It makes it easier for my Thai partner to understand the dialogue, and for me as well as my hearing isn't what it used to be. I'm happy to have subtitles on a movie but as often as not I find them more humorous that informative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, The Castle, Aussie offbeat humour/irony which many may not pick up. A cult one, or near enough...……...Event Horizon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurtf Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 For me the best cult movie of all time is: Casablanca. So many quotable lines have become part of the American lexicon. “Here’s looking at you kid”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJPom Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Harold and Maude, great music. Fargo, the remake with Billy Bob Thornton, never seen evil better portrayed. Edge of darkness with Bob Peck, far better with Colonel Jedburgh than the bloody remake with Mel Gibson. Emmmmaaaa. watch remake to see why I use the term bloody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GroveHillWanderer Posted November 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2018 A lot of those listed here are not cult movies. As was alluded to earlier, cult movies are ones that were not big box-office movies, not well-regarded or successful at the time but which became popular later - usually with a small sub-set of people who become fanatically devoted to the movies in question. The Rocky Horror Picture Show is perhaps the classic example of a cult movie. Casablanca for instance, although it it's a great classic movie and one of my personal favourites, is not a cult movie. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antonymous Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) Withnail and I (1987) M.Hulot's Holiday (1954) Lolita (1962) the James Mason, Shelley Winters original Eraserhead (1977) Eraserhead is truly my favourite 'cult' movie. David Lynch's surreal and very creepy masterpiece. WARNING: do not watch if 'expecting'. I made the terrible mistake years ago of giving the movie to a close friend whose wife had (unbeknownst to me) just had the good news that she was pregnant. They watched it that night...and didn't speak to me again for months! Edited November 19, 2018 by Antonymous 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turgid Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Primer - tiny budget time travel movie I enjoyed - plot not action. Thief - Stars James Caan and is an early Michael Mann movie. Not sure if its cult but i've never met anyone else who has seen it and its good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps many posters are responding with the movies they have enjoyed, or struck a chord. I suppose there has to be persnickety posters in the mix. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
