Best Cult Films...

Well, the Crusty Curmudgeon's posted another list, so of course I have to put up my version of it. This time it's coming from Entertainment Weekly's list of the 61 Top 50 Cult Films (don't ask me, I just pass it along). I've emboldended the one's I've seen...

1. This Is Spinal Tap
   
2. The Rocky Horror Picture Show
   
3. Freaks
   
4. Harold And Maude--disturbing movie. Really good, but disturbing. Loved the kid's car!
   
5. Pink Flamingos
   
6. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
   
7. Repo Man
   
8. Scarface
   
9. Blade Runner--Ridley Scott's best. Maybe Harrison Ford's best. Definately Sean Young and Darryl Hannah's best.
   
10. The Shawshank Redemption--good film.
    
11. Five Deadly Venoms
    
12. Plan 9 From Outer Space--oh the humanity!!
    
13. Brazil
    
14. Eraserhead
    
15. Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!
    
16. The Warriors
    
17. Dazed And Confused--how this made the list without any others of Linklater's, I don't know. But this was a great one.
    
18. Hard-Boiled
    
19. Evil Dead II
    
20. The Mack
    
21. Pee-Wee's Big Adventure--only remember the dance scene in the biker bar. Never really got into this character
    
22. Un Chien Andalou--saw this in my film class, just what you'd expect to see out of a film made by Dali. That razor cutting the eye thing gave me some major willies
    
23. Akira--not bad...the best anime I've ever seen (which isn't saying much)
    
24. The Toxic Avenger
    
25. Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory
    
26. Stranger Than Paradise
    
27. Dawn Of The Dead
    
28. The Wiz
    
29. Clerks--just got the 10th anniversary edition of this on DVD, can't wait to watch it. Don't know how many times I've seen this thing (2 times in the theater, which in college was a huuuge extravagance)
    
30. The Harder They Come
    
31. Slap Shot
    
32. Re-Animator
    
33. Grey Gardens

50. Faces of Death, Vol. 1--Vol 1, Vol3, Vol 4, Vol 5 (the last two were really, really stupid--saw a midnight showing of one of those, fell asleep in the theater)
    
51. Monty Python and the Holy Grail--just waiting 'til my boys are old enough to watch this with me. Can't wait 'til they start annoying their mother by quoting it.
    
52. A Clockwork Orange
    
53. Mommie Dearest
    
54. The Princess Bride--loved the movie, loved the book even more.

56. UHF--Weird Al, Victoria Jackson, that Michael Richards guy...who could ask for more?

58. Fight Club--Nietzsche on film. The first 15 minutes absolutely blew me away...rest was okay.
    
59. Dead Alive (aka Braindead)
    
60. Better Off Dead--loved this movie, watch it whenever I find it on cable--don't care at what point I come in on it, have to watch the rest.
    
61. Donnie Darko

19/61. Must admit I expected a higher number.
