Cult movies - what is your favorite - what is your favorite part

[Ken L]

Trying to figure if that was about the post directly above or the general subject -

We really have produced the bulk of the classics in the US - but I lean somewhat toward's fdegrove thoughts in terms of todays films -

I frequently will ask my wife " is there something new that is British on tonight".

To us, the one of the major benefits of the getting the full package of everything the cable company offers has been the british and other European movies.

Speaking of "Cult movies" in general - anybody that likes off the wall movies needs to check out "being John Malkovich" it is a hoot.

Mainly, because of the one's that I have seen, I'm in just about total agreement.

And " O Brother, Where Art thou, is not only a good movie, the CD is well engineered and one of my favorites.

Nelson,

I would expect a more significant explanation from an erudite person as yourself??
What exactly did you mean by that gut reaction?


Ken,

The world is just too young for us.

Catch you,

Memento must the film that moved me the most. Must one of the best budget productions ever. It is so beautifully simple yet wonder fully complex and is one of the few films that have really caught my attention. Bill F. -> Requiem for a Dream should be shown at schools for drug awareness. Very cool film as well. Lola rennt (run Lola run) is tha bomb.

70's spy-thriller thingies. Gene Hackman are way cool!

Neighbours - Dan Aykroyd & John Belushi gets a vote from me - funny as hell.

A classic but I can't decide if the best part is arguing philosophy with the thermo-stellar bomb that is set to detonate attached to the ship, or the the dead captain of the ship in cryo-suspension complaining that no one ever comes to talk to him unless there is a problem.

My favorite part was Pinback's log wherein he reveals: "Well actuially I'm not really Sgt. Pinback. My real name is Bill Froog..." and goes on to tell the story.

For quite awhile I used "Pinback" for my email
account. I got sick of explaining "No it isn't a reference to Clive Barker."
and
"No, I don't collect pin-backed buttons, but thanks for asking."

So I changed it.

I still enjoy Caddyshack and Slapshot. I'm not sure if
those qualify as cult films or if they have a big
enough following to qualify for World Religion status.

Does anyone recall "Midnight Express"?
