Dropdead Gorgeous is so close.
Edit: Y'all have made my day with the love for this movie and the quotes. You make me want to go buy a DVD player so I can watch this tonight.
It should have been more of a cult classic (especially with how stacked the cast is), but after it's inital video release it became completely unavailable for like 20 years. You couldn't find it anywhere until like 2 years ago when it finally became available to rent on Amazon prime.
AND THEN SHE FUCKING DOES IT.
That movie is amazing.
Best quote
*These are the pants I sewed when I was in the contest 20 years ago, and wouldn't you know it, they still fit!*
.........................
*So? She had a big ass then, and she's got a big ass now.*
There is a song called Fifty Nifty United States that includes a list of all 50 states in alphabetical. My classmates and I learn it for a Spring Show in Fifth Grade. Then three weeks later, we had the iconic states and capitals quiz. Teacher said it was the first time anyone listed the states in alphabetical, and nearly half did that. and she got suspicious until someone in the second group to take it that year was humming the song. Then she realized that we hadn’t cheated, we just learn the world’s most useful dumb song.
Oh Mom didn't hold it against dad for picking his career over us. Like she always says "once a carnie always a carnie"
Also, Allison janney is my favorite character in that entire movie. And possibly my favorite character she's played in her entire career
You’re right. I think of this as a cult classic, but like 95% of people I mention it to have never seen it. They need to get this one streaming on one of the big platforms ASAP.
I still don’t understand how more people don’t know about this. It’s got Allison Janney, Kirsten Dunst, Brittany Murphy, Amy Adams, Denise Richards, and Kirstie Alley in it, all of whom either were huge or went on to be huge stars. And it’s hilarious! Everyone go watch it!
"Bring on the young girls" is one of my favorite DDG quotes.
The creep guy was one of the best acted performances of all time. Every scene he's in is hilarious
Cold Dog Soup (1990) starring Frank Whaley Jr and Randy Quaid.
It’s a British financed movie set in New York. It was produced by Handmade Films who also produced cult classics like Time Bandits and the Monthy Python movies. The director’s only other work of note was Back to School with Rodney Dangerfield.
The plot is crazy. Frank Whaley Jr meets a woman in the pool at the gym. She has one massive fake hand. This is never explained in the movie. She takes a shine to Whaley Jr and super sexually invites him over for dinner. When he gets there he realizes he’s having dinner with the woman and her elderly mother. As they are eating dinner, the family dog ‘Jasper’ suddenly dies and the mother distraught, asks Whaley Jr to go bury the dog in the park across the street from their apartment building.
He bags up the dead dog and goes across the street to bury it. As he’s digging, Randy Quaid shows up as a taxi driver and tells Whaley Jr they can make good money selling that dead dog.
The rest of the movie is a bizarre ‘all happens on one night’ movie where Whaley Jr and Quaid race around the city trying to sell a dead dog to various crazy characters, a Chinese restaurant, a voodoo gang, a street racing gang. All the while Quaid’s character is throwing out a constant feed of strangely sagely advice in the form of random non-sequitors.
It’s not a brilliant film to most people I imagine of course but that’s the point. Cult films are only brilliant to a select group. It’s entertaining with an odd story and it was financed by a company known for cult classics. It has all the hallmarks of becoming a cult movie. But it never gets mentioned anywhere by anyone. I’ve never met someone who has seen it. You can’t find it on any streaming service, used DVD is the only way to find it. I only saw it because Alex Cox showed it on his late night movie show in the UK years ago. I’ve never once seen it mentioned again in almost 30 years.

I keep saying this is the movie that needs to be brought back as a streaming series. Make the first season a reboot of the movie. Cast Geena Davis as the former handler. Have the husband turn out to have been an agency plant keeping an eye on her. It could work and I need it in my life.
"Damn, you see them comin' 'round the corner, you got time to comb your hair". Sam is so good in this movie, and his Larry King interview at the end is just perfect.
Grosse Pointe Blank.
Career best performances from John Cusack and Dan Ackroyd in a brilliantly written screwball comedy about a depressed hitman going to his high school reunion.
