Everything that Gilliam's done. Brazil is my favorite film.

Everything by Cronenberg.

Most of David Lynch's work...that definitely doesn't include Dune

Braindead/Dead Alive - Screw LotR, this is Peter Jackson at his zenith.

Evil Dead, the Holy Grail of cult horror

Freaked - the movie that convinced me Alex Winter (Bill from Bill & Ted) was a genius. It's so off the wall, and Mr. T plays the bearded woman in a freak show. If that doesn't make you run to the $5 DVD bin at Wal-mart, nothing will.

And damn near every stoner flick ever made.

Saaaaay, that reminds me of a few:

 

The Stoned Age

Dazed and Confused

The Spirit of '76

Fritz the Cat

Every Cheech and Chong movie ever made

 

Kinda makes me wish I had some green to indulge in so I could watch 'em...

Aaaaaaaaaaaaah, Rocky Horror!!

Yes, I guess it would be considered the ultimate cultfilm, even though I've never seen it.

What!!!!!!

 

You've never seen Rocky Horror.

 

 

Looks like we have ourselves a virgin!!!! Make sure that when you do see it that you watch it with an audience. (Many places do it either Halloween night at Midnight (Technically Nov.1) or the Midnight Before (Technically Halloween)

I first saw Rocky Horror when I was 17 (about 5 years ago) and the first time I did the Midnight screening was my Freshman year of College. The theater at MTSU (Middle Tennessee State University) always does a screening at midnight on Halloween (Like I said technically Nov.1).

 

Unfortunatly last years screening was was a little lack-luster on campus, but there is an indipendent theater in Nashville that is screens it on Oct. 30 at midnight (Technically Halloween) and I plan on going to that one this year, as well as MTSU's.
