Andythiing Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Welll I just borrowed from the Library and watched for the first time Fater Pussycat Kill Kill - Russ Meyer film Never heard of it before but what a hoot to watch - its now 43 years old (1965) and this really was quite groundbeaking in its own way. Made me want to find out what other classic "cult" movies I have missed out on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made me want to find out what other classic "cult" movies I have missed out on! Andy, A personal favourite of mine is 'Harold and Maude' a lovely little black comedy about a teenager who falls in love with an 80 year old woman, and share a fascination with death. All this happens to the early music of Cat Stevens. What's not to like...? Harold and Maude was a commercial failure initially, but quickly became a cult following with the youth of the time. It was voted as one of the Top 100 comedies of all time. I still love it. cheers 2sheds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2sheds Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Monty Python and the Holy Grail (made on a budget of £150,000) and Young Frankenstein - How can you go past such classic lines as: "Oh, you men are all alike. Seven or eight quick ones and then you're out with the boys to boast and brag" "My grandfather used to work for your grandfather. Of course the rates have gone up. " " No, it's pronounced "Fronkensteen." Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Igor, help me with the bags. Igor: [imitating Groucho Marx] Soitenly. You take the blonde, I'll take the one in the turban. Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: I was talking about the luggage. cheers 2sheds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andythiing Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 Have not seen either of these but they sound intersteing and from the 30's One of the biggest, best-known cult films was not intended to become so popular. It was a low-budget, government 'documentary' propaganda film from the mid-30s created to dramatize the dangers of marijuana use and demon weed - Reefer Madness (1936). However, Tod Browning's grotesque Freaks (1932), was deliberately advertised as "the strangest...most startling human story ever screened," and had alternate titles including Forbidden Love, The Monster Show, and Nature's Mistakes. It used real-life dwarfs, pinheads, and other human freaks (portraying sideshow circus performers) to present a jolting story of revenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andythiing Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 Ans this copied froma web site as well - Rock n Roll High Scholl has to be up there as a great Cult Classic! Ive got the soundtrack on LP Some cult films are music-based, such as director Rob Reiner's This is Spinal Tap (1984), a tongue-in-cheek spoof of rock documentaries, following a faux British heavy metal band's disastrous US tour; Pink Floyd: The Wall (1982), a bizarre film based on the popular rock album; Ken Russell's Tommy (1975), the Who's rock opera about a deaf, dumb, and blind kid who sure plays a 'mean pinball'; and The Blues Brothers (1980), a farcical musical comedy involving two loser musicians who resurrect their old blues band. The first of two other quintessential rock musical cult films include the transgender The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) - notable for inspiring the craze of interactive, 'midnight movie' screenings. The iconic film was essentially a trashy tale set in a mysterious castle with kinky extraterrestrial Transylvanian transvestites, two stranded young people (including an underwear-clad Susan Sarandon), and a mad scientist. The second was a rebellious teenage musical comedy Rock 'N' Roll High School (1979) that featured a rock band named The Ramones. Perry Henzell's urban-crime drama The Harder They Come (1973) with musical star Jimmy Cliff, featured a reggae soundtrack and a seamy look at poverty and crime in Jamaica.

2sheds Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) High Anxiety A classic spoof of the classic Alfred Hitchcock movies. I love the shower scene from Psycho. Actually all the Mel Brooks movies including Blazing Saddles, High Anxiety, Young Frankenstein and The Producers are great fun. cheers 2sheds Edited September 26, 2008 by 2sheds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andythiing Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 Deliverance is one that stands out from the list above for me personally. I think I only saw it for the first time about 10 years ago - and gee its a great film and still really quite unerving - something about inbreds, fiddles and moutains and cross bows that gives me the creeps. Perhaps becaue I lived in Tasmani for 3 years and it was a bit too much like the movie.:D Sorry thats a cheap shot at our Tasmanian friends - just kidding guys 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
