Favorite Cult Movies


Movies

1 to 50 of 104 << first < prev | 1 | 2 | 3 | next > last >>

I'm sure we've all got our favorites. Here are 5 of mine, in no particular order:

1)The Omega Man - God willing, when Judgement Day comes, all post-apocalyptic fashion will mirror the bold choices of Chuck Heston. Aviator shades, hip hugging jeans, a safari vest. . . BEHOLD THE FUTURE!

2)Death Race 2000 - Having revisited this recently I was reminded why it is one of the best of the worst. This is actually a brilliant social commentary. My girlfriend saw this the day after we watched the last Star Wars movie together. She contends that this is the better film. She may have a point. . .

3)Dead Alive - Also known as Brain Dead - I first saw this movie in 1994 and I was blown away. The goriest film of all time and very campy/funny. I made it my mission to watch everything else from this director. Then he turned out to be Peter Jackson.

4)Hard Rock Zombies - You've never heard of this one? Perhaps the stupidest, most horribly delightful movie EVAH. An 80's hair band that discovers a bass riff that raises the dead. Also stars a midget and Hitler. Need I say more? Oh, I could, but your head might explode from awesomeness overload.

5)A*P*E*- This is about a giant ape that falls in love with a pretty blonde girl and then goes on a rampage. One of the most original and striking love stories you'll ever see featuring a man in a terribly obvious monkey suit. Also stars the lovely Joanna De Verona (later to be known as Joanna Kerns, the mother on Growing Pains). You will truly be astounded as they run out of film and show you the same battle footage looped over and over again. Wear a diaper when you watch it. Its that good.

Scarab Sages

A couple of mine...

1) The Dunwich Horror - It may be ever so 70s, and it may only very loosely resemble the Lovecraft story, but I do have a warm place in my heart for this flick. An awfully young Dead Stockwell doing his 'Horns of Yog-Sothoth', a puffy Sandra Dee as the lead beauty-in-peril, and Ed Beagly (Sr.) as Prof. Armitage make it fun for me.

2) In the Mouth of Madness - Sam Neil as an insurance investigator sent to track down a dissappeared best-selling horror novelist, Sutter Cane (no, now Steven King, not one bit). ItMM and The Thing are John Carpenter's best horror movies, and, although it's not an adaptation of any Lovecraft story, it is such a perfect pean to the man that it can be viewed that way very easily. The way it handles tributes to Lovecraft - like "Pictman's Model" and wierd horror archetypes(things just outside our reality wanting to come in and set up shop), coupled with the way it deals with the modern cult-of-personality that grows up around our super-selling horror authors...it's just fricken' great!

3) Bubba Ho-Tep - Bruce Campbell as really old Elvis + Ozzy Davis really black JFK + Joe Landsdale + an redneck mummy suckin' senior citizens souls in an East Texas rest home = This is what B movies are all about!

You can also grab anything off of my Mystery Science Theater 3000 shelf and spend a rainy weekend laughing your ass off... "Mitchell!", "Manos, the Hands of Fate", "Attack of the the Eye Creatures" (ladies and gentelmen, the producers just didn't care!), "Cave Dwellers", "The Wild, Wild World of Batwoman", "Werewolves" (wer-wilfs?), and "The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies" (Ray Dennis Steckler is Cash Flagg as Jerry, Misunderstood Rebel with a greasy Serbo-Croatian James Dean- emulating cousin). C'mon over... I'll make tamales and pizza!

For some reason, I never liked Brain Dead all that much - it was too polished, or some such thing. Of course, the martial arts sequence ("I kick ass for the Lord!!") and the zombie dinner party are exceptions to this... However, Mr. Jackson's first move, Bad Taste, is a masterpiece, especially the theme song at the end.

I have a certain weakness for sub-moronic martial arts movies, especially if they are badly dubbed and shown late at night. The Chinese boxer might be the best of the bunch, especially if you see the version which is voiced by a single actor, who sounds like a frightfuly bored and resentful Eton toff.

