Hey! Anyone want to recommend some cult movies for me to rent? The reason I'm posting this now is cause I finally saw Rosemarys Baby yesterday and loved that. Also I'm a huge eraserhead fan.

basket case - good old fashioned cheesy horror
bad taste - Peter Jacksons first and low budget cannibal alien film, hilarious.
Also want to ditto evil dead and dark star.

what a brilliant list.
bad boy bubby is a must see, as are the 2 peter jackson ones. and evil dead goes without saying.
the whole 'cat n' gladwrap' scene still disturbs me now, even tho i haven't seen the movie in several years...

I watched this, Gohatto(Taboo, in English) last night on tv, a really beautiful samurai film with a surprizing twist(s). Plus it had Beat Takeshi in it, so it's worth watching.
Fireworks has to be added to this list as well, really amazing, beautiful film. Kikujiro is also great and very touching.

Saw that again a while ago, really off the wall and quite engaging.
i saw it at the Egyptian last year which was a treat. the director was there for a Q&A afterwards (with translator).. seemed like a cool guy
i actually wan't completely crazy about the film but it had some amazing things going on visually. the guy is clearly trying to make poetry and not "movies" |

great films listed here. i agree with Joey Joe Jo about ZOOLANDER. i don't know about the funniest film in 20 years, but it's completely underrated
a recent obscure one (check it out):
THE AMERICAN ASTRONAUT

If you mean the John Leguizamo movie then you must be trippin. I mean if you love bad acting then it's a must see! I suppose that right there makes it entertaining in it's own right though.
How about
TRUE STORIES (someone said it but I'm just re-affirming
STRANGER THAN PARADISE (i don't like many J.J. films but this is a goodie)

You can't knock Enter the Dragon. I was obsessed with this movie when I was a kid and almost started worhipping the late great Lee Xiao Long (thats Bruce Lee). I even went to a Bruce Lee convention in Birmingham so that I could meet Jim "Mr Williams" Kelly. I got to shake his hand and he told me 'Man, you come right out of a comic book." He even said stuff like "Bullshit" in his trademark way... it was well cool.

It was stupid, like an adaptation of "Thelma and Louise" that Tarantino would have made in film school. Wasn't even worth the sex scenes.
Is it even a cult film?
Homers, you are right -- the woman who played Nadine (the taller of the two) was a porn star who ODed on pills earlier this year.

No I meant in real life. Apparantly the one who used to be a porn star (actually I think they may have both been porn stars) killed herself.

Aaah I see. Before they used the word fuck eh?
By the way, none of you Frenchmen ever did tell me why one of the girls in it killed herself. Did she not leave a note or a clue as to why?

Haha yeah I just put it down to see what his reaction would be after seeing it. It's a film that will shock if you know nothing about it.
Can we just delete our last posts Xavier and tell him that it's a nice family movie about hedgehogs?

How could I forget Man Bites Dog!, Thanks Joey Joe Jo, the most disturbingly brillant film I've ever seen. Boys from Brazil is great Misterwoe, very creepy! Harold and Maude has come up in so many threads I really have to see it,. I scanned this page in from an 70's film magazine I have, the poster always looked cool, now I have to see the film.
Carl! Martin Sheen is soooooo cool in Badlands, such a great film! I didn't realize it was semi-based in reality!
