I am interested in hearing:

What is your all-time favourite cult film?

Mine is Harold and Maude (1971) - two misfits who meet up at the funeral of a person neither of them know, who come from different worlds, and enrich each other's lives despite everyone around them playing the ageist card. The humour is very dark and satirical.

ah yes, anything kubrick, really--my personal favourite of his is 2001, mostly for the visuals. also, because it's probably the least depressing of his films that i've seen. :lol:

If you're interested in in-depth Kubrick analysis. This guy is the most insightful.

Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction and basically anything by Quentin Tarantino.

Oh yes, getting into Vincenzio Natali at the moment - The Cube and The Cube 2 Hypercube.

The worst? H.P. Lovecraft - Re-Animator series.

He should have never quit his night-job as a Satanist.

It was all just too 'corny' for me and I put it in the same category as Rob Zombie's offerings (he should have just stuck to music). :wall:

Trainspotting was hilarious - that's a cult film, I think.

I love Begby!
