those are just old movies. no big lewbowski casablanca thinman early james bond -- nm - zdroid Jun 2, 13:22 5
- Casablanca is one of the most respected movies of all time. When it's taught in film classes, it's not a cult classic. -- nm - mara Jun 2, 13:24 4
  - But generally movies that make hundreds of millions of dollars aren't "cult" classics either. They're just popular movies. - pmb Jun 2, 13:27 3
    - I think The Matrix would also be an example. Jurassic Park certainly isn;t. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 2, 13:28 2
      - Instead of showing The Matrix, the cult classic would be Hackers. -- nm - Qale Jun 2, 13:32 1
        
        agreed. -- nm - Remlik Jun 2, 13:35
help me convince Diva to go see Human Centipede at midnight at Coolidge Corner. - Mel Profit Jun 2, 13:20 17
- No, I cannot in good conscience do that to Diva. - Stephen Jun 2, 13:39 1
  - I have to go see dippy teenagers pretend to be ancient vampires...its more than a fair trade. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 2, 13:40
- she totally owes you. it's not like you've never bitten the bullet on a movie before. -- nm - TFox Jun 2, 13:24 10
  - I might have go see another one of those Teen vampire movies though... -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 2, 13:27 8
    - fuck that. compromise and see Splice. -- nm - TFox Jun 2, 13:27 7
      - I kinda gotta go see HC. - Mel Profit Jun 2, 13:30 6
        
        But... that was off screen. -- nm - Qale Jun 2, 13:34 1
        
        this is my point. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 2, 13:43
        
        I don't even think I want to see HC, and I tend to like that kind of stuff. -- nm - TFox Jun 2, 13:31 3
        
        I hate the whole torture porn sub-genre, and admittedly this sounds like it might be it, but I sort of just gotta see this. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 2, 13:41 2
        
        I can't blame you. (spoils) - TFox Jun 2, 13:43 1
        
        that's exactly what I'm thinking... - Mel Profit Jun 2, 13:44
  - plus, 4 stars in the Village Voice! -- nm - TFox Jun 2, 13:26
- GO, Diva, GO! I will be so jealous! -- nm - Dano Jun 2, 13:23 2
  - didn't you see it?? -- nm - Diva Jun 2, 13:23 1
    - I haven't yet. Though I want to. -- nm - Dano Jun 2, 13:30
- what movie did you first pop your barf-cherry at? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 2, 13:22
It's missing Rock and Roll High School. - pmb Jun 2, 13:15
Shouldn't a movie be at least a year old to be a cult classic? -- nm - Dano Jun 2, 13:15 4
- Scott Pilgram vs The Universe isn't even out and it's already a cult classic. -- nm - Qale Jun 2, 13:16 3
  - Scott Pilgram vs The Universe isn't even out and it looks like the worst movie ever made - MDH Jun 2, 13:31 2
    - Is there a wrongness contest going on? (nm) - musubi Jun 2, 13:34 1
      - his mind is still reeling from Gyllenhaal's shirtlessness. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 2, 13:42
I miss Cinemaworld. -- nm - kelly Jun 2, 13:14
4 of those aren't cult classics. -- nm - Qale Jun 2, 13:12
good list. thank god no Rocky horror. that movie sucks. and has always sucked. -- nm - Remlik Jun 2, 13:10 19
- fail - Danedukenuuk Jun 2, 13:13 5
  - huh. - Remlik Jun 2, 13:16 4
    - Rocky horror. that movie sucks. and has always sucked. - Danedukenuuk Jun 2, 13:20 3
      - if you have a great crowd it can be fun, but I've been to it with less than good crowds. -- nm - Remlik Jun 2, 13:29
      - Wrong. The best thing about Rocky Horror is the devoted live cast. -- nm - Qale Jun 2, 13:23 1
        
        the few times it was showed here was a thrill at saturday midnight -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 2, 13:26
- but really - Ghostbusters? Jurassic Park? The Matrix? - Reagen Jun 2, 13:12 7
  - look how long ago those came out and the college kids now going to 'cult' movie night. -- nm - Remlik Jun 2, 13:15 5
    - age has nothing to do with it. You might as well call Casablanca a cult film. -- nm - Reagen Jun 2, 13:17 4
      - we should create a new category for them. "popcult". :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 2, 13:18 1
        
        or "incredibly fucking popular movies" -- nm - Reagen Jun 2, 13:23
      - not as much as you might call it "classic" -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 2, 13:18
      - It's a very large cult. -- nm - pmb Jun 2, 13:18
  - Avatar! -- nm - prayformojo Jun 2, 13:13
- After seeing it around 60 times, something bizzare happens. You start to like it. -- nm - Qale Jun 2, 13:12 4
  - *ding* - Nightcrawler Jun 2, 13:15
  - that's called Stockholm Syndrome. -- nm - Reagen Jun 2, 13:13 1
    - I haven't been in a few months, but it was heartening to see it was still vibrant with a new class of young outcasts. -- nm - Qale Jun 2, 13:14
  - I call this "post-cult". It's kind of sad, really. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 2, 13:12
no Rocky Horror and no Kill Bill = Epic fail list -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 2, 13:07 5
- You know, not every failure is epic. -- nm - mara Jun 2, 13:09 4
  - Some are cult failures. -- nm - Fuzzy Jun 2, 13:13
  - i do - Danedukenuuk Jun 2, 13:12
  - epic point, mara. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 2, 13:10 1
    - heh -- nm - TFox Jun 2, 13:10
