This thread seems to have shifted from "Cult Films" to "Films I Enjoyed".

There is nothing popular about RepulsionOriginally Posted by ToTaL ITK
Logan’s Run
Blimey she was stunning
Good film
polanski is a very well known and respected director. world famous. repulsion is a well known movie.
Mental
Crash by David Cronenberg
i would say eraserhead as a good example..crash was a big movie
Finally, thank you. These should've been mentioned a lot sooner!
He is . But repulsion is rarely mentioned as Chinatown is .
Or Rosemary's Baby
Repulsion is not a well known movie
Mention The Shining , Apocalypse Now , The Terminator .....
Mention Repulsion , Peeping Tom , Electra Glide In Blue .........People go oh I haven't seen that
I was thinking that.
The majority mentioned are mainstream
Almost anything by Kurosawa.
Seven Samurai - has been mentiioned, much better than Magnificent Seven
Jojimbo - again remade as a western, but much better than Fistful Of Dollars (and Last Man Standing)
Hidden Fortress is the film from which that Lucas pinched the plot for the first Star Wars film.
Ran is my favourite (King Lear transfered to feudal Japan)
There are some examples of cult films released by major studios, some with big budgets.
Films that have 'fans' and events (even film tours) around them - like Rocky Horror Picture Show - and some films that bombed when they came out and got terrible reviews, but were reclaimed later by fans who saw them as works of flawed genius - like Heaven's Gate which will never approach profit but has become a film club 'cult' film in part because it was such a disaster on release.
Bubba Ho-Tep
Elvis as resident in a Texas nursing home, who switched identities with an Elvis impersonator years before his "death", then missed his chance to switch back. Elvis teams up with Jack who thinks that he is actually President John F. Kennedy, even though he is black.
Do you think peeping tom , paths of glory and repulsion are mainstream films ?
Left field
Bully , Hard Candy , Black Rock
Easy Rider not been mentioned? If you didn’t watch that on acid when you were 22 you missed something special
Watched this the other night on sky. Absolutely mental movie!!
I'm not sure if Paths of Glory is. It was a big release and won awards when it came out.
It certainly is a fine film all the same, and it completely went against the usual flag waving glorification of war portrayed in most films at the time.
Maybe other people have different interpretations of cult films. I'd say it was something that goes under the radar on release, but gains a strong following amongst a section of cinema lovers as the years pass.
Oldboy
The Big Blue
Straw Dogs
A New Hope, not a cult film, but started a cult (count me in) lightsabre fights out the back when it was dark, and talking like the characters
"You can't win, Darth. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."
You’re spot on. The opening post in this thread suggests Soldier Blue is a ‘cult film’, which is nonsense. In fact, it was a huge worldwide hit on its release and was third-best at the box office in the UK in 1971.
Bollocks
Who talks about Soldier Blue these days in the same way people like you talk about your favourite films like mamma mia