Everybody's seen Plan 9 from outer space, as well as Tim Burton's excellent Ed Wood. But have you seen Mr. Wood's Bride of the monster? I have, and it is.... crap. But Bela Lugosi's encounter with the terrifyingly rubbery giant squid looks even better here than in Ed Wood, which is saying quite a bit.

Already highly enjoyable, Death Race 2000 becomes even better when you consider that this was Sylvester Stallone's first real movie role, after a failed foray into porn. Another muscle-man movie of questionable artistic merit is Hercules in New York, introducing us to a very young Arnold Schwarzenegger. Of course, Arnold's English wasn't up to snuff, so he's voiced by someone who sounds like he's inhaled an awful lot of helium. Still, nothing beats those Lou Ferrigno action-adventure flicks loosely based on Greek mythology - the best is the one where he fights all those clockwork Lego-monsters Hephasteus sends after him at Hera's behest, only to be helped by a Christmas-ornament owl. The title escapes me, but it is a viewing experience unlike any other.


Free Enterprise - William Shatner rapping Julius Caesar while parodying himself - plus lots of comic book and sci fi references - perhaps the perfect film

Evil Dead

Evil Dead II

Swingers

Dusk til Dawn

Clerks

Fist of the North Star

- I like a lot of indie films but they aren't really "cult" like say "Iron & Silk" which should be a cult film.


Highlander - Scottish sean Connery as a Spaniard, French Christopher Lambert as a Scotsman and Clancy Brown as the KURGAN !!! not to mention the OTT Queen soundtrack and the "sparkling" swords....

Robocop - the rousing Robo-theme music, the satirisation of 80's america ( a car ad for the S.U.X !!!), the whole frankenstein drama of Robo with it's american jesus subtext....the fact that i've sat through EVERY paul verhoven movie made since because of it.....

..Love them both equaly and won't hear a bad word against either...

the dvd release is the best! with the commentary track by 'the king'...dude! I wet myself listening to that. And I have to add a few to the list of MST 'Pod People', all the 'Gameras', 'Sidehacking', the two-part Japan space-opera 'Space-Wolf'????, and 'I was a teenage werewolf'...oh yeah the short films 'Mr B Natural', and any of the ones that had to do with trains...

And a crazy little film I found on the internet 'Heat Vision and Jack'...Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson and Jack Black! Find this film, watch it , memorize it! LOL!


If you can find it outside of Canada, check out "Jesus Christ: Vampire hunter". It's a little blasphemous, but all in good fun, I think.

The guy who played Jesus worked at the movie theater and I bought my ticket from him.

Pretty awesome.


Has anyone heard rumours of another (ANOTHER!) Highlander movie in production?

I heard something about this recently, it would be all Adrian Paul, no Christopher Lambert, but I'm not sure where...

Help me Internet Kenobi.

EDIT - IMDB says "Highlander: The Source (2006)" is in post-production.

Cannibal! The Musical, Trey Parker's first full length film is awesome. The touching tale of Alfred Packer, the first man in America convicted of cannibalism, set forth as a musical. It's pretty funny, but the songs are what really make it... "It's Gonna Be A Shpadoinkle Day" (a riff on Oklahoma's 'Oh! What a Beautiful Morning!'), "Let's Build a Snowman", and "Hang the Bastard" will get stuck in your brain for days.

For that matter Parker's movie Orgazmo was pretty funny, as well. A Mormon missionary in LA getting pulled into the porn world to make money to marry his saccarine sweet girlfriend. Lots of porn-star cameos and industry humor and a lusty(??) hispanic actor, Sancho, who is enamoured of his own machismo and self-identity. "Are you Sancho? No, you are not! Neither is Scott Baio Sancho. Frank Gifford is not Sancho!"

