"Last chance for ice!"

"female trouble" is my favorite

all the divine movies take a special twisted mind.

terry gilliam's "brazil" seems fairly familiar to those of us in modern dystopia.

2. Repo Man
3. The Big Lebowski

Thanks for sharing!!!

There's a liiight...

the audience I was with in Austin yelled, "IT IS IN TEXAS!!!"

The callbacks are the best!

I knew a whole bunch back in the day, forgot pretty much of them, it's been so long....

It’s Divine!

but since The Big Lebowski was already picked, I’ll say Office Space.

...it will be my movie tonight, thanks!

AI Overview
Desperate to protect his job from a bureaucratic rival, the head of the French secret service (Jean Rochefort) picks outs a stranger, François Perrin (Pierre Richard), from a Paris crowd and singles him out as a master spy who should be tracked very closely. In reality, François is an amiable, if clumsy, classical violinist whose complete obliviousness to the agents watching him only further convinces them that they have a major undercover operative in their sights.

...is on my list

John Carpenter

They never topped that one.

Two thumbs up for Lebowski.

😳
😱




✌🏻

but somehow missed the film.

"I wanna show you a trick Mother showed me when you weren't around to use on special occasions like this."

One of the greatest animated films ever.

Avatar is the hero we all need.

Get this. My next to the youngest brother saw it in school... in the second grade. I love that teacher.

I wanted to show it to the after-school group when I worked at the school, but I could not find an edited edition and we did not have the means to make one at the time. But, I did show it to the crew that I used to babysit for. They absolutely loved it and would quote it at times. (I requested that they refrain from doing that anywhere but at the house and with me only.)

Their favorite part?

Weird and creepy. (Actually, ANY David Lynch film.)

"Hey, would somebody please pass the ketchup?"

And then there's "Life Of Brian" and "Monty Python And The Holy Grail" --dayum, those were FUNNY!

but The Gods Must Be Crazy is an all-time favorite. It comes to mind often.

1960s spy-fi satire starring James Coburn

Perfectly encapsulates 1968.

Keep the faith, baby.

Starring Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward, Michael Gross (the dadi n Family Ties), and Reba McEntire who also sang the song in the closing credits.

I'm yelling because this gem doesn't get mentioned enough in the world and it's a perfect movie with great actors, subtle humor, genuinely moving moments and a BRILLIANT soundtrack by Stephen Trask that should have scored some Grammys dammit.

S'there!!!

Lol and catchy tunes.

This Sci Fi movie starred Leslie Nielsen, and was also the first movie Robby the Robot appeared in.

That movie is where it came from.

Of course, he's a bit better looking than I am.

... I consider it a mainstream science-fiction movie. Not only that, I think it's the BEST science-fiction movie ever made. IMHO.

Lithgow is hysterical!

...I'll add Repo Man.
Very odd movie with Emilio Estevez & Harry Dean Stanton.
A sci-fi dark comedy taking shots at Reagan era policies.
Haven't seen it in a long time, but probably watched it 20 times.
I'll also add Real Genius.

I thought of this movie, too. Must that lattice of coincidence

The band used "plate of shrimp" to describe coincidence all the time!

With "Living in Oblivion" a close second.

I've never watched The Big Lebowski, TBH

... Donnie Darko.

... ooh and Being John Malkovich.

... and, I guess a lot of MST3K movies would qualify as "cult" too.

DU FTW!!!

I'm going w/ Buckaroo Banzai (today 'cuz my movie favorites also change often)...

John Lithgow as Emilio Lizardo / Lord Whorfin is one of my favorite cinematic roles of all time.

It's the most realistic depiction of middle/high school in Texas in the late '70s on film.

And so begins (I attempted to keep my list down to dull roar ) of MY fav cult movies!


Happy Birthday to Me - 1981

Halloween - 1978

The Lost Boys - 1987

The Witches of Eastwick - 1987

Death Becomes Her - 1992

The Blair Witch Project - 1999

Dogma - 1999 (Can Kevin Smith please, please, please obtain the rights to this movie? Thank you.)

Jawbreaker - 1999

What Lies Beneath - 2000 (Most likely not yet considered a cult movie but it definitely has the characteristics of one. I certainly can not discount it. )

Trick 'r Treat - 2007

The Happening - 2008

The VVitch - 2015

Also, Pump up the Volume

It was on YouTube for awhile but it would nice for it to be re-released

25th anniversary! It was tied up in rights issues with the Weinstiens and Disney. Kevin Smith finally regained the rights and it will be released on Blu-Ray and digital platforms by Paramount.

Thank you for the terrific news, TexasBushwhacker!


Oh, happy day!

Saw this at the dollar theater in OKC when i was 19yrs.. Always stuck with me . Have the book by Walter Tevis.
There is a good documentary about his life. The movie is somewhat self biographical.

I had the old paperback book too until it yellowed and disintegrated.

And Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Excalibur the 1981 version that has Helen Mirren as Morgana and The Fifth Element.

Sucker Punch
Kill Bill
Scream
Final Destination
Nightmare Before Christmas


(Not sure if those qualify as a cult classic though)

Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins
Ruthless People
Sorry couldn’t pick just one.

This classic is very high on my list of favorites...

It's so odd and the cast is stellar.

nt

Little Shop of Horrors - one of my alltime faves. It has everything, song, music, drama, comedy, villain, heroine, hero and sci-fi!!

A Clockwork Orange is up there, too, along with Koyaanisqatsi and The Seventh Seal.

but "12 Monkeys" is incredibly good, and in my opinion the most purely science-fictional movie I've ever seen.

It's almost time to dig out my "Die Hard" advent calendar...




https://youtube.com/shorts/vkd0YADZYrY


"Die Hard" is my holiday cult favorite film...

Thank you, John McClane (Bruce Willis) for many, many awesome holiday memories...

Alan Rickman (Hans Gruber), you are sorely missed...

Happy trails, y'all...

Frederic Forrest, Peter Boyle and Marilu Henner in a fictional story of
author Dashiell Hammett investigating the disappearance of an actress.
A nice touch is Elisha Cook Jr. as Hammett's cab driver friend.

1988: John Carpenter's They Live.

It's very entertaining but also kind of an eye-opener about how we're being manipulated to consume and conform. In the movie (mild spoilers) it's aliens, but here it's the mega-wealthy and those they employ.

"I'm here to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and I'm all out of bubble gum."

Paris Texas (1984)

Liquid Sky (1982)

"The Departed" fits the bill for me.

One of my favorite movies. Thora Birch gave an outstanding performance in this movie, as well did Steve Buscemi.

2. Rocky Horror Picture Show
3. The Magic Sword (starring Basil Rathbone in a post-Sherlock Holmes role as a bad guy)

The original The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is the greatest mad-slasher movie ever made. I haven't watched it in a long time. I just can't take it because it's so incredibly intense. During the run-up to Halloween a few weeks ago the cable channels were all showing non-stop mad-slasher movies 24/7 and I watched I think every Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie ever made ... except the very first one, the original! Why is that? Why did those cable channels show every one EXCEPT the original? Which is also by far the BEST one? I think that's a commentary on how GREAT that movie is. It's just too intense for cable.
