Agree with you that this thread quickly morphed away from cult films. Some folks just don’t pay attention to the topic of a thread.
Sadly, what could have been an interesting thread, went to hell in a handbasket almost immediately.
Cult Films is an interesting topic ( though the movies in the article itself, somewhat strayed off the beaten path as well ), which really could have made for a much better thread.
For example, nowhere was a mention of ERASERHEAD, PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE, THE WIZARD OF OZ, SINGING IN THE RAIN, IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE, or KING KONG. Yes, all of those and any more really ARE "CULT FILMS", as well as any, many more.
Yes, a few ( a very few ) posters mentioned some actual "CULT FILMS; however, most others just posted their own favorite movies.
