Repo Man - lets hear your favourite cult movies

Sat and watch a newly released Blu-Ray version of the 80's classic Repo Man last night - I'd forgotten what an absolute gem that is, love Emilio Estevez and Harry Dean Stanton, and of course directed by the legend that is Alex Cox - remember him from Moviedrome???

So, leading on from that, lets hear some of your cult classic movies, incase I've missed any! Here's a few that spring to mind, representing a few different genres and decades:

Paris Texas
Evil Dead 11
The Hunger
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Scanners
Videodrome
Freaks - 1932
Scarface
Clerks
Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence
Withnail and I
Big Lebowski
Machette





If you're not living life on the edge you're taking up too much room.

I love films

Far too many to list and I'm not sure if all of these are what you would call 'cult' but

The Good The Bad and the Ugly
Fist full of Dollars
A few Dollars More

In fact most Clint Eastwood films (not paint your wagon obviously)

Most Quentin Tarantino stuff Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill, Jackie Brown was genius

The Secretary

All the Alien films

Matrix - mainly the first one

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo films - the original ones with subtitles

The Battle of Britain

French connection

Gone in 60 seconds

I watched all of the Harry Potter films in order over Christmas

Get Carter, the original is the only cult film I like.
O Brother Where Art Thou ? always makes me grin and any of the Pirates of the Caribbean

French Connection and Brazil if they qualify as well.

I'm votin' for yours truly, you two are dumber than a bag of hammers, Singin' into the can, Pappy O'Dan'l flour hour, and the fact that it is based on A Greek classic Homer's The Odyssey all make it my favourite ever movie.

Top choices! Allthough I would swap Life of Brian for The Holy Grail, which IMO is the best MP movie.

As no one has mentioned it .........

Taxi1
Taxi2
You can only include Taxi3 if you loved the first two as its poor.

Note - this is Taxi the french subtitled movie. It is not the American remake, nor is it the Al Pacino version.

One flew over the cookoo's nest.
The italian job
Star Wars (4)

probably lots of others but i can never remember them when i'm asked.

I am a bit surprised "Full Metal Jacket" hasn't been nominated by anybody yet.
