I love that film. It is what made me a Cusack fan. Like so many Brits, Driver does a good Yank accent. Having sis Joan in the film was a big plus.

Their obnoxious politics have dampened my enthusiasm for both.

I have NO idea WHY you posted that to me; however, you have now allowed me to tell YOU and everyone else who has posted their favorite films and paid ABSOLUTELY NO ATTENTION, NONE WHATSOEVER, TO THE SUBJECT OF THIS THREAD, that the definition of a "CULT FILM" does NOT include famous, made lots of money, regular films!

This thread quickly devolved into a painful, silly, off topic mish-mash!

"MR. BLANDINGS BUILDS HIS DREAM HOUSE" is as far removed from being a "cult film", as another poster's throwing in "LAWRENCE OF ARABIA" and most of the other plain old regular films listed as well!

I'll give you an okay re NAPOLEON DYNAMITE as one, never saw EVERYTHING IS ILLUMINAGTED and don't know anything at all about it, so shall pass, but FULL METAL JACKET and A CLOCKWORK ORANGE don't count either.

Please don't think that I'm picking on you; I'm not!

I'm "picking" on EVERYONE on this thread who has less than NO idea what the definition of a CULT FILM is!

There are all kinds of cult films, out there, to pick from an d list; some posters did...most did not!

Just because a film is a fantasy movie or Sci-fi...does NOT make it a "CULT FILM"!

The same is true for re an offbeat/weird movie!

OTOH...just a regular movie, made by Disney: SONG OF THE SOUTH, has now become a cult film, because it is difficult to impossible to get a copy of now and is NEVER ever shown on T.V. or anywhere any more. And a large group of people LOVE that movie and what to get the DVD of it.

FREAKS had a following since it was first shown, 84 years ago, and still does, today; though it IS shown on TCM a lot, and you can buy the DVD.

And "cult films" also go in and out of fashion...HAIR SPRAY, for example. It had a HUGE following, was even made into a Broadway show, but is now in the dust bin of "cult" following.

Story goes that when President Reagan took office one of the first things he wanted to see was the war room. It only existed in the movie.

Back in the 80s when home video hit the big time, not one B-52 crew member was without their own copy of “Dr. Strangelove.”

Has anyone mentioned Porky’s?

Only the shower scene and the later discussion in the principal’s office. One of the funniest scenes ever.

I'm told that "The God's Must Be Crazy" has been accorded 'cult' status.

YES!

Add Chicken Run and Second Hand Lions to that list.

Costarring a young Scarlett Johansson, before she grew into an irritating Hollywood scold. Steve Buscemi. And of course it is heavily influenced by the art of R. Crumb. A “small movie”, which are typically ones that I like.

If you want a real gem get Dinner Rush. Ensemble cast. Takes place in a Tribeca eatery which I’ve heard is owned by the guy who made the movie- supposedly his other career is shooting TV commercials, so he really understands how to get the most out of every shot. Great story line too.

Dang, late to the thread, but here’s a vote for Kelly’s Heroes.

And don’t forget Remo Williams - The Adventure Begins.

I’ve yet to see the sequel. I’m waiting for it to come out on amazon or netflix. I will search and see if I can watch it for free on the internet somewhere.