Highlander 3 wasnt too bad. Though i would agree that 2 was horrible. I actually walked out of the theater. Very disappointing.

I cant imagine them making another Highlander. The lead actor is getting a bit old. And frankly, i am tired of out of shape people playing the roles of superheros. Sooo unbelievable.

Liberty's Edge

"This is Spinal Tap" Mockumentry about a declining heavy metal band in the early 80's. Repsonsible for the line" "These go to 11."

"Office Space" Mike Judge's take on the modern work place. Un-godly realistic at times.


The Rocky Horror Picture Show - cross dressing hilarity with rock & roll soundtrack. Tim Curry is God!

Death Sport - Brought to you by the people who made Death Race 2000. David Carradine as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Richard Lynch as Darth Vader, motorcycles as x-wings, the Millenium Falcon, and T.I.E. fighters. Don't believe me? Watch and find out.

Eating Raoul - The adventures of Paul and Mary Bland.

Starship Troopers - The Hollywood school of Infantry. Over 2 hours, and only once do they start running out of ammo. If the real army had been like this, I would have never left!

Dark City - Fans of the Expanded Psionics Handbook, take note.

Meet the Feebles - The satanic muppet show on acid. Another early Peter Jackson film.

Wizards - A post-apocalyptic tale by Ralph Bakshi. Eleanor rekindled my interest in fairies.

Ravenous - "If you die first, I'm definitely going to eat you."

The Crow - Revenant on the loose in mythic Detroit.

Fight Club - A morality tale about the dangers of insomnia.

Breaker Morant - Courtroom drama about the costs of empire building.

Escape from New York - My high school was a bit like this.

The Road Warrior - Just like New Mexico, but more civilized!

Tank Girl - The title says it all.


Zulu--Micheal Caine in one of his earliest roles, recreation of the battle of Rorke's Drift in 1879. Not really a cult movie, but kind of in that it's not all that well known.

Army of Darkness--trapped in time, surrounded by evil, low on gas...Bruce Campbell, hardware salesman, goes back in time to the middle ages with a shotgun and a chainsaw...the fight with the zombie at the bottom of the execution pit is the best.

Kung Pow--so stupid, so funny, the stick beating scene...well that's all I can say about that.

Any and all Monty Python Films--just the best stuff

Rustler's Rhapsody--Tom Berenger as a 1930's white hat movie cowboy goes to the real wild west and can never shoot anyone, just the guns out of their hands...because he's the good guy, right?

Amazon Women on the Moon--no explanation necessary, the title says it all.

Kentucky Fried Movie--once again, nothing else needs to be said.

Heavy Metal--cartoon characters doing it. Not so unusual now, but back in 1981 it was cutting edge.

Planet of the Apes series--the original ones, not the crap from a few years ago.


Wolf.
Screamers.
Once Upon a Time in China (all of 'em).

Liberty's Edge

Meet the Feebles
Toxic Avenger
Class of Nukem High
(the original) Dawn of the Dead
Gargoyles (from the 70's with Scott Glenn in one of those cheesy roles you do before you get discovered)

:) Two great films there!

Any of the Troma movies is bound to get me happy.

Other offbeat movies of mine are:
Donnie Darko (But not the directors cut for some reason.)
Harold and Maude
Broken Flowers
Pink Flamingos
The Day After
The Quiet Earth
Repo man

I could go on (and on) but I’ve previously made a mammoth movie list here somewhere and I may not be able to prevent myself if I don’t walk away from the keyboard right now!

I haven’t eaten in over 24 hours due to just being plain old busy and the dizzy-shakes are getting me something awful.

Chow mien and Lucozade here I come!


Looking through forums, spotted this one, and figured I'd give it a go. Since everyone else is listing cult favorites, here are a couple of mine:

Donnie Darko
Half-Baked
Harold and Kumar go to White Castle
Mel Brooks' History of the World Part 1
Anything directed by Quentin Tarantino

Too many to list. Just listing five is too much for me, but oh well.