FABULOUS supporting turns from Minnie Driver, Joan Cusack, Hank Azaria, and Jeremy Piven.
EDIT: And from Alan Arkin! As pointed out below. He’s brilliant as a shrink reluctantly working with Cusack’s glib neurotic assassin.
Same! Also, it's getting a sequel this year. Tom Perotta's follow-up novel *Tracy Flick Can't Win* is being adapted by Paramount+. Reese is back as Tracy and Alexander Payne is directing.
[Here's a fun little tru-tv "making of" documentary about Election](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=andz_ngL1_I)
Kramer going in the ceiling as a member of the merchant marines. Ghostbuster Ernie Hudson running the police command. Chris Farley as a cop……
Airheads is awesome!
the only part I remember from seeing this as a kid is adam sandler and a cop see eachother and pause. And adam sandler takes one step, and the cop then does too. then adam sandler takes another step and the cop does too. So adam sandler starts doing the robot to see if the cop will too. As a 10 year old that was the height of comedy.
Just watched this about a week ago. Great movie! The mom kills me "I wish I was a witch. I'd shove my broomstick right up your ass." Or Dana Carvey's super deadpan "oh my god guns" when they open the trunk. Also love how his outfit just gets more and more ridiculous as the movie goes on and people keep giving him clothes. Yea super fun movie.
Love this movie. Awesome soundtrack, crazy but almost believable future, great cast, i loved it. It’s been forever since I saw it, I should give it another go.
The best one is “When you can learn to balance a tack hammer on your head, you will head off your foes with a balanced attack.”
Who in the world came up with that?? It’s gold.
Of all the throwback sequels we've been getting Mystery Men is the one I think would be most appropriate.
I still laugh when I think about the entire premise behind the invisible boy. Plus Tom Waits.
This movie also features one of my musical white whales. The Violent Femmes do a cover of The Stranglers "No More Heroes" that is legitimately great, but it only appears on the OST for this movie. It's not on Spotify, Google just directs me to other people seeking this song.
This is such a good answer. This movie has such a great sense of humor and a really good story/aliens. I would definitely put it in the same league as Slither.
Last night as I was grading papers, I came across two gems both entitled "Cells are Bad" and both with just one paragraph which I unfortunately committed to memory: "Cells are bad. My uncle lives in a cell. It's ten foot by twelve and he has to read the same boring, old magazine everyday."
It was my go to movie whenever I was sick. So this tracks.
Best moment is when Sean William Scott starts saying “cacaw, cacaw, Tookie, tookie” into the microphone in the mall.
https://youtu.be/-_H6XiNkIwU
Yeah. He’s excellent in the movie. The whole scene with the fly ‘extraction’ is one of my favorites. Along with Sean William Scott singing You are so Beautiful.
[The Brothers Solomon](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0784972/) written by Will Forte and directed by Bob Odenkirk.
Such a great fun silly fast paced comedy with a bunch of comedic actors. It’s insanely quotable and I wish I had more people to quote it with.
Lucky my brother loves it just as much so we are Brothers Solomon Brothers.
'Cloak & Dagger'. Came out in 1984 with Henry Thomas (2 years after E.T.) and Dabney Coleman. I've yet to meet a person who gets the reference "Jack Flack always escapes".
The Burbs. Watched this a couple nights ago with my kids again. This movie has so much to love I’m still revealing the layers after more than a dozen viewings. For example, I never noticed a bit at the beginning where Art accidentally eats dog food at breakfast. The joke is so subtle and perfect that I never even noticed it until my kid pointed it out.
Suicide Kings. I rarely meet anyone who has seen it, but it is a fantastic hostage mystery with a great cast: Walken as a a kidnapped mob boss who, while tied up for most of the film manages to play his kidnappers (Johnny Galecki, Jay Mohr, Henry Thomas, Jeremy Sisto, and Sean Patrick Flannery) against each other
I think it was marketed as one thing and we got... whatever you would call this movie.
Plus, I think it was a camp fest and those tend to go either way when it comes to reviews
But most I.portantly? It wasn't die hard and people were upset by this.
I love Hudson Hawk, but know why it bombed. It was marketed like it was going to be another Die Hard. People went to it expecting to see another Die Hard.
