definition of a cult film in true technical terms is : a film that has a small following. or a film whose audience last through generations.



Thats it ....nothing more nothing less..


For example while its obvious that toxic avenger is a cult flick most wouldnt consider dark city a cult flick because of the stars and budget however it is because of the small underground style of following. same with any mel brookes films and eve the naked gun movies. as far as that goes casablanca would now be called a cult film as well as citizen kane. Actually about 80% of hollywood flicks could be considered to have a cult following, and if they dont now they may in the future.

dont even get me started on what the term b - movie actually means.

Here's a couple

Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song



The Stunt Man


Martin




A Boy and His Dog



The Ninth Configuration







I See You When You're Sleeping
Ahh, I forgot to mention Brazil, which was noted earlier. I also love Logan's Run. I find any decent dystopian world movie gains 'cult' status.



A NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are we forgetting Night Of The Living Dead, folks?

This film was responsible for the whole undead genre
of horror films, as we know zombies today. Yes we may
have had "Invisible Invaders" and "Creature With The Atom Brain" in the 50's, which were walking dead films of a sort, but Night Of The Living Dead was the one, the quintessential zombie film, in which no mad scientists or aliens were responsible-they were 100% pure walking dead, and flesh eaters to boot. if Romero hadn't made this film, who knows where zombies would be today (probably still in their graves)

We may not have had the Resident Evil games either.

And yes, other votes go towards The Exorcist, Taxi Driver, and a steadily growing favorite, Phil Tucker's Robot Monster, which would be an excellent double bill with Ed Wood Jr's Plan 9 From Outer Space.



It is hard to define cult movies, I used to think that Andy Warhol/paul morrissey films like, Flesh for Frankenstein & Blood for Dracula were cult, but when I went to look at the cult section of my movies, I have things like Taxi Driver, Bagdad Cafe, Assult of the killer Bimbo's, Crimes of Passion and Pulp Fiction.
So I don't Know!

Hmm, 'A Clockwork Orange' is a great choice.
I might slip in 'Night of the Living Dead' if that counts.

What about O Lucky Man ??? any one
I haven't seen O Lucky Man but I did look it up on the IMDB (Internet Movie Database) and it sounded a bit too disjointed and eclectic for my taste. I know I speak from ignorance as I haven't seen the flick for myself, but I still don't see myself watching it in the near future.

I also like IF very interesting movie, as I remember IF and O Lucky Man had the same director and both were written by David Sherwin.
