8 Awesome Cult Classics

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!

Big Night - Stanley Tucci. Classic.

Adore it so much. Every time I have a few moments when I pass a thrift store I look for it, since it costs up to $50 on Amazon.

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

When I hear THE WARRIORS I think of the Errol Flynn movie.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Kelly's Heros—one of the all time great comedies and war movies and caper movies! What a cast (I cheated, had to refresh my memory :), Don Rickles, Clint Eastwood, Donald Sutherland, Telly Savalas, Carroll O'Connor, Harry Dean Stanton, Gavin McLeod. Wow. Great memories.
 

[Henchster]

Wow! What a screen name for this thread!

"You eat a lot of acid, Miller, back in the hippie days?"

[RegulatorCountry]

Barbarella
Brazil
A Clockwork Orange
Night Of The Living Dead, the original zombie movie from 1968, shot in fairly grainy black and white, directed by Caesar Romero. Actually an art flick and a horror flick all rolled into one.

[COBOL2Java]

A favorite of mine

Shaun of the Dead

[mowowie]

Death Proof is a weird movie, after watching it for the 10th time i still can’t decide weather it sucks or is awesome.
lol
Best parts Stuntman Mike, the car scenes and Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

[SkyDancer]

Yeah, have that DVD. I like the background music.

Begbie (Robert Carlyle) was a great character for it. Every film needs an alcoholic,drug free a$$hole. Kelly Macdonald I thought could have had more screen time as well. She was in an independent entitled “Two Family House” that was surprisingly really good.

Night of the Hunter
A High Wind in Jamaica
Walkabout.....