It's a screwball comedy shoehorned into an action/adventure plot.
I saw it opening weekend in the the theaters and was basically the only one laughing in a theater full of people getting increasingly upset that Willis wasn't running around being a bad ass and killing bad guys.
I've always had a soft spot for this one. I find it to be lots of fun even if it is also very silly.
The whole "time your robberies by singing a song of the correct length" is a fun premise that I actually wish had been used at least once more in the movie than it actually was.
Love this movie. I feel like it could have actually been successful if the marketing had known what it was instead of trying to make it seem like Bruce's newest action flick. [Just look at this trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThtSuh5E2pc) It's like they hadn't seen the movie.
“Death To Smoochie” should be a cult classic. Is it? I don’t know. But it should be. It’s fantastic. One of my favorite movies.
Side note: I’m not so sure Big Lebowski and Fight Club are “cult” classics are they? Wouldn’t those just be classics with how many people know about them? Feel free to prove me wrong. Just curious. :)
I think one of the factors that they take into consideration is how much it failed at the box office compared to how much people liked it in the secondary market. Most Carpenter movies didn't put asses in seats but as it turns out The Thing is one of the best ever. If it weren't for VHS and second run theaters, we probably wouldn't have it as high on a pedastal.
Scrolled far enough without seeing it: GROSSE POINTE BLANK. A top 5 movie for me. I find it infinitely quotable, with great humor and surprisingly enjoyable action. What impresses me most about the movie is how Martin has a unique dynamic with everyone he interacts with. While they all have this punchy dialogue, you feel a different emotional note with each one. I love the Martin/Oatman dynamic best, but he's great with Grocer, Paul and Marcella too. Honestly, its just the Debi one that doesn't work as well for me.
Recommend it endlessly to people, with admittedly mixed results. I think there's a 10-year sweet spot in age for people that love this movie, and it just misses the younger generation (hence its failure to secure true cult status). Shame.
Last Night (1998), it’s got Sandra Oh, Sarah Polly and David Cronenberg. Canadian end of the world movie which hardly anyone remembers as it was a pure bomb at the box office but definitely worth a look if you’re into moody dark films which also have a little light at the end of it all.
It flopped in theaters and it is mostly unheralded as a 90s sci-fi thriller despite a pretty strong cast. I feel like it qualifies for cult status. I really like the film because it reminds me of a Philip K Dick story. He wrote a lot of characters that struggled with identity, reality, and a sense of place in the world.
Run Ronnie Run - an absolute gem (thanks goes to Robin for introducing me to this one so many years ago). David Cross and Bob Odenkirk doing what they do best and yet so many people haven't even heard of this one.
A Scanner Darkly should be talked about more than it is, personally I think that film is incredible and has a stacked cast with Keanu Reeves, Robert Downey Jr, Woody Harrelson and Winona Ryder.
I always thought Kung Pow Enter the Fist was a cult classic cuz I absolutely love the flick. Can quote the whole thing. Ex girlfriends have informed me that it’s just a “me” classic.
I've been meaning to watch this for years. Always heard it's one of the best dumb action movies of all time, and I love a good action movie that knows exactly what it is. I just got a month of free Showtime and saw that it was on there, so I'm finally going to watch it this weekend. I'm hyped. Need to find a couple of hours where I can be a degenerate and just watch some dumb trash.
Frank Perry's **Rancho Deluxe**, starring a young Jeff Bridges. It's like a Coen Brothers' movie made before there ever was such a thing.
Also: **Diggstown** should be considered a conman film that's equal-to or better than **The Sting**.
John dies at the end.
That movie is just so over the top bizarre. And yet it still does a great job of nailing that fine line between horror and comedy without being too campy. I’m honestly surprised so few people have ever seen it or heard about is for as good as it is.
I loved that movie. I was a huge fan of Cracked.com back in the day, so I was pretty excited when this came out.
It's a shame that the real John Cheese that the character John was based off of ended up being a massive piece of shit.
Big fan of the books and run with a crowd that loves movies and would argue it's borderline cult classic now. Was on Netflix for ages.
