Missed about 18 or 20 from that list. [Seen This is Spinal Tap, Repo Man, Plan 9, Shawshank Redemption, Eraserhead, Stranger than Paradise,Clerks, Big Lebowski, Withnail & I, They Live, Heathers, Rushmore, Friday] - some I would watch again!

I agree on quite a lot on that list, but I'm curious - what makes a movie a cult movie? If you check their link

http://www.filmsite.org/cultfilms.html

it seems just about any old film (even blockbusters such as JAWS and STAR WARS) is possible to characterize as such. Which makes the whole concept rather meaningless.

Anders: you are probably right, a very successful movie may not be what we hear is called a cult classic.

So, this list (at least I've known people who knew of and talked about the films) seems irrelevant!
