Cult Movie List...

From Christopher:

This is the list of top 50 Cult movies (or so) as chosen by Entertainment Weekly. I will bold the ones that I have seen and put a series of * to indicate how I liked it. ***** would indicate that it was the bomb diggity (a good thing). * indicates that you should really avoid this steaming pile of poo.

I think I’ll join in. Below is the list movies, and I’ll be using the same scoring method as described above. (And, yes, there’re are actually 61 movies in the list — go figure.)

1 This Is Spinal Tap **** 2 The Rocky Horror Picture Show ** 3 Freaks * 4 Harold And Maude *** 5 Pink Flamingos ** 6 The Texas Chainsaw Massacre ** 7 Repo Man ***** 8 Scarface **** 9 Blade Runner ***** 10 The Shawshank Redemption ***** 11 Five Deadly Venoms 12 Plan 9 From Outer Space ** 13 Brazil **** 14 Eraserhead ** 15 Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! * 16 The Warriors *** 17 Dazed And Confused ** 18 Hard-Boiled ***** 19 Evil Dead II ***** 20 The Mack 21 Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure **** 22 Un Chien Andalou 23 Akira *** 24 The Toxic Avenger ** 25 Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory ***** 26 Stranger Than Paradise 27 Dawn Of The Dead *** 28 The Wiz * 29 Clerks *** 30 The Harder They Come 31 Slap Shot **** 32 Re-Animator * 33 Grey Gardens 34 The Big Lebowski **** 35 Withnail and I 36 Showgirls * 37 A Bucket Of Blood 38 They Live ** 39 The Best Of Everything 40 Barbarella *** 41 Heathers ***** 42 Rushmore ***** 43 The Adventures Of Buckaroo Banzai Across The 8th Dimension ** 44 Love Streams 45 Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story 46 Aguirre, The Wrath of God 47 Walking And Talking Nicole Holofcener 48 The Decline Of Western Civilization II: The Metal Years ** 49 Friday *** 50 Faces of Death, Vol. 1 * 51 Monty Pyton and the Holy Grail **** 52 A Clockwork Orange ***** 53 Mommie Dearest *** 54 The Princess Bride **** 55 Swingers ** 56 UHF *** 57 Valley of the Dolls ** 58 Fight Club ***** 59 Dead Alive (aka Braindead) **** 60 Better Off Dead ***** 61 Donnie Darko *****
