Favourite Cult Movie(s) ... ?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I think you maybe read that she was harried by a seagull. It's no wonder with hair like that.

Penelope Spheeris' Suburbia! Image

one of those films I've seen over & over & over again in my teens, just like other flics already mentioned in this thread: Weird Science, River's Edge, Smoke + Blue in the Face, C'est arrivé près de chez vous (aka man bites dog), The Hunger, etc 8) :notworthy:

Other fine (cult) movies that deserve my respect are The Big Lebowski (they don't come cultier that The Dude!), Legend of 1900, High Fidelity, Arizona Dream, The Brown Bunny, Les Idiots, Black Cat White Cat, and many many more of course :wink:

The Draughtman's Contract - thank you Blasty, I have been looking for that on DVD for 100 years, love it
Also..
Gothic - Ken Russell as his daft bugger best
Picnic at hanging rock - and it's just down the road so that is handy.
Yellowbeard - for cheap chuckles .....Mr Prostitute. heehee. :lol:
The Cook, the thief, his wife & her lover - no matter what anyone says I love it.

And if I can add a TV show, The Wolvis Family coz I remember it from my yoof and it made me giggle a lot (there is a goff in it)

[quote="SINsister"]Just a few favorites, off the top of my head (I'll be back to add more, as I think of 'em, of course ;)):

Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster (Gojira tai Hedorâ) - dunno if this really counts as a "cult" film, but it's my fave Godzilla movie ever! :lol:


I think I have one I prefer to that :wink:

As I've just read through the 5 pages of this thread I was wondering when Suburbia was gonna show up. It was the first cult movie I could think of, mainly cos I only saw it for the first time last month. Great film. The TSOL clip is great - they also appear in the American Hardcore movie that I just bought at the weekend but haven't seen in full yet. Does that count as cult viewing or is it a documentary? What I have seen so far makes me think its gonna be one of those movies that I end up watching over and over again

Yeah, I did mention Withnail, but hey, I want to see your thoughts too ...

Hmmm, maybe it ain't 'cult', but we are being loose about our definition here I trust?! ... Sure, for seasoned 'veterans' like us (?!) it is probably passe (sorry this thingy won't let me put the 'accent' on the E there - like I should ...)
I still enjoy it though, especially the Commentary available on the DVD - this alone is worth several replays ...

Bruce Dickinson (Director) lives near me apparently, in the Welsh Marches!?! ... (Hi Brucie!) and for a 'first attempt' (was it not?) this 'fil-um' has to rate as a 'masterpiece'? - Go on, ye of little faith do something better, I challenge you?! ... There are so many sub-texts and sub-plots to explore, we could clog up Heartland for years on just this alone ...

Flying off at a totally different tangent, just because it 'popped into my consciousness', I suppose! ... Has anyone heard of a biopic about the late great Gram Parsons??? - Have I missed something here/there, or is this a future idea for the likes of Johnny Depp or Nicholas Cage to 'butcher' (like Fear and Loathing for example! ...) - in a 'parallel universe', you understand? - Whatever that all means ... ?! :? :wink: :lol:
They (The Establishment) use sex as an addiction for control, just as they use alcohol and drugs ...
- A programme of systematic frustration in order to sell this crock of s**t as immortality, a garden of delights and love. ...

Are you thinking of Grand Theft Parsons, which stars Johnny Knoxville and is the family friendly version of the theft of Gram's body so that a promise to burn his corpse at the Joshua Tree could be kept. I enjoyed it for what it was, but could imagine it would offend the purists in the liberties it takes with the storyline.[/quote]

Nice on Mothra! - I was totally ignorant/oblivious of this and will try to check it out - Thanks! It may be tricky to find in Blighty, but we'll see ...

Pity that no-one has done a more expansive biopic then because he was undoubtedly a talented geezer ... Too bad that an excess of chemicals brought him down. Was he a victim of his own $$$ like so many other 'Trustafarians' ??? Perhaps Emmylou knows more than she wishes to share with us? Keith Richards and others too, eh?

More details please if you know and wish to share them?

No worries :)
I saw it in the cinema and a friend rented it from Blockbuster, so don't think you should have trouble finding it - HMV have it on their website for £7.99 right now actually:
(http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayProd ... sku=708915).
I think they fictionalised it quite a bit to make it funnier in parts, but its not a comedy film as such. I also have vague memories of a BBC production called Fallen Angel that I must have watched (cos thats why I know they didn't stick to the exact truth for the film), but I've no idea if thats widely available. I really enjoyed the movie anyway, & the soundtrack was pretty good as well from what I recall, but I'm pretty easily entertained and not really into GP, so any liberties taken with the story wouldn't have bothered me.
