    Default Cult Movies!

    Simple enough, really: I want you to name the first three cult movies that come to your mind, or the three you most want to think about.

    That was one of those videos we had as kids that we watched over, and over, and over. I've seen Monster Squad hundreds of times.

    Yeah, we watched it the same way when I was a kid. I haven't seen it in years, though. I can't decide if I should let my memory remain as it is or risk having it ruined by an adult's eye.

    Does The Princess Bride count as a cult movie?

    I figure it would count as much as Blade Runner.

    You'd be surprised how well it holds up. I mean, it's kind of a doofus movie in the first place and you can tell it was made on a budget of approximately $500, but I wanted to be Rudy soooo badly when I was a kid.

    So looking at this, Rocky Horror is the big one, I'm glad Killer Tomatoes had another vote.

    I would add Heavy Metal, Wizards and the Wall as my next 3 though I think of those as more Stoner Midnight Movies than Cult I guess.

    Attack of the Killer Tomatoes has got to top any list of cult movies, it's just so......weird. And awesome. Killer Klowns also should get top billing, and I'd have to expect Meet the Feebles to be on any self respecting cult movie list.

    And Carnosaur. And Evil Dead. And Angel Heart. And Jacobs Ladder. Donnie Darko too.

    Withnail and I

    Quatermass and the Pit

    The Wicker Man - and I definitely mean the superior original version not the remake.

    Rocky Horror

    Princess Bride

    Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

    Those are the first three I thought of. I do not necessarily endorse any of them, however.

    If I could have added a fourth:

    Lair of the White Worm

    I love Lair of the White Worm. My mom would never let me rent it when I was a kid, but when we were in High School the local mom and pop video store went out of business and some friends and I bought out the "Horror" section for a few bucks and help schlepping stuff out of the store. That was the first one I watched. Then Kiss of the Spider Woman.

    I've seen almost every horror movie made between 1977 and 1990 at least once, if not more. We had hundreds of videos.

    I think this movie has the distinction of being Hugh Grant's first lead opportunity.

    I only saw it once and laughed my ass off.
