Good (and bad) movies come and go, but some films garner such a fierce, loyal following that they reach cult status. People watch them over and over and over again. They host parties to watch them some more. Midnight showings at movie theaters draw incredible crowds, and oftentimes, fans "act out" the scenes in front of the screen.
Actors who happened to have been in cult movies enjoy lifetimes of stardom (to one extent or another) and can probably make a living signing autographs at events and Comic-Con ad nauseam.
Are you a huge fan of any cult classic? Here are some favorites below. Weigh in with the ones you can't get enough of!
Most folks have never even heard of Delicatessen, let alone watched it.
Off topic but I just heard that moron Chuck Schumer say - on the floor of the Senate - that Pres. Trump was “all cattle and no hat” but he didn’t mean it in a good way...
Perhaps he shouldn’t venture into Texan lexicon.
A classic...
But I'm bilingual.
Don't I know it!
