what is your favorite cult 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.

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.

Velvet Goldmine
Trainspotting
the goonies
galaxy quest
the doors

I cant believe nobody has mentioned Pink Floyd's The Wall...... a true cult classic !!

i would have to say UHF, SLC punk, Donnie darko, Army of darkness, and Cannibal! the musical, i'm sure there are a whole lot more but those are the ones i can think of off the top of my head

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.

Harold and Maude.

Now there ya go! Yes, that's one of my favorites! Love Pink Floyd. I even made my kids watch it. My son loved it. My daughter was like: "meh."

Basketball Diaries
Romper Stomper

Were a couple more Hubs reminded me of...we have so many faves, most of which have already been mentioned but I didn't see these two..