Silver Crusade

Ok I have weird taste in movies chalk it up to a stuffy british upbringing but here goes:

Hawk the Slayer

Requiem for a Dream

Momento

Pi

Lock Stock and Two smoking Barrels

WHAT!! I forgive you, sir, as you are not British. I can assure that Zulu is very well known here. All together now:

"Men of Harlech....."

Have to agree on all counts. While arguably more faithful to the book (at least at the end) the Tim Burton one was a travesty compared to Chuck's original.

Oh yes, and beware the horns of the buffalo.

That was "Warlords of Atlantis" starring Doug McClure.

Watched "Slither" again the other night. Top class B-Movie with the great Nathon Fillion.

Get ready for Grindhouse then. I saw the trailer the other night and it looks like a big budget tribute to a lot of cult/exploitation movies. Good times. Although with its big name directors and huge Hollywood budget, I have a hard time really calling it a cult film.


Nermal2097 wrote:

Ah Slither! This was the best written bad movie of the last couple of years. I think it has its roots in a couple of old Troma writers, for any Troma fans out there who have not seen it yet. I highly recommend. Plus its got captain Reynolds in it, and lets face it, the guy has got charisma.

Here's an addition to the cult movie list:

Night of the Lepus - This terrifying tale tells the story of irradiated rabbits who grow to abnormal size and hunger for human flesh. The special effects (way ahead of their time) include such groundbreaking techniques as extreme close-ups on domesticated bunnies, and a man in a large rabbit suit attacking the camera. Most horrifying of all, however, is the actual documentary footage of thousands of rabbits being wrangled and crashing into a fence at top speed. It stars DeForest "Bones" Kelly and it will change the way you look at Easter forever.

Awwww... Another thing you might want to do while watching this gem is to spot the Matchbox and Corgi logos on the bottoms of the cars the giga-bunnies turn over during their frenzied hunt for human flesh (the blood of their victims dripping from their noses is very visibly just strawberry jam). They don't really make movies like this anymore...

While we are at it, does anyone remember the name of that 1950ies sci-fi scare-a-thon with the alien being played by some guy in a gorilla suit with a deep-sea diver helmet which communicated with his home planet by blowing soap bubbles out of a WW2 radio set? He spends most of his time hanging out in a cave pondering the strangeness of human emotions like love, before occasionally coming out to wave menacingly at random passers-bys. It was better than Pearl Harbor, but not quite as good as Deep Impact...

Grand Lodge

It is all coming back to me now... It is Robot Monster! A classic, I tell you! Classic!


Yeah, Omegaman was great. Evil Dead and Highlander are no longer "cult," in my opinion; they long ago became mainstream.
My favorite cult classic? "The Kentucky Fried Movie."


Has anyone mentioned "Story of Ricky"? Most over-the-top violence of almost any movie ever.


James Keegan wrote:

Oh yeah, it's a gory one alright! I like how he has to tie his own severed tendons back together and the insanity of how guys start using their own intestines to strangle others, not to mention the plain old 'boring' act of punching guys head in half.

One to put on the tv for the family at christmas for sure.

Dataphiles

Alright time to see who really knows their "B grade" fantasy movies.

Nighthawk: a truly wonderfully awful low budget film, featuring of all people Jack palance as a One eyed villain.

Hearts In Armor: High costume budget... awful everything else... a Great D&D inspirational movie.

StormQuest: Men fight for equal rights in a female dominated fantasy kingdom. it'll make your eyes bleed!

Ladyhawk: an undersung classic, a couple in love are cursed, during the day she becomes a hawk, at night he transforms into a wolf.

Beastmaster: no not the awful Sci-fi tv series, and don't bother with any of the sequals. the first movie is the only one worth watching.