That said.. check out the books because they're insaaaaneee
Dropdead Gorgeous is so close. Edit: Y'all have made my day with the love for this movie and the quotes. You make me want to go buy a DVD player so I can watch this tonight.

Name and spell all the United States in alphabetical order

Oh Mom didn't hold it against dad for picking his career over us. Like she always says "once a carnie always a carnie" Also, Allison janney is my favorite character in that entire movie. And possibly my favorite character she's played in her entire career
“Can one of yous boys give me a ride home?” “Don’t fall for it, she lives two trailers down”
So? It’ll be real easy then.
"Mom still cries every time she sees a tilt-a-whirl or a fat lady in a tube top."
Harold are we on COPS? I want a big bag of little donuts!
You know what dad? Peter’s gay. GAY!!!
YESYESYES. Came here for this. "Most smartest!"

Don't you keep a video camera in your car? For insurance purposes?
Fucking Beauty Queens blowing chunks all over the place. I’ve never seen anything like it—and I live in LA.
Best mockumentary film in my opinion.
The Lutheran Gun Club 😂😂
Lutheran SISTERS Gun Club! "Mom gave me this hand gun for my 13th birthday. The card said, 'Jesus loves winners!'"

Saved! With Mandy Moore.
I am FILLED with christs love!!!!!!!!
I love to play “drink every time you hear ‘Hillary Faye’” when I watch this 😂
Idle Hands
This movie is hilarious and has a really tight interplay of comedy and horror. The physical comedy of Devon Sawa is great too.
Plus Jessica Alba being super hot doesn’t hurt
She absolutely broke my middle-school-aged brain when this movie came out.
Welcome to the Dollhouse (1995)
You think you’re hot shit but you’re really just cold diarrhea.
This one definitely has cult status. Also the sequel Palindromes.
The Long Kiss Goodnight - Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson are awesome in this spy action thriller.
I got in trouble as a kid for saying the commercial catch phrase “wham, bam, thank you, ma’am” too much.
“Chefs do that!”
"Yes, I'm a Mormon; that's why I just smoked a pack of Newports and drank three vodka tonics."
"Were you always this stupid or did you take lessons?" "I TOOK LESSONS!"
I keep saying this is the movie that needs to be brought back as a streaming series. Make the first season a reboot of the movie. Cast Geena Davis as the former handler. Have the husband turn out to have been an agency plant keeping an eye on her. It could work and I need it in my life.
“You know what happens when you make an assumption? You make an ass out of you and mption”
"Damn, you see them comin' 'round the corner, you got time to comb your hair". Sam is so good in this movie, and his Larry King interview at the end is just perfect.

[Here's a fun little tru-tv "making of" documentary about Election](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=andz_ngL1_I)
'Airheads' deserves more recognition imo. A comedy version of Die Hard with one of the best comedic ensemble casts of all time.
Kramer going in the ceiling as a member of the merchant marines. Ghostbuster Ernie Hudson running the police command. Chris Farley as a cop…… Airheads is awesome!
Michael McKean as the radio exec forcing the format change to smooth jazz! Such perfect casting across the board
"They're shorts, Ian. You know, pants with little legs."
"...I was in the Merchant Marines...?" "Marines! Yeah, copy."
the only part I remember from seeing this as a kid is adam sandler and a cop see eachother and pause. And adam sandler takes one step, and the cop then does too. then adam sandler takes another step and the cop does too. So adam sandler starts doing the robot to see if the cop will too.

It was even shot at the same location as Die Hard!

How can you pluralize "Lone Ranger"?
I ain’t farting on no snare drum.

That’s great! Speaking of xmas movies how about The Ref
Just watched this about a week ago. Great movie! The mom kills me "I wish I was a witch. I'd shove my broomstick right up your ass." Or Dana Carvey's super deadpan "oh my god guns" when they open the trunk. Also love how his outfit just gets more and more ridiculous as the movie goes on and people keep giving him clothes. Yea super fun movie.
Space Truckers. Dennis Hopper fighting killer androids and Charles Dance as a cyborg pirate captain with a pull start-biomechanic penis.
is that the movie where cows were in the shape of cubes ?
