlie Goose]

1.This is Spinal Tap - Seen enough to say, "Feh."

3.Freaks - Only interesting to see the real-life freaks

6.The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - The granddaddy of slasher pics.

7.Repo Man - Okay

8.Scarface - Pacino was hysterically bad, but so was everyone else.

9.Blade Runner - Good

10.The Shawshank Redemption - Excellent

11.Five Deadly Venoms - Wow! 11th place! My favorite of the chopsockies.

16.The Warriors - One of my favorite all-time movies

19.Evil Dead 2 - Not great. The first one was worlds better.

24.The Toxic Avenger - Garbage

25.Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory - A classic.

27.Dawn of the Dead - Excellent

28.The Wiz - Yuck

29.Clerks - Bleah

31.Slap Shot - Good movie, but it's been a long time since I've seen it.

32.Re-Animator - Good

36.Showgirls - Crap. Not cult-status crap, just crap crap.

38.They Live - "I have come to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum." :thumbsup:

43.The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Demension - Just okay.

50.Faces of Death, Vol 1 - Used to love this stuff when I was a teenager. Now I can't stomach it. A lot of it was fake anyway.

[RobCA]

I own 8:

The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Pink Flamingos
Pee-Wee's Big Adventure
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Clerks
Heathers
Rushmore
Office Space

I just got this issue of EW in today's mail.
It also has a 3-page article on Office Space. :up:

Rob

[Mondo Kane]

I've seen 34 of 'em.


41.Heaters

Is that supposed to be Heathers? If so, then 35!

Own these Dvds:

This is Spinal Tap
Re-Animator
The Harder They Come
Evil Dead 2
Pee Wee
The Mack
Brazil
Hard Boiled

Got a few on vhs:

Scarface
The Warriors
Eraserhead
Five Deadly Venoms
Dawn of the Dead
Friday
Texas Chainsaw

Still cant believe I havent seen:

Big Lebowski
Aguirre, The Wrath of God (I've seen snippets of it on the Kinski documentary, My best fiend, and it looks amazing)
Faster, Pussycat
Rushmore
Stranger than Paradise (This has been coming on a lot lately on IFC, havent had the time to watch it)

[cultshock]

Too lazy to list them all but I've seen 33 out of 50. Not bad.
I only own 6 of them on DVD though. I'm waiting for the release of Freaks and Faster Pussycat! Kill Kill! and the special editions of Blade Runner and Dawn of the Dead.

Um, Shawshank Redemption is a cult film? Ok, it didn't find its audience until video but in my mind that does not make it a cult film. It really sticks out like a sore thumb on that list.

[Josh-da-man]

I've seen 43 or 44 of them.

I own 21 of them on DVD plus "Decline of the Western Civilization II The Metal Years" on VHS.

[uncle markie]

I have seen 33 of them.

[C Roberts]

I've seen 28 of them.

[LBPound]

I've seen 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 10 (WTF?), 13, 17, 25, 28, 36, 42, 49, and 51

Own Rushmore (CC, of course), Shawshank, Office Space, and one of my favorites, Willy Wonka. Dazed and Confused is good too, but most of the others I've seen I do not care for.

It's definitely a questionable list. Lots of what I'd consider fairly mainstream movies in there. That's EW for you. I've seen 39 of them.

I own 21 of them. It's a pretty nice list, all things considered - while almost anyone who knows anything about movies would consider Rocky Horror and Pink Flamingos to be classic cult films, it takes a real movie geek to consider films like They Live, Buckaroo Banzai, and Big Lebowski. I'm surprised River's Edge or Hedwig didn't make the list. Oh, well, this gave me some more ideas for my "want" list.

[F For Fake]

Some interesting definitions of "cult" in there. Surprised to see 'Spinal Tap' beat "Rocky Horror". I'd expect to see "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" work its way up that list in time.

I have seen 35 of these movies, and I own 17 of them.

[BuckeyeDawg]

Seen almost all of them... own 8 of them, but where the hell is Highlander, The Matrix, or Fight Club???

Movies like "the Wiz" and the "Karen Carpenter Story"???

In my 400 DVD collcetion, I only have these 5. Although I wouldn't quite call The Shawshank Redemption a cult movie.

[Giles]

Also how about

- Heavy Metal
- Fritz the Cat

[BuckeyeDawg]

What do you guys consider cult films? For me, I've consider them a film of immense popularity, with little box-office fan-fare, or maybe even something that went straight to rental. I have to admit, I consider myself pretty well-versed in film, but you guys mention stuff I've never heard of.

Obviously, it's open to interpretation judging by the list that EW provided.

[Johnny Zhivago]

I've seen 35 of em'. Currently own...

This is Spinal Tap
Repo Man
The Shawshank Redemption
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Dawn of the Dead
Re-Animator
The Big Lebowski

And I would agree that this list, like most lists, is questionable at best...

[Red Dog]

Scarface and The Shawshank Redemption are considered cult movies. :whofart:

Everyone on Cribs has Scarface and TNT shows The Shawshank Redemption every weekend.

Where is Swingers? Based on the fact that my 20 closest friends can quote that movie verbatim and not a single one saw it in the theater is reason enough for me...

[jfoobar]

Not one person I noticed from a quick skim of this thread mentions having seen, let alone owning, Walking and Talking. Geofferson mentions seeing it indirectly in that it didn't make his "not seen" list.

Too bad, its a terrific little film.

However, there is no way it is more deserving in being on this list than a number of other far more popular "cult" films (the oft-mentioned Swingers being one of them).

I have seen 28 and own several, including Walking and Talking, on DVD.

5. Swingers Their excuse: It ranked 51
6. UH1 Their excuse: They have seen it (aka, they hate that movie)
7. Vallley of the Dolls Their excuse: how many camp movies can you have on a list
8.Fight Club their excuse: Too many arguments
9. Dead Alive aka Braindead their excuse: re animator and evil dead 2 are more important
10. Better off Dead their excuse: Heathers was better
11. Donnie Darko their excuse: Too new.

[Supreme Sean]

I've seen 20 and only own The Big Lebowski.

I don't see why The Shawshank Redemption is on this list. It may have underperformed at the box office. However, It's a mainstream film which has been successful on video and TV.

[wm lopez]

ANIMAL HOUSE, ENTER THE DRAGON were big blockbuster hits, so they can't be cult movies.

SOMEWHERE IN TIME from 1980 was a huge bomb, got it's following on cable. Even the Spec. Ed. dvd talks about the following this movie has.

What's so hard for getting these Movie Lists right?
AFI is always crap, but EW?

Ive seen about 90% of them and own about 30% of them,great list even though Boogie Nights should be on there,but maybe that was a little to popular and fightclub should be on there also.
