How do you define it- well I'd go for: it wasn't massive in the cinema, but now select groups of fans can quote vast chunks of the script.

I vote for:
Withnail and I
Harold and Maude
Spinal Tap

Any more ideas?

a clockwork orange was really gud, not sure if it fits the defintion of a cult movie though?

Yeah, it's got to be included. It was big but then it was banned- so def cult.

Clerks (?)

Seems to fit Office Space exactly...

'Bob Porter: Looks like you've been missing a lot of work lately.
Peter Gibbons: Well, I wouldn't exactly say I've been *missing* it, Bob. '

That's the greatest cult movie for me. I've heard it was actually voted the cult film of the 20th centuary.

It was once


...but today I'm going for Naked Lunch

Star Wars. the 1977 original

success at the cinema is irrelevent. Cult movies as I understand the term are films which inspire devotion and interaction from its fans, no matter how large or small. When people dress as the characters, quote the characters, and just generally behave like being a fan of a film is like being the member of a club or, well, a cult. And people seem to have forgotten that the original Star Wars was a low budget Sci-Fi that came out at a time when the Sci-Fi genre was dead and it was expected to just come and go and be forgotten.

Static,Brother From Another Planet,Captain Invincible,Wolfen.