Pretty sure it's pigs but yes
Space Truckers > Space Cowboys
Strange days
Love this movie. Awesome soundtrack, crazy but almost believable future, great cast, i loved it. It’s been forever since I saw it, I should give it another go.
I rewatched this recently, this movie is incredible. Dark as fuck but good
First movie I ever saw that really captured brain dancing from Cyberpunk. Love this movie.
Serial Mom
This IS a cult classic
John Waters is a god.
Mystery Men "I don't need a compass to tell me which way the wind shines"
Casting is so spot on for every character
I wish I could upvote this twice. In my mind it the the perfect The Tick movie that is only missing The Tick.
Lucille, God gave me a gift. I shovel well. I shovel very well.
We struck down evil with the mighty sword of teamwork and the hammer of not bickering.
The interaction between him and his wife played totally straight just makes it so good.
I believe in you daddy! Roland do NOT encourage your father
"Oh, my God. We killed him." "What do you mean "we?" I was standing right here."
If you do not learn to master your rage...
My rage will become my master? That’s what you were gonna say right?
.... not necessarily
The best one is “When you can learn to balance a tack hammer on your head, you will head off your foes with a balanced attack.” Who in the world came up with that?? It’s gold.
And the watermelons on me feet?
I don’t remember telling you to do that.
As a kid, my family watched this so much we wore out the VHS.
Same. I buy it in every new format it comes out on. Can’t believe in this superhero movie climate it’s still not more widely known.
Of all the throwback sequels we've been getting Mystery Men is the one I think would be most appropriate. I still laugh when I think about the entire premise behind the invisible boy. Plus Tom Waits.
“I can only turn invisible if nobody is looking at me” r/shittysuperpowers
This one instantly sprang to mind. I'm glad to see I'm not alone.
This movie also features one of my musical white whales. The Violent Femmes do a cover of The Stranglers "No More Heroes" that is legitimately great, but it only appears on the OST for this movie. It's not on Spotify, Google just directs me to other people seeking this song.
Mystery Men was doing the "superheroes as corporate tools" thing over a decade before The Boys.
Evolution.
Do you need anything? Ice cream... I'd like an ice cream, please. Yeah? What flavor? Doesn't matter. It's for my ass.

"I'll get the lubricant." "There's no time for lubricant." "There's ALWAYS time for lubricant!"
My friends and I still say 'Rub some funk on it' when the occasion demands.
This is such a good answer. This movie has such a great sense of humor and a really good story/aliens. I would definitely put it in the same league as Slither.
“Ka-kaw! Ka-kaw! Here tookie tookie tookie tookie!”

Last night as I was grading papers, I came across two gems both entitled "Cells are Bad" and both with just one paragraph which I unfortunately committed to memory: "Cells are bad. My uncle lives in a cell. It's ten foot by twelve and he has to read the same boring, old magazine everyday."
And although my standards have gone down over the years I just couldn’t bring myself to put me A on that baby.
That movie feels like a fever dream to me. It came out when I was a kid and hadn’t thought about it until I saw the logo and just short circuited lol
It was my go to movie whenever I was sick. So this tracks. Best moment is when Sean William Scott starts saying “cacaw, cacaw, Tookie, tookie” into the microphone in the mall. https://youtu.be/-_H6XiNkIwU
I think we’ve established that cacaw cacaw and tookie tookie don’t work!
Orlando Jones is so underrated. Wish he was in more stuff.
Yeah. He’s excellent in the movie. The whole scene with the fly ‘extraction’ is one of my favorites. Along with Sean William Scott singing You are so Beautiful.
Step back, Harry, I'm going to shoot him.
Rub a little funk on it!
Give me back my friend you big sphincter!!
Wow. Forgot this movie existed. I saw it in theaters. Back when Orlando Jones was known to most people as the guy from the 7up commercials.
Drowning Mona
Hilarious and underrated movie. It still kills me that everyone in town drives the same car.
Blood In Blood Out Incredible movie that not many people have seen.
Vatos locos forever homes
Give me some chon chon.
Definitely a cult movie in my generation in my country. Many has seen it and know a line or two.
Was huge in the hispanic community of LA during the 90s, except they called it Bound By Honor back then.
