As KR are a bunch of high class intellectual citizens I would not be surprised to find that most of you are familiar with, or adore at least several cult movies.

I was looking at Wikipedia's definition of Cult films (cross-linked from "The Warriors"), to find that I have quite a few of these in among my favorites: -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_film
So firstly I see a few movies that I have even promoted on the forums in the past, like "Harold and Maude" and "The Warriors". And I even see "Office Space" (an old favourite) which I personally wouldn't consider cult, but there you go!

I love "Dune", and I love "Blade Runner" (cult cyber-punk, can't go wrong), "The Breakfast Club" (the awesome brat pack movie), "The Beastmaster". I'm so-so on "A Clockwork Orange" and "Evil Dead" & "Night of the Living Dead" (hehe) before I became a Christian (20 years ago). Also, I think I know Rocky Horror word for word, and that's including the words you shout out (not in the script) from the audience whist watching it.

And to my eternal embarrassment I have to admit having seen "Pink Flamingos" (and "Polyester" with Divine) - I am not recommending it, its a sick movie, but what can I say? I have 2 older brothers :P (I seriously do not recommend any John Waters movie.)

Final note: Cult movies are such because they appeal to a (mostly twisted) sub-culture - I'm straight-edge myself, but grew up with interesting friends, and even more interesting older brothers - so I'm saying I'm not recommending any of these, and also don't judge me by them >.<

Hmm.. lets take a look:

1) Dune... have it, love it.
2) Blade runner... have it.. love it.
3) Breakfast club... have it somewhere on vhs.. mmm, really good in its own way.
4) BeastMaster... On vhs as well somewhere.. use to absolutely love this movie.
5) A Clockwork Orange... never saw the movie, though I have the book.
6) Night of the living dead... Liked it alot, though I like most zombie movies for some reason.
7) Evil Dead... I found the first one great, and the others funny on a stupid level.
8) Rocky Horror... Can't compare it to anything else lol.

Talk about taking me on a trip down memory lane lol. I must also admit to watching as many of the old Japanese Godzilla movies as I possibly could!