Sword and the Scorcerer: Yes theres a movie, and its bad... a prince must win back his kingdom from an evil mage. First movie attempt to make "a bad-ass magic sword" this prop sprts three sword blades, two of which can be 'fired' at people, and then on top of it all theres a concealed short sword in the hilt.

Red Sonja: This movie paid for Conan the Cestroyer, co-stars Arnold alongside some eminently forgettable actress with bad red hair extensions. It has a decent 'Water-Dragon' fight scene, and lots of scantily clad fantasy babes.

I could go on for a long time, but I'll spare you the pain. My knowledge of this selection of Stupifyingly awful films, comes from Growing up in the SCA, and beginning to play D&D at the tender age of 6. A combination of fates that I wouldn't wish on anyone... especially anyone from Ohio...

I actually still think Ladyhawke isn't completely awful... at least, it has Rutger Hauer in it. Hey, the man was in Blade Runner, as well as that movie where he plays a blind kung-fu maniac (Blind Fury? My memory cells are melting...)! And it is certainly better than the second Conan movie - or Beastmaster. I didn't know there was a series - or sequels. *shudder*

The female star of Red Sonja is Brigitte Nielsen, these days best known for dating rapmeister Flavor Flav. Back then, however, she was best known for dating Sylvester Stallone, and for being such a bad actress that she made Ah-nold look like Sir John Gielgud - talk about progress! Man, what a mess this movie is...

Liberty's Edge

Yeah, but it had Ernie in it!

I loved "Beastmaster!" (of course, I refused to see part 2). Then again, I watched it with my gaming group at age 10, so that might have a lot to do with it.


Just a few that I usually have to watch if they're being shown...

The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai Across the 8th Demension
Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)
Zorro the Gay Blade
Hudson Hawk

Liberty's Edge

15. Half-Baked
14. Peter Jackson's Bad Taste
13. Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny
12. Evil Dead II
11. House of 1,000 Corpses
10. The Devil's Rejects
9. Dungeons and Dragons
8. Office Space
7. The Evil Dead
6. This is Spinal Tap
5. Ator: the Blade Master
4. Super Troopers
3. Bubba Ho-Tep
2. Alien Apocalypse
1. Army of Darkness


Big Trouble in Little China- the capstone to Kurt Russel-a-thons. Which must include Tombstone, and Escape from NY.

Shogun Assassin- Banned in the states for a while. nuff said.

Army of Darkness- of course, although reading this board is making me want to watch Evil Dead 2.

Story of Ricky! man, I haven't thought of that in a long time.

I can't believe someone mentioned Troma videos, let alone as a positive.

Berry Gordy's "The Last Dragon"- Sho 'nuff. The Shogun... of Harlem!

Equilibrium- I am sure alot of people here have seen it, but I don't think it ever got much public notoriety.

Nightwatch (Nochnoi Dozor)- Great Russian film, with 2 more to come.


A couple more to throw out there:

Battle Royale - Imagine that the Lord of the Flies got hepped up on crystal meth and then made a baby with The Running Man and The Breakfast Club. Then they take that baby and ship him off to an island with other psycho children, give them random weapons and the instructions to kill, kill, kill. The violence and highly questionable subject matter got this movie banned upon its release in Japan. Also stars the cutie who played Go-Go in Kill Bill: Volume I.

The Street Fighter - No. Not the Jean Claude Van Damme abortion that they caught on celluloid back in the 90's. I'm talking the original Sonny Chiba masterpiece. For fans of hard hitting martial arts and over the top violence, this movie is for you. It spawned a number of sequels, but start here to learn why Sonny Chiba (also featured in Kill Bill) is a much bigger man than you are. The opening theme music is also some of the best I have ever heard in a film. Cant tell whether it makes me want to kick ass or shake booty. Always be a number one man.


Nobody mentioned Yellowbeard? Great film.

All the Evil Deads are great. And since I saw History of the World part 1, why didn't anyone mention Blazing Saddles?

