8 Awesome Cult Classics
PJ Media ^ | 13 June 2018 | Lauren Spagnoletti

Posted on 06/13/2018 2:37:56 PM PDT by Rummyfan

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.

Cult Classics are films that initially did poorly at the box office, but later found an audience.

My favorites that meet the above criteria:

-The Big Lebowski
-Eraserhead
-Raising Arizona
-12 monkeys
-Brazil
-Sleepaway Camp
-The Wicker Man
-Videodrome
-Fight Club

Big Wednesday. An underappreciated classic. I am not certain even to this day that Jan Michael Vincent was acting.

Ha ha. True.

Tim Curry was bizarrely brilliant in Rocky Horror.
