As far as I can work out, "cult" in this thread seems to mean: "films that my generation loved that shocked my parents' generation."



I would say that films like Reservoir Dogs, Pi, Fargo and Trainspotting are all cult films
I know that they had massive promotion and big budgets, but they were aimed at people who don't normally have films aimed at them and they worked
We could argue about the meaning of cult films, but I think it would be better if we just got all nostalgic about great 90s films that weren't hollywood

Amd yet you keep naming big budget Hollywood films!
is it essential for a film to have a small budget and not be made by hollywood to be a cult film?

Labyrynth has gotta be the biggest cult film for women of a certain age, surely? I don't think I've ever met one who doesn't absolutely love it.
Buffalo 66
Office Space

Bufalo 66 would be good if it didn't have Vincent Gallo in it and he hadn't directed it
oh and if it was set in a skyscraper full of terrorists instead of a small town

It's amazing. There's a talking snail.
Come orrrrrrrrrn! It's a great film and Gallo is hilarious in it! Christina Ricci made me fall in love with her all over again watching it as well.
