Title: Modern Cult Films (1997-2021)
Post by: claws on February 08, 2021, 07:55:37 PM

By today's standards, anything older than 25 years is a "classic" as in "old". This rule also applies to cars and music (classic rock). I tried to come up with a list in RC's Cult Film thread but I found it to be impossible to narrow it down. My original list for modern cult films contains 161 movies but I was able to shave off 11. These are movies I've seen and wiki claims are cult films. Feel free to share your faves and make your list as long as you like. Here's mine:

1. Fight Club (1999)
2. The Matrix (1999)
3. Memento (2000)
4. V for Vendetta (2005)
5. Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003)

It wasn't listed in wiki's cult films beginning with the letter "S" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cult_films:_S

Great list. There are quite a few here that I have yet to see, and this list will make it easier to check those boxes.

I wonder how they define a cult movie for their list?

Hardly. ISHTAR isn't classic. THE MANITOU ain't no classic. How old are you? Turning 30? :smile:

THE FAVOURITE (2018) Have you seen it? Recommended to those not easily offended. And funny! Most of all, grotesque.

UP (2009) If that is not a cult film, I'd be stunned. Unless of course, everybody loves it as much as me.

KILL BILL VOL. 1 (2003)

KILL BILL VOL. 2 (2004) Loads of comic book violence and joys in both; culminating in the coolest trailer trash ninja moment in all cinema. These were designed to be cult films, loaded with offensive moments you can't help but laugh at.

Does that count?
Because I love that movie!
