Cult Classics

I'm a HUGE fan of cult, exploitation and low budget horror! The weirder the better! It doesn't exactly jive with my feminist morals, but I've adored Women in Prison movies since I was a young girl. All the hot girl on girl action and the inevitable riot when the women rise up and defeat their opressors!

I haven't seen The Devil's Carnival yet but I love all the other movie you listed. Have you seen Mutant Girls Squad? I recently watched it and it was FAB! Norwegian Ninja is another great flick I recently saw, AMAZING!

 

What about This Is Spinal Tap? Does that count?

 

Cannibal Holocaust will always be one of the most terrifying movies Ive ever seen, Id consider that a cult classic.
Dead Man, does that count? Brilliant movie which many friends of mine have not heard about.

In general two of my favorite genres of film are documentaries and silent era films, so Im used to going on about movies which my friends havent heard about and think im nuts for loving so much )

 

Haha well if we include the silents, then Metropolis. One of the greatest movies ever made. A lot of the german horror films of that era are incredible, but largely forgotten.

 

I <3 Metropolis.

DollaStoreSushi, I'd love a list of some of those silent German horror flicks. I loved Nosferatu and The Cabinet of Docotor Caligara and I'd love to see more movies in that genre!

Have you seen a movie called Dr. Calgari that was made in the late 80s early 90s? Incredibly strange flick, very worth seeing.

 

Ive never seen that, no. Sounds interesting though. The expressionist horror films I was thinking of are pretty much the ones you mention. The Golem is one id add to that. The Hands of Orlac. Genuine. (all on youtube)
Not exactly a horror, more of a pyschological horror, is The Blue Angel. Not a silent either, but still a good Weimar era film.

 

Yeah, Alien(s) and Silence of the Lambs were both great movies. I haven't seen (or even heard of!) Cutting Moments but I'll add it to my To See list! Bug, starring Ashley Judd is a great psychological thriller/horror movie that deals with an abused woman, I HIGHLY recommend it.

May was brilliant! It has a sort of companion film called Roman that deals with similar subject manner and starred the guy that directed May while being directed by the girl that stars in May. It's kind of the Yang to May's Yin.

Woot! Cult film nerdery! (!)

I'll definitely be checking YouTube of those! Thanks!

 

Hedwig and the Angry Inch count, Plan 9 From Outer Space, Rocky Horror, Evil Dead 1 & 2, and Army of Darkness.

I also liked Metropolis.

 

All of the movies that you listed here, besides Boxing, are some of my favorite movies. Especially Repo, which is my favorite movie of all time.

 

Children at Play and Dolls are the only ones I can think of at the moment

 

Only if Stop Making Sense can, too. I don't see any tv shows, so, Freaks and Geeks! It has Seth Rogen, James Franco and Jason Segal.

 

I love George A. Romero movies. Most of his films are independent. He made the zombie for God sakes!

 

What about Human Centipede? GOD that's all think I can think about now that movie is so sick. And then there's the sequel.. Ugh

And Clockwork Orange like mentioned, I have friends who want me to watch that.

 

The Misfits are awesome (once your singer has become known as the Elvis of punk, you're doing well). I'm pretty sure that Where Eagles Dare is a Maiden tune, though - it's on Piece of Mind. Might be a cover.

 

It's originally a Misfits song. They recorded it in 1979.