What about Omega Doom? Another Rutger Hauer film about androids throwing knives. BTW... Blind Fury is the blind samurai movie of his.

Heathers- Winona Ryder and Chritian Slater (doing his best Jack Nicholson). "Can you bleach out urine stains?"

Mallrats- "SON OF JOR-EL, KNEEL BEFORE ZOD! snootchy-bootchy"

Day the Earth Stood Still- A tale of a man and his robot.

Ed and His dead Mother- Black humor and very funny.

Things to do in Denver When You're Dead- One of my favorites.

Big trouble in Little China

The Sword and the Sorcerer (with the 3-bladed sword)

The Puppetmaster movies

Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon (Sho Nuff the Shogun of Harlem)

I'm Gonna Get You Sucka (because very good hero has to have his theme music)


Damn you zombie I was going to say Big trouble in Little China and I'm Gonna Git You Sucka! Even with only partial actions you still beat me to it...

Oh well, my other three are:

Office Space: "Yeah, Peter, I'm going to have to get you to, you know, go ahead and work on sunday too, mmmkay?"

Super Troopers: That openings scene is classic. "You are freaking out... Man." Also, "evil shenanigans" cracks me up every single time.

Old Boy (aka Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance): the fight scene where he walks through that corridor and all those dude's 2x4's break on his fists is just awesome.


Oops forgot these 2

Monty Pythons Holy Grail
The Princess Bride

Liberty's Edge

Unless I missed it, I don't think anyone's mentioned Tremors yet?

WOLVERINES!

Ah, ya gotta hate those Russians. Sometimes I think TNT should just have a "F-U Russia Afternoon" and show Red Dawn, Rocky IV and Rambo III back to back.


uhm; love a lot that are already mentioned, but

Rocky - the first one
First Blood
Silver Bullet, and many other werewolf films (remember werewolves have nards :)
Salem's Lot and many other vampire films (remember; creatures of the night - shut up!)
series like Buffy, Star Trek(s), Firefly, Babylon 5
Lone Wolf and Cub (sometimes called Shogun Assassin)
Vampire Hunter D, Ninja Scroll and some other anime like Robotec
Silverado - a great western
many John Wayne flicks: Green Berets; The man who shot liberty valance
Many Errol Flynne flicks, love the swashbuckling
Cabin Boy lol and other pirate movies like Treasure Island
Goonies
Flash Gordon
Raiders of the Lost Arc +
Sparticus
Masada
many Jules Verne movies
Alien
V
Streets of Fire.
sheesh; Bruce Lee
Cannonball Run and Gumball Rally
Fantasia
and definately; Kelly's Heroes.
sigh; I guess we have a lot of movies we get together and watch periodically as a group. Theme nights so to speak the Evil Dead trilogy is a favorite.

oh; my favorites; They call me Nobody; Nobody is my Name; all those Terance Hill and Bud Spencer flick and the one Hill made with Henry Fonda.

I was going to post a smart ass comment that Red Dawn is not a cult movie, but then I went to the definitive source of information on the internet (aka Wikipedia) and there, low and behold, I read:

"Produced in the last decade of the Cold War, Red Dawn has become something of a cult classic and has become a touchstone of 1980's pop culture."

Now, Rocky on the other hand, winner of a best picture oscar and all that jazz, is most certainly not a cult movie Valegrim. Same goes for Goonies and Raiders of the Lost Arc.


well, cult to me means it is fairly old and some people groan when you mention it; but you can always get peeps to come over and watch it and stuff; our cult i suppose. A lot of our martial art cult classics we dont know the titles for as they are in Chinese and have subtitles, kind of like the Seven Samurai. Also, it has to have several quotables.

Is Conan a cult movie; hmm the Barbarian Brother probably are and how about Up In Smoke and those movies hehe; all good stuff but probably not gonna win any awards; so basically; if you win an award are you excluded from a cult classic? did the Rocky Horror Picture show win an award; is probably the most popular cult classic.
