I don't think that's true, It turned a decent profit at the time of release.
I agree, I think it stands up very well now, but it's no cult film.
Just because it was overlooked by some?
See what I did there!
I went to see Shawshank when it came out. It had a mighty run of 3 nights in the UCI Jackland. On general release it sunk without a trace. Since then it's often on people's favourite lists of all time.
Hardly call it a cult film though.
Wild at Heart
The Elephant Man
Raging Bull
Any Tarantino film
I’ll add The Wickerman and Loneliness of a long distance runner to this list.

[QUOTE=SLUDGE FACTORY;5247503]Another terrific film that. I watched Bad News the other day, it's much more silly than Spinal Tap but I still found it very funny after all these years.
I've been called many things but never a nerd. I'll take that though. The Shining is not a cult film all the same
[QUOTE=Harry Lime;5247670]Bad News has some great moments
They pick up the groupies
Dawn French is talking too much
Edmondson says to nigel planer .......tell her to shut up or get out
Planer , as dry as you like to Dawn French ......shut up or get out
Classic
The Blues Brothers.
$115 million before going to video...described as a cult classic. Is there a difference between a cult film and a cult classic?
The Football Scene is incredible.
I tried posting it last night but it wouldn't hyperlink for some reason.

If you a classic football scene in a cult film then Gregory's Girl fits the bill perfectly.
