Entertainment Exclusive: Top 15 Cult Movies You Must Watch Now

Some of the weirdest artefacts in the history of film are cult movies. Most of them shatter all the established catechisms in the conventional hitbox office formula for a film, but in one way or another, they end up transcending time to gain a constituency of fans who fall in love with its individuality, zaniness, and general brashness.

It is offbeat humour, revolutionary images, or perhaps a line of dialogue that will never leave their minds. That’s how these films remain stuck in their minds long after the credits have rolled. Now is the time to get down to the Entertainment Weekly list of the 50 greatest cult movies of all time. Let’s unwrap and understand why these cinematic experiences are so indelible.

What is a Cult Movie? (Entertainment)

Alright then, let’s just briefly define what makes a movie be termed a “cult classic” before going down that list. Over time, they tend to become a hit. Cult movies (Entertainment) tend to rarely experience the case in which a box office hit is taken straight up without much seek until the word of the mouth comes in to make them go cult.

• Appeal toward niche audience: films are hardly cinematic but wish to have some niche appeal toward an energetic section of the audience
• Be weird and outre: it is weird in the narration; weirder it is with its casts it follows by shootings just to seem like nothing but some other times something’s beyond belief.

1. The Big Lebowski, 1998

The Big Lebowski is one of the cult-ish films ever filmed. Coen Brothers shot it. Anything film that can afford to give a whiff of what primarily is half-poached (Entertainment) egg of a plot unto farcical comedy with its unforgettable characters that include Jeff Bridges in the mould of “The Dude” truly has worked his way out onto cult status and well traces can be easily found even with as innocuously innocuous a pastime that is having some themed party going on to even a perfectly legitimate annual bowling tournament.

2. Rocky Horror Picture Show, 1975

Except from the list of all the movies above, it has a list of midnight movies as comprising cult movies as if it speaks for itself-the actual phenomenon that really puts horror science fiction into a musical event: therefore, for this film, a cinematic performance really becomes very interactive for both of the audience dressed up as characters who sing songs at the top of it too.

3. Pulp Fiction (1994)

So wild a plot’s distribution, (Entertainment) dialogues funny only and in the frame, of course, heroes unforgettable – Quentin Tarantino turned pulp fiction machine into cinema of time. A very good cast has been placed there that, together with others, sported names like these: John Travolta, Uma Thurman, and Samuel L. Jackson – so many words flooded over its silhouette.

4. Fight Club, 1999.

It is a David Fincher film. Extremely popular, (Entertainment) in a week, it gained some kind of a cultural icon through cults. Machismo and hedonism at the very nerve end of the self-image in violent surrealism lead to one of the most valued cult movies chopped out from the tail end of the 20th century and characterized by cult conclusion and Brad Pitt’s performance as Tyler Durden.

5. Donnie Darko 2001

Donnie Darko is the science fiction movie with eerily disturbing dramatic elements to the psyches of the teens, sucking all the accolades thrown their way shortly after its release in 2001. This freak of the sci-fi genre on issues of mental disorder made with due care with the erstwhile dashing actor couple Jake Gyllenhaal and Jena Malone transformed into cult.

6. Blade Runner 1982

Actually, the cinema of any dystopian moviemaking tradition has a classic in Ridley Scott’s science fiction film, Blade Runner. What seems to appear (Entertainment) as a film that could hardly live up to being a box office success reduces to immortalize it in cult status in realms of humankind and the presence of the machines through its breathtaking visual capability.

7. The Room (2003)

It would simply be labeled “the worst film ever made, due to best knowledge: some of the worse dialogue and worse acting.” And with such a director who led this abomination, like Tommy Wiseau, the world is enabled to realize that bad filmmaking isn’t nothing if it’s-that-that is dollars they pay with their tickets to sit back, not saying the words, rather just recite lines of participative craziness with each new view.

8. A Clockwork Orange 1971

by Stanley Kubrick, A Clockwork Orange, (Entertainment) one heavy step towards free will and violence, plus the social control issue. The theme of controversy, and the fashion by which it was handled branded this as being one of the most controversial films ever to be made, yet ironically the impact created in modern filmmaking cannot be disregarded

9. Clerks (1994)

Clerks is the first from director Kevin Smith; a low-budget, black-and-white funny indie comedy showing the misadventures of what one faces while trying to work with a retail counter in quite a dark sense of humor. Great script and people do make it even closer to everybody’s heart-it just happens to be one amongst the most classic cult films to have emerged back in the 90’s.

10. Eraser head 1977

Eraser head is, in fact the tale of a man in some strange, (Entertainment) really gruesome place: a surrealist, nightmarish film on haunting visuals with disquieting sound design-the work happens to be one of the finest films in the art of avant-garde cinema as well as David Lynch’s own favorite.

11. The Princess Bride (1987)

This one, another fairy tale that entertains every member of all the audience ranging from all walks of life- full of wisecracking’s, charms and quotable lines; and remained beginning to end as perfect as a family film itself, conquer many hearts which has gained this kind of faithful cult following

12. The Warriors (1979)

This is one gritty action-urban look with some iconic looks, fight to survive after being framed in a crime that they are not involved in. The great cult classics defining 1970s cinema would not have it any less because of these things.

13. Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

This bizarre appeal of the movie, that fantastic one-liners (Entertainment) did justice to, brought the viewer back time and time again until Napoleon Dynamite became a cult comedy that is very much known since 2000 but not before weird style, weird characters and dry humour did become a weird phenomenon when it first went through the cinemas.

14. The Goonies (1985)

This has been the original movie that stayed in all of our hearts since this movie had been seen on big screens for the very first day. A reality, this has been an absolutely fantastic combination of an adventure film accompanied by all the elements of comedy and reminiscence along with it. More like a treasure hunt of kinds, it looks like some gang of kids walking around to save houses.

15. Heathers, 1988

It is a black comedy with satire effects wherein teenage angst and high school cliques are brutally caricatured. Even after many years from the time of its release, the acumen in the observation about pop culture and pressure over violence persists through that audience everywhere. A black humor fan and tale of rebellion admirer can only love this film boundless.

Conclusion

There’s that something about cult movies which, you’d be hard pressed and never have in your pocket for not going there. Mainstream movies are truly different yet have flavored the entire movie world to be, from either fresh tale-telling ability, some awkward characters or razor-sharp subjects in them. These are only but some of the finest in the category who have passed over into moviemakers’ minds worldwide. And now, these are just the moments when injections of such cinematic gems would continue inspiring generations of filmmakers.
