Favorite "Cult" Movies

[Jagger69]

Did a search for this after looking over the "favorite movie quotes" thread and didn't find any match so here goes....

We all know of movies that never did well at the box office or received any awards, rave reviews or other accolades....and we absolutely love them nonetheless. Some have even attained "cult" status by generating a huge following of enthusiasts who never tire of watching them over and over again. Some might be movies loved only by you and no one else.

For me, 2 that immediately come to mind are The Big Lebowski and Fight Club. Both awesome flicks and highly underrated. I rarely miss a chance to view either one of them no matter how many times I see them.

Let's hear some of your's that fit the category....

If you read my original post, that's why I put the "cult" part of the thread title in quotes. It doesn't necessarily have to enjoy "cult" status but should qualify as an unheralded flick of some sort. The Big Lebowski never won any awards or made a lot of money at the box office that I am aware of. Did it??

I don't really know if any of my choices fit in here, as I really don't know exactly how successful they were or how many people actually like them.

Starship Troopers is underrated IMHO. That's one of the first movies that I thought of. I watch it regularly and I still find it entertaining.

I also like movies such as Kingpin and A Night at the Roxbury.

I also have to admit that I like the Judge Dredd movie and still watch it from time to time.

Ah yes; Marianna Hill :thumbsup:

 

[L3ggy]

Judge Dredd is good and so is kingpin and Starship trooper is a bit lesser good.
