This is one of my all time favorite movies. Judd Nelson has never been more attractive. I know that means something is wrong with me and I have managed to live a semi normal life despite that. Hit me with your favorite cult movies.

Napoleon Dynamite is a front runner for weird but wonderful.

"The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension", a good old-fashioned movie serial style sci-fi adventure flick about a rockstar science hero (PhD _and_ MD) and his motley crew of fellow rockstar science heroes, starring RoboCop vs. John Lithgow in his BEST PERFORMANCE EVER, together with Christopher Lloyd, Clancy Brown, Jeff Goldblum etc. etc. Don't worry if you feel like there's a bunch of backstory you've missed, that's on purpose. :D

Still waiting for that sequel...

Dissed at the time by many because it was a trsnsparrnt effort to make a cult movie. Big ad budget.

I mean, hey, it worked! :D

"Vidocq". A surreal French historical fantasy murder mystery very (very, VERY) loosely inspired by a real detective of that name. Like a mix of "Brotherhood of the Wolf" and "The City of Lost Children". (Speaking of which, there's two more French cult favorites for ya!) Came out long before Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes. It's by the director of the execrable Halle Berry "Catwoman", but you genuinely couldn't tell; I guess every _auteur_ gets one chance at redemption, even if pre-emptively...

Oh man "Brotherhood of the Wolf" is so beautiful!

Love City of Lost Children. Have you seen Delicatessen? Another great French one.

Oh yeah! Yet another favorite of mine. If you like weird high concept movies like that, French and Spanish cinema are real goldmines. :)

I'm very fond of "Six-String Samurai". Great soundtrack.

Rock 'n' fuckin' roll, man! It's one of those movies like Dune or Mad Max 2 that needs an introduction, but this one's COOL and CONCISE. "In 1957, the bomb dropped, and the Russians took over what was America. The last bastion of freedom became a place called Lost Vegas, and Elvis was crowned King. After forty rockin' years, The King is dead. Every guitar picking, sword swinging opportunist, including Death himself, hears the call echoing across the wastelands... Vegas needs a new King."

That looks awesome! I can’t wait to watch that!
SarahTheEverlame
Excellent! And thanks for reminding me I wanted to watch this :D
