Top Cult Movies

Damn, you guys are really bringing up some golden oldies!! Love it!
I think they remade "Manchurian Candidate" a few years back...
Can't think who was in it, but it wasn't near as good as the original. It lost all that Cold War espionage feel that gave the story its motivation.

Lair of the white worm was good, I remember liking the girl that was in it (the evil one?)
Anyone seen "Frankenwienie"?

Frankenweinie? Was that Tim Burtons short film? I think its on my Nightmare Before Christmas DVD. How about Gymkata!! or The Last Dragon " Am i the prettiest ? SHO NUFF!! " or on the animation front The Last Unicorn or Wizards?

They "re-made" Manchurian Candidate with Denzel Washington and ????. I borrowed movie from a friend....garbage. As you say, Violet, "Man-Can" was a "product of it's time!

BTW....Check out the "Outer Limits: 100 Days of The Dragon" (original series)

If we're talking animation cult films... :D
I gotta nominate "Heavy Metal". It still stands up. The follow-up was pure dreck in comparison though.
"Wizards" was ok, I remember it had some good animation, and a few good moments. "The Hobbit" was pretty bad as I recall, I still remember the songs "Where there's a whip, there's a way" and "Frodo of the nine fingers" because they were so comically bad!

Back to regular features,
I was thinking that "Idiocracy" is also a good cult movie. I think it was on the shelf for at least a couple years before they finally released it.
There was alot of gossip about what was in it and why they wouldn't release it. When it finally did come out, I don't think it did alot of box office business, but I know it has finally caught on, and now its becoming a regular on cable/satellite tv.

I think Fudd-Ruckers was a little miffed that their franchise evoled ( de-evolved ) into Butt-Fuckers and Starbucks offers blowjobs w/ a biscotti. LOL

:D Rockabilly I think your exactly right!!
Its cool that the film (and us!) eventually won out.

I swear I was in Home Depot or Lowes the other day, and there was a guy in front that sounded just like the guy welcoming customers to Costco...

...Don't know why, but I just thought of "Schlock" and "C.H.U.D." !! Both bad movies, but each definitely has a following..

Or the CHUD sequel, Great now i got that " Bud the Chud " song stuck in my head. And It's Alive , ya gotta admire a mutant killer baby plot.
