"Eyes

Recommended Films - Cult Favorites & Midnight Madness DVD's Part
1
One of the things about cult films is they take on there own personality.
While sometimes it is derived purely from the style of the director
other times it is just built on content that has a life of its own.
Although they seem to be easily recognizable, we believe not all viewers
recognize them purely from the titles or shelf shopping. Now keep
in mind these films run the gamut from dark comedy to offbeat horror,
so we thought only to list our personal favorites. Ones that never
get old & ones we have seen time and time again.
Side note: This list is not by all means complete, We still
have many more to add...in which will be added soon! The ones that
didn't get added,....well they might be a cult film its just it didn't
appeal to us for one reason or another. Also we believe the term "cult
film" is subjective. Like for instance "Halloween" may be a cult film
to some, but to us its just horror.

A
bit about Cult Movies
We like the classification that Wikipedia posts which sums it up.
"Cult film is a colloquial term for a film that has acquired a highly
devoted but relatively small group of fans. Often, cult movies have
failed to achieve fame outside of this small group (however, there
are a few exceptions.) Some 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 fan-base is necessarily
a cult film. The term cult film implies a certain level of obscurity,
and widely popular, mainstream movies are not considered to be cult
films." |