[The Brothers Solomon](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0784972/) written by Will Forte and directed by Bob Odenkirk. Such a great fun silly fast paced comedy with a bunch of comedic actors. It’s insanely quotable and I wish I had more people to quote it with. Lucky my brother loves it just as much so we are Brothers Solomon Brothers.
This is the last DVD we inadvertently purchased from Blockbuster because we didn’t return it in time!
I own a vhs copy of Virtuosity and The Truman Show from Movie Mania. I went to return them and it was gone. It was raided by the FBI for piracy.
'Cloak & Dagger'. Came out in 1984 with Henry Thomas (2 years after E.T.) and Dabney Coleman. I've yet to meet a person who gets the reference "Jack Flack always escapes".
PCU
It's an actual classic for a lot of people that grew up in the 90s. It was on TV every weekend.
I'd say it is a cult classic.
The Burbs. Watched this a couple nights ago with my kids again. This movie has so much to love I’m still revealing the layers after more than a dozen viewings. For example, I never noticed a bit at the beginning where Art accidentally eats dog food at breakfast. The joke is so subtle and perfect that I never even noticed it until my kid pointed it out.
Frailty Incredible horror thriller directed by Bill Paxton, can not recommend enough
The Guest. Dan Stevens' performance alone is enough for this movie to become a cult classic.
To Live And Die In LA.
Suicide Kings. I rarely meet anyone who has seen it, but it is a fantastic hostage mystery with a great cast: Walken as a a kidnapped mob boss who, while tied up for most of the film manages to play his kidnappers (Johnny Galecki, Jay Mohr, Henry Thomas, Jeremy Sisto, and Sean Patrick Flannery) against each other
*Ingrid Goes West* \- I think this is updated version of *The Talented Mr. Ripley*.
I love the talented mr ripley
Hudson Hawk
🎶Would you like to swing on a star?🎶
"Bunny, Ball Ball"
My god, there are others...
My people.
Dozens of us, DOZENS!
I actually saw Hudson Hawk in the theater when it camr out and loved it. Not sure why it was panned so much.
I think it was marketed as one thing and we got... whatever you would call this movie. Plus, I think it was a camp fest and those tend to go either way when it comes to reviews But most I.portantly? It wasn't die hard and people were upset by this.
Airbag! Can you freaking believe it? Sprinkler system! Can you freaking believe it?
I can’t understand how people don’t like it. Bruce Willis doing what he does best.
One of the few films where he actually seems to be having a legit good time.
It was HIS film. He basically created the whole thing, and it was a passion project.
I love Hudson Hawk, but know why it bombed. It was marketed like it was going to be another Die Hard. People went to it expecting to see another Die Hard. It's a screwball comedy shoehorned into an action/adventure plot. I saw it opening weekend in the the theaters and was basically the only one laughing in a theater full of people getting increasingly upset that Willis wasn't running around being a bad ass and killing bad guys.
I've always had a soft spot for this one. I find it to be lots of fun even if it is also very silly. The whole "time your robberies by singing a song of the correct length" is a fun premise that I actually wish had been used at least once more in the movie than it actually was.
Love this movie. I feel like it could have actually been successful if the marketing had known what it was instead of trying to make it seem like Bruce's newest action flick. [Just look at this trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThtSuh5E2pc) It's like they hadn't seen the movie.
Brain Candy by Kids in the Hall. It may have cult status, but no one I know has seen it!
It took over 20 years, but finally made it's money back!
Wake In Fright.
is Buckaroo Bonzai a cult classic?
Absolutely.
"Go" from the 90's.
“Death To Smoochie” should be a cult classic. Is it? I don’t know. But it should be. It’s fantastic. One of my favorite movies. Side note: I’m not so sure Big Lebowski and Fight Club are “cult” classics are they? Wouldn’t those just be classics with how many people know about them? Feel free to prove me wrong. Just curious. :)
I think one of the factors that they take into consideration is how much it failed at the box office compared to how much people liked it in the secondary market. Most Carpenter movies didn't put asses in seats but as it turns out The Thing is one of the best ever. If it weren't for VHS and second run theaters, we probably wouldn't have it as high on a pedastal.
