    Toss up between _Rocky Horror Picture Show_ _Pulp Fiction_ and _Princess Bride_

    But prolly _Princess Bride_ as #1, since I can watch it repeatedly for days, the other two not quite that much.

    ETA -- Oh God no...my #1 is _Blade Runner_ "She'll die you know. Then again, we all do." Best LINE ever, IMO.

    I can't believe Better Off Dead isn't getting more love. That movie is great! I want my two dollars!

    I forgot to list The Gods Must Be Crazy. Another great movie.

    I love Better Off Dead. I don't consider it a cult film. I consider it a classic 80s comedy.

    The Gods Must Be Crazy....not a cult film. Just an under-rated gem of a film. No one is going to theaters/conventions dressing like anyone from that film.

    How is nobody mentioning Repo! The Genetic Opera!? I mean seriously. That + Rocky Horror are some legitimate cult films.

    Most of these aren't even close..

    What? Breakfast Club isn't cult? It only made $700 billion.

    I didn't pinpoint that specific one as not being a 'cult classic', so I'm really not sure where you got that from. I said MOST of the many, many films being listed here are not cult classics.

    Apparently I'm blind lol
    I skimmed through the pages because I really expected it to consist of mostly those two movies. Not nearly enough people have seen Repo!

    Points to you for actually seeing it :tongue:

    It was sarcasism. I was actually agreeing with you. But, the definition of cult classic is somewhat subjective.

    A cult film, also commonly referred to as a cult classic, is a film that has acquired a cult following with a specific group of fans. Often, cult movies have failed to achieve fame outside small fanbases; however, there are exceptions that have managed to gain fame among mainstream audiences.

    I think the line is somewhere between Evil Dead and The Princess Bride.

    Oh, I didn't pick up on it because I've never even seen The Breakfast Club to pass judgement on it :laugh:

    I think a 'cult classic' to most people is anything that makes more than 1 movie apparently lol

    Breakfast Club is another one that's an 80s classic. It is NOT a cult film. I don't count Princess Bride either. Both of these are WAY TOO pop culture to be called cult films.
