    What's a cult movie?

    A cult film (also known as a cult movie/picture or a cult classic) is a film that has acquired a highly devoted but specific group of fans. [ 1 ] Often, cult movies have failed to achieve fame outside of the small fanbases; however, there have been exceptions that have managed to gain fame among mainstream audiences. Many cult movies have gone on to transcend their original cult status and have become recognized as classics; others are of the "so bad it's good" variety and are destined to remain in obscurity. Cult films often become the source of a thriving, obsessive, and elaborate subculture of fandom, hence the analogy to cults. However, not every film with a rabid fanbase is necessarily a cult film. Usually, cult films have limited but very special, noted appeal. Cult films are often known to be eccentric and do not follow traditional standards of mainstream cinema and usually explore topics not considered in any way mainstream—yet there are examples that are relatively normal. They are often considered controversial because they step outside standard narrative and technical conventions known. [ 2 ]

    LOL @ Pink Flamingos. My wife loves John Watters movies. I was so disturbed by them at first, but I've become desensitized. I'm not so sure that's a good thing.

    Aww, someone beat me to Attack of the Killer Tomatos.

    There is High Strung, but good luck finding it anywhere other than bittorent.

    I'll also throw in A Scanner Darkly and Men at Work if they're not out there already.
