We're all familiar with movies such as Plan 9 From Outer Space and Rocky Horror Picture Show that have a widespread cult following. How about ones that seem to have a particular following here at the Lounge? These movies are the ones frequently quoted and referenced in different posts and threads. Here are the ones that immediately come to mind:
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
Austin Powers
The Outlaw Josie Wales
Scarface
Are there any others?

I suppose The Big Lebowski, Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas and Fight Club are three mainstream modern films that come to mind.
There are an endless number of actual cult films, however. Anyone ever seen The Room by Tommy Wiseau? Probably one of the worst films ever made, but enjoys some kind of cult status.

Hi
How are you defining "cult film" with respect to the lounge? In some ways, I'd guess that any Bogart film would be on the list. Mulholland Falls, LA Confidential, and the Indy films too.

Groucho Marx said it best:

John Carpenter's "The Thing " seems to be loved by many here.
Quite a few people here love The Night of the Hunter with Mother Mitchum. I don't know why, I hated it!

My ultimate classic 'cult' film: It's a Wonderful Life, followed very closely by It Happened One Night and Bad Day at Black Rock

I LOVED The Night of the Hunter! I ran out and bought it so I could watch it over and over. No kidding.Originally Posted by C-dot

As to Fl cult films I'd say
The Cotton Club
The Untouchables
Public Enemies
I immediately thought of cult for the FL where they are modern films depicting a vintage era that might inspire one to vintage style dress or hats - Or a reasonable facsimile thereof.