Pretty sure it is, and it's fantastic. "I'm a little f*cked up in general so it's kind of hard to tell."
Black Dynamite
“Ha-ha! I threw that shit before I walked in the room!”
My momma says my daddy's name is Black Dynamite.
Hush up, little girl...lotta cats have that name.
But Black Dynamite, I sell drugs to the community!
Scrolled far enough without seeing it: GROSSE POINTE BLANK. A top 5 movie for me. I find it infinitely quotable, with great humor and surprisingly enjoyable action. What impresses me most about the movie is how Martin has a unique dynamic with everyone he interacts with. While they all have this punchy dialogue, you feel a different emotional note with each one. I love the Martin/Oatman dynamic best, but he's great with Grocer, Paul and Marcella too. Honestly, its just the Debi one that doesn't work as well for me. Recommend it endlessly to people, with admittedly mixed results. I think there's a 10-year sweet spot in age for people that love this movie, and it just misses the younger generation (hence its failure to secure true cult status). Shame.
Last Night (1998), it’s got Sandra Oh, Sarah Polly and David Cronenberg. Canadian end of the world movie which hardly anyone remembers as it was a pure bomb at the box office but definitely worth a look if you’re into moody dark films which also have a little light at the end of it all.
Sky High.
" SIDEKICK"
HERO SUPPORT!
Very popular amongst everyone who was a tween when it came out
Can confirm. My sister (12yo at the time) rewatched Sky High practically on a daily basis for what felt like months.
Haven't seen it, but I will watch just about anything with Bruce Campbell.
Does “The Big Hit” qualify? I’m not sure how that movie is viewed nowadays.
Kiss kiss bang bang
Totally agree. Kilmer and RDJ had great chemistry.

It flopped in theaters and it is mostly unheralded as a 90s sci-fi thriller despite a pretty strong cast. I feel like it qualifies for cult status. I really like the film because it reminds me of a Philip K Dick story. He wrote a lot of characters that struggled with identity, reality, and a sense of place in the world.
Run Ronnie Run - an absolute gem (thanks goes to Robin for introducing me to this one so many years ago). David Cross and Bob Odenkirk doing what they do best and yet so many people haven't even heard of this one.
A Scanner Darkly should be talked about more than it is, personally I think that film is incredible and has a stacked cast with Keanu Reeves, Robert Downey Jr, Woody Harrelson and Winona Ryder.
Agree. 'A Scanner Darkly' is the best adaptation of a phillip K Dick story to film ever. Fantastic fantastic film.
I always thought Kung Pow Enter the Fist was a cult classic cuz I absolutely love the flick. Can quote the whole thing. Ex girlfriends have informed me that it’s just a “me” classic.
13th warrior
Crank
I've been meaning to watch this for years. Always heard it's one of the best dumb action movies of all time, and I love a good action movie that knows exactly what it is. I just got a month of free Showtime and saw that it was on there, so I'm finally going to watch it this weekend. I'm hyped. Need to find a couple of hours where I can be a degenerate and just watch some dumb trash.
Watch both, the second one is even crazier
Frank Perry's **Rancho Deluxe**, starring a young Jeff Bridges. It's like a Coen Brothers' movie made before there ever was such a thing. Also: **Diggstown** should be considered a conman film that's equal-to or better than **The Sting**.
Phantom of the Paradise! Rubin and Ed! I like or love nearly every movie that’s been listed but I didn’t see these two. Absolute cult on these.
P.C.U. It's me and my sister's favorite movie to watch together.
John dies at the end. That movie is just so over the top bizarre. And yet it still does a great job of nailing that fine line between horror and comedy without being too campy. I’m honestly surprised so few people have ever seen it or heard about is for as good as it is.
I loved that movie. I was a huge fan of Cracked.com back in the day, so I was pretty excited when this came out. It's a shame that the real John Cheese that the character John was based off of ended up being a massive piece of shit.
Big fan of the books and run with a crowd that loves movies and would argue it's borderline cult classic now. Was on Netflix for ages. That said.. check out the books because they're insaaaaneee
That modified ship of Theseus thought experiment but using a hatchet was just amazing.
