oldtimer Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Billy Jack certainly has kitsch going for it. Nowhere near the cult status of Enter the Dragon though. Two Lane Blacktop is an interesting choice, never run into any cultish devotees for it though. I like the idea of The Man Who Fell to Earth as a candidate. Another Bowie film that might qualify somewhere is that classic with my old gal Catherine Denouve, yes, The Hunger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sputnik Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I like to think of myself as the Billy Jack of the internet. Or maybe something more like Billy Jackass...."I'm gonna take this right foot and stick it right in my mouth" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryC Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 One that probably hasn't made cult yet: What's Up Tiger Lily: http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi1089536537/ and http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061177/ The 1951 The Thing was quite a scary movie at the time: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061177/. A bit campy now, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Easy Rider was heavy when it came out, but it's like a comedy now. Times change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I've seen all these but most are not cult films. It is lacking: Island Of Lost Souls "Are we not men" The Loved One American Astronaut Russ Meyer movies John Waters movies Myra Breckenridge Bedazzled (60's version) The Party Bat P***y Skidoo Hellzapoppin Forbidden Zone Holy Mountain Three nuts in search of a bolt A clockwork orange Zardoz Sex Kittens Go To College Liquid Sky Eating Raul Performance Bubbahotep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Bubba Ho-Tep; now you're talking! The Holy Mountain; trippy old stuff. Have you seen The Magus? Similar vintage and headspace.Zardoz; what was in the water back then when they were making movies like that? Russ Meyers and John Waters; American cultural icons, well, their films, anyway. Haven't seen most of the others yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen Magus yet but I'll look it up. Holy Mountain took two viewings. I think they were all drinking the same magic water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 The Magus is from 1968 and stars Anthony Quinn in the title role. I rented The Holy Mountain just last year and it is way out there. Have you seen El Topo? I think it's the sequel to The Holy Mountain, but I haven't seen it. In a more pop vein, a couple of my favourite foreign directors from the '80s are Juzo Itami and Pedro Almodovar. Some of Itami's best are (in Japanese) Tampopo (sort of a noodle Western), A Taxing Woman (about a woman tax department agent), A Taxing Woman's Return, and The Funeral (it's a comedy, like most of his stuff). Some of Almodovar's good early films are (in Spanish) Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown; High Heels; Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down (a comedy introducing Antonio Banderas); Live Flesh (with Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz). Bigas Luna, another Spanish director, did some fun stuff like Jamon, Jamon (which features Penelope Cruz and a fight to the death with frozen hams) and Golden Balls.

cmdridq Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 It even had an explanation of Eraserhead, a movie I thought was beyond explaining. I paged through all that rubbish because of your comment. Not much of an explanation for such a freakin bizarre film. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
