Cult movies

[OliX]

What do you think is a must see movie or documentary.

Here's some that comes to mind atm.

Lucky People Center International. (Amazing documentary on happiness and humans, definitely a must see!)

Man Bites Dog.

Earth.

[Ajax Knucklebones]

Pink Flamingos...Just because I always wind up dry heaving at the end of the flick.

[OliX]

Just read about it. Sounds excellent. Gotta see it. Other cult movies I just remembered:

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Clockwork Orange

Tommy

[Ajax Knucklebones]

Repo Man
Zombie
Kung Pow!
Freaks
Piles of horror movies....

[Mr Karl]

buckaroo banzai

[OliX]

Taxi Driver

Btw Kung Pow isn't that good. Only funny thing was the girl. weeeueueueeeuueeee

[Ajax Knucklebones]

I thought it was funny. Stupid but funny.

[OliX]

It is a funny movie. It has some good scenes and laughs but is it really a cult move?
A cult comedy for me would be Napoleon Dynamite.

[Ajax Knucklebones]

Heavy Metal
American Pop
Kentucky Fried Movie (although, that's pretty dated)
Groove Tube (Same thing)
The Decline Of Western Civilization: The punk years (early Rollins still in Black Flag)
The Toxic Avenger
Rock N Roll High School
Harold and Maude
Shogun Assassin
Brazil
Suburbia (a young Flea from the Chili Peppers) early 80's flick
Over the Edge

There's some more for ya.

If it isn't yet, it will be. Strange offbeat comedies have a way of becoming cult movies.

[OliX]

Seen only Heavy Metal and The Toxic Avenger. Thanx!

Maybe some others too but I don't remember the names

I wish I could remember the name of a movie where a grbage man grows a third hand on his back. That's a crazy movie

[Mr Karl]

how bout 'altered states
'the ninth configuration(hmmm good but not really cult I guess)
'revenge of the nerds

[OliX]

No... haven't seen any of those

I guess I'll be away for a long time Movie marathon ftw!

Altered States was a good flick!

I looked it up...It's "The Dark Backward". I've heard of it, but I never have seen it. It's good, huh?

[Wickedanima]

The Forbidden Zone
Meet the Feebles
Night on Earth
Kung Fu Hustle (Is it indie enough? It seems a bit high budget to make the list)
A Texas Chainsaw Massacre
They Live
Evil Dead II
Clerks
The Man Who Fell to Earth
UHF
The Royal Tenenbaums (Is that Cult, or does it fall in the purposely Indie Catagory?)
The Witches
Dead Alive
Fargo
Hedwig
Fight Club.

[Ajax Knucklebones]

I was thinking of this one last night and couldn't remember the name and then I found it online...

"Fantastic Planet"...

A weird animated European movie from the 70's.

I haven't seen it in years.

Also...You have to see "Phantasm" if you haven't seen it yet.

[Buster Friendly]

Some great movies on your lists guys.

I'm a kung fu fanatic myself

The all time classic, the movie that launched 1000 fists- The Master Killer, aka The 36 Chambers of Kung Fu/Shaolin. Starring my man Gordon Liu! Oh yeah, I actually like a few of his movies a little bit more, but this one is by far one of the most popular Shaw Brothers productions ever.

Also, Remo Williams:The Adventure Begins. I basically pattern my life after this movie. (And the awesome/awful books it's based on.)

Videodrome probably reflects reality more than any other movie I know, and combined with They Live more or less forms my world view.

Is the Master Killer where the protagonist is basically a monk?

[Bikerpunk]

The only ones that didn't make the list yet are Cannibal Holocaust, Mondo Cane, Mondo Magic, and the Faces of Death series, and the competitors to same that don't fake the deaths.

How To Get Ahead In Advertising

[VoltaireBlue]

cannibal! the musical

[SiouxSinner]

the first movie that came to my mind was "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", I think that's the most "famous" cult movie...which I love to death

[Buster Friendly]

Is the Master Killer where the protagonist is basically a monk?

yes, but this describes about half the kung fu movies made after it

[Head Wreck]

jesus christ vampire hunter and greasers palace were favourates on the B movie nights i held

[Thistle Harlequin]

Female Trouble, Pink Flamingos, and of course Putrid Sex Object ;P

[Ajax Knucklebones]

Well, was it the one that he practices the martial arts by bashing his bald head into hanging homemade punching bags?

[Buster Friendly]

Yes, I believe this was the third or fourth chamber.

The thing I always remember about that scene was that there was a monk with a staff that had a golden hand on the end of it in that one. This monk was the head of that chamber, and if you tried to duck one of the sand bags, had smack you with the gold hand.

good stuff. I loved that movie as a kid.

[Buster Friendly]

Only been able to find it available on Region 2 DVD.

Fuckin' Brilliant movie.

Small Faces- about Glaswegian youth gangs in the 60's.

"Tong Ya Bass".

[athenahollow]

Doom Generation and NoWhere (Or anything by Gregg Araki, for that matter)

[Ajax Knucklebones]

How old are you Buster? Do you remember "Drive-In Theater" on channel 5 on Saturdays? They always played this movie on there. I loved it too.

[Dusk]

My housemate got that shipped in from england. AWESOME.

[Cafe_Post_Mortem]

I can't believe there is no love for Phantom of the Paradise in this thread.

Love, death, deals with the devil, drugs, retro greasers in the 70s, kinky costumes, and Beef!. What more could you ask for?

Haha! That's a cheesey flick. Paul Williams, right? It's got cult written all over it.

[Morning Glory]

good list guys. I'm having trouble coming up with cult movies aka. movies that a lot of people like that are underrated by the critics and the media, as opposed to just movies that I like that no one else does.

how about the Death Wish series?

[Mr Karl]

nearly forgot the Warriors

[Morning Glory]

Dead Man (I haven't seen it, but I've heard a lot of good things.)

Killer Clowns From Outer Space

Waking Life

Natural Born Killers (maybe a bit of a stretch for this list, but I think it counts.)

The Goonies

Red Dawn

[mystoo]

nearly forgot the Warriors

Oh ya, you beat me to it. I just remembered about that one. Awesome flick!
