46. Neither one is for the timid for different reasons

Mon Jun 4, 2018, 06:53 PM

Jun 2018

Henry is loosely based on Henry Lee Lucas and his friend Otis is loosely based on the kidnapper responsible for the first milk carton alert I forgot his real name . It's very real in a dull and violent way
Semi -Reality horror cult
White chicks is sooo bad and inappropriately hilarious it demands multiple viewings in my opinion
Wayans have said a WC II may come out ...it just better have a T Crews lip sync scene ! Some will see no humor in it I'm sure but a second generation is now into this cult great. So many teens love it they really should do a wcII but again it's so wrong maybe not the time

Creepy 2000 maniacs is old drive in gore about the south this too may not play to all
And I forgot Fritz is an X rated animation so this is also not for everyone oops

Is Freaks wrong too ? I decided not to add it but a classic cult to me also along with the short Andalusian Dog

I don't think that Pulp Fiction counts as a cult film. yardwork Jun 2018 #65

Agree. If any Tarantino is to be on the cult movie list it should at least be Straw Dogs lunasun Jun 2018 #68

I disagree red dog 1 Jun 2018 #73

I agree. I also don't think "A Clockwork Orange" counts either - by 1971, a Kubrick film was Midwestern Democrat Jun 2018 #112
