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!

Phew. Hate that movie. I was friends with the gay guy who instituted all that crap that went on during screenings. I am a fan of Tim Curry, though.

I like 5 of them.

Why is Evil Dead 2 not on this list?
Blasphemy I declare, blasphemy!

The actor from Wizard of Oz 1939 who just died (aged 98) was in The Terror of Tiny Town the previous year. It was an all midget western.

My favorite nineties flick, Grosse Pointe Blank. A great Minnie Driver and a fantastic Dan Aykroyd and a soundtrack that is just ... killer.

“Dr. Strangelove”

Dr. Strangelove was the Soviets’ greatest propaganda victory of the cold war.

A great surfing flick. I highly recommend Riding Giants too.

“Dive Bomber” made in 1940, starring Errol Flynn and Fred McMurray is a cult classic in the navy.
