Cult Films

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

I was thinking that.
The majority mentioned are mainstream

The Shining , mainstream film

Only decades later did it get the recognition

[Wash DC Blue]

Le Haine

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.

Thats why its a cult film , nerds like you know things like that about it and nerds like me know lines from spinal tap 😉

[The Bloop]

Wild at Heart
The Elephant Man
Raging Bull
Any Tarantino film

[Des Parrot]

I’ll add The Wickerman and Loneliness of a long distance runner to this list.

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

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 clips from Monsters of Rock were fantastic. Tommy Vance, bless him, I'd forgotten all about him.
Can't really blame the crowd for not being too friendly. That said if you can't laugh at yourself .....

Lost count of the number of times I've either read the book or seen the film. The football match in the film is both funny and heartbreaking. Hadn't seen you mentioned Oldboy earlier. I could only watch it once but it's brilliant.

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.
