If Salma Hayek is in the cult then get me some kool-aid :eek:
IMO the worst Clint Eastwood movie ever made was Firefox
this was the period when he wanted to prove he was a serious actor. There’s a scene in Firefox where he’s dealing with being tortured. Clint is hilarious trying to act that scene. Clint just doesn’t have those acting skills.
I love most Clint Eastwood movies. Firefox is a steaming pile of organic matter.
But, both were simply meh. Neither rises to the level of Sacred Bulldada that makes for a cult-worthy badfilm!
Excalibur.
(Oh, Helen Mirren, why?)
I’ll second Toxic Avenger, Repo-Man, Showgirls
Add Krull and Hellboy
I think I’m the only person who saw Surf Nazis Must Die so it isn’t really a cult hit
Well, what was he thinking, taking the lead in a movie about a web browser, for Pete’s sake?
No way in Hell (no pun intended) should Hellboy be included. It’s a brilliant, fun movie directed by a multi-Oscar nominated director. The guy made Pan’s Labyrinth, fer chrisakes! If you don’t like Hellboy, then you have no appreciation for talent that wants to just make something fun.
Krull I’ll give you though.
And one that competes with Microsoft to boot. Clint is lucky to still be alive.
I just tried to watch Reefer Madness tonight. I couldn’t make it through it.
Too stoned?
Too slow. The stilted, almost Victorian setups just never quite paid off. Dammit, I wanted to see REEFER MADNESS. I wanted to see the Demon Weed mercilessly take hold of those uptight assholes and turn them into mindless junkie zombies. All I got was kind of a wacky piano player, and a moderately wild party in which people got mellow and made out with each other. Where’s the madness? Granted, the film may have paid off with a homicidal bloodbath at the end, but I wouldn’t know. I started fast-forwarding during the ludicrously wholesome “Garsh! Hot chocolate! Thanks, Mrs. C!” scene, and then finally just went to bed. Made me ill, it did.
I meant you, not the movie. 
Not me. Perhaps it would have been better if I were. I’ll have to try that some time.
Well that was kinda my point. If I am remembering correctly it was pretty much panned by the critics but loved by the Sci-Fi community. ***I ***didn’t think it was bad. They thought it was bad.
Multi-Oscar? I could only find one and that was for screenplay, not directing?
One? Pan’s Labyrinth alone was up for six.
Nope, I saw it to.
I second the nomination of Flash Gordon and I will fight whomever says Buckaroo Banzai is a bad movie.
Showgirls was on just a couple of nights ago. I remain astonished that a movie with so many great tits can be so uninteresting.
I think I just misinterpreted your original quote. I took “multi-Oscar nominated director” to mean nominated multiple times for director. In any case, I agree with your original point.
I think anything with Sasha Baron Cohen in it is complete rubbish, but he seems to be developing cult-like status.
People Under the Stairs?
I really liked it but most of the people I’ve recommended it to have not.
I think part of a “cult” movie is the requirement that people will watch it repeatedly.
That movie is bad, all right, just really incredibly lousy bad, but I can’t imagine even die-hard Scientologists willingly sitting through it a second time.
The whole time I was reading this thread, I was debating “should I add it or shouldn’t I?”
On one hand, it really wasn’t done all that well. On the other hand, it’s such a good movie! So I agree with both of you, and am adding a half point to “Idiocracy” for relevancy to the topic.
