So this afternoon I watched, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension ( 1984) and now watching Strange Days (1995) normally a film I watch on NYE.
I think both are cult films.
What are your cult film recommendations ?
Or even films that tanked at the box office but you love ?
Streets of Fire is another for me.  |

The Room.
There are a few more but I always think of The Room when I read cult films. I once attended a screening where we chucked plastic cutlery at the screen during the appropriate part. |

He’s brilliant in “The Thing” but Big Trouble in Little China did terrible at the box office. No idea why because it’s an amazing film. |

Big Trouble to me, is his best role. The reason there’s plenty of actors who could play his role in The Thing or Escape from New York.
But he totally owns the character of Jack Burton, comedic and heroic definitely hard to play well. |

Stephen King didn’t like Kubricks Film.
Personally I don’t see it as a ‘Cult Film’ due to its popularity and genius Director. However it’s a film I think every film lover should see at least once. |

Rocky Horror not only told me that being a Transvestite was Ok, but it could be empowering as well. Tim Curry looked great, Richard O Brien wrote a great story and suddenly I was accepted and accepting of myself.

Can’t believe only one mention for Tremors so far! An absolute classic!!
Kevin Bacon at his best!
Although Footloose should be in the conversation too! |

A bit further up …yes I mention it
I love Footloose as well but in my view not a cult film, too mainstream |

"Big Trouble in Little China
Kurt Russell best role or was it in ‘The Thing’ or even ‘Escape from New York’ ? "
No, I think “Big Trouble” is his best, a really great movie that deserves cult status.
Now give me s mo and I shall think of some obscure movie that I love and nobody really watches |

My favourite film is Lucky Number Slevin which few have heard of but has an amazing cast so not sure if it qualifies or not but still a great film |

After reading through all of the above suggestions it’s impossible to pick one.
Some great choices and some I’ve never heard of.

Ok !
So “The Big Lebowski” has already been mentioned as has “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”
What about : both “Bladerunner” films?
: Cyrano de Bergerac
: Cinema Paradiso
And Layercake ! |

A bit further up, you’ll see I agree with you. Jack Burton could’ve been a really two dimensional character but Kurt makes him into a real person. Full of bravado and idiosyncrasies a guy we really feel for. He’s not perfect but he’s trying really hard to do the right thing,
I absolutely love his character |

Cinema Paradiso is in my top ten films, actually top five. But I wouldn’t call it a cult film as it won an Oscar. Cyrano de Bergerac is also a classic.
However Layer cake is a great film especially as it helped Daniel get the Bond part. Recently rewatched RocknRolla which is a lot better than I expected. |

I would say Come and See should be a cult classic
Extremely heavy hitting war film about what the Germans got up to in Belarus during WW2. Not for the faint of heart though |

Yes, cinema Paradiso and cyrano … more classic than cult but because they are both foreign films and I have seen classics like Cool Hand Luke on the list I thought I would try and slip them in!!
What about “The Quiet Man”?
I think more classic than cult , but always worth a mention |

Yes I’ve seen this film. It’s absolutely horrific.
It’s certainly on a list of films you should see, but only if you can live with those images (of true events) afterwards.
Cult classic maybe but one not for everyone |

Definitely ‘classic’ especially that fight scene.
But due to it being a great film (admittedly some issues with the way women are treated) it can’t be a cult film  |

Not sure I’d say it’s a cult film, however it’s one film I could be persuaded of the opposite view. Definitely agree the music certainly adds to its appeal. |

No argument with ‘Under the Skin’ in fact that needs a rewatch
Not seen Killing of a Sacred Deer.
Drive will definitely be a cult classic in a few more years. That jacket, the music, the scene in the lift and the ending. Loved it |

No argument as I have a few of his books. They’re cult classics as are films about him. Plus Depp was a good friend of his. |

But you could also argue, that the cult nature of the hierarchy and the religious zeal, in itself makes the devils a cult film. The parallels between the doctrine of the church, and the bastardisation of it, are on par with more recent cults like Manson etc. The whole film is both unforgettable and challenging, from the nature of its subject, to the film score, and the whole roller coaster of emotions you’re taken on.
But I think part of the reason that many haven’t heard of it (It was one of the film I studied on censorship) and so for some it doesn’t have that cult status, is because of its controversy and the censorship that surrounds it, even to this day.
A pity, as Oliver Reed was phenomenal in it xx |

This is, of course, subjective, and what may be a film that some see as a cult film, may not be by others- case in point, The Devils. I see it’s social commentary, on the abuse of power, and the censorship following its release (in fact, even before then) as making it a cult film.
Others don’t. But it’s been great reading all the recommendations of films as cult films, and some to look out for xx |

Maybe it’s because I’ve seen it several times that I see it as a classic. But as an avid film lover maybe I forget that others may not have even heard of it.
Ken Russell was a great film maker and to me this will always be a great film. That’s why I think it’s a classic and not cult but I won’t argue if it goes into cult status.
Now Ken Russell Tommy by the Who, for me that’s a cult film of his. |
