Hmmmmm... define cult. I don't think it means (necessarily) blood and gore. Does it mean a movie that you've seen over and over and you never mind watching it again (and again)?

Pink Flamingos
Un Chien Andalou
Reefer Madness
Kentucky Fried Movie
The Groove Tube
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension a/k/a/ Buckaroo Banzai
The King of Hearts
Repo Man (ditto)
Brazil
My Dinner with Andre
Amelie
The Princess Bride
Nosferatu
Apocalypse Now
The Fly (ditto) (both versions)
Dazed and Confused
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Deep Throat
Behind the Green Door

.... man the list keeps going on and on.

Surely a cult movie isn't one that you love to see over and over - but one around which a cult following has developed for some reason. For instance "The Rocky Horror Show" with screenings where people arrive dressed as the characters - or something like "Plan Nine From Outer Space" which has many followers simply because it is wholly dreadful.

[Stavros]

Prospero's definition is exact, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show fits the description more than most -Star Trek has a cult following even if no single film can be labelled a cult film but I might be wrong on that -apparently there are more then 300,000 people in the UK who claim Jedi as their religion...and you thought Scientology was bonkers?

Dark Star had a 'cult' following in the 1970s, that is, it was an obscure film that after disappearing from mainstream cinemas appeared in the 'repertory cinemas' London had in the 70s and 80s where people like me first saw all the classics -the point is people would say 'You haven't seen Dark Star? Wow, man...you need to see it!'....etc Great days!
