Cult Classics.
What the hell. Sometimes, I honestly do not understand why a certain film becomes so popular within a niche of society. Other times, I fall right into that niche and cannot comprehend how someone could NOT like a movie I like. Examples of each:
I'm done with this. I need to go watch some of these.
What the hell. Sometimes, I honestly do not understand why a certain film becomes so popular within a niche of society. Other times, I fall right into that niche and cannot comprehend how someone could NOT like a movie I like. Examples of each:
Labyrinth. Yes, it has David Bowie, a forgotten member of the Olympian Pnatheon. Yes, Jim Henson dropped a metric ton of acid to make all the muppets and scenes for that movie. Yes, the music is good. But I don't get what the big deal over the whole movie is, although I do enjoy it.
Night of the Living Dead. How could people NOT like this movie? It has tension. Character development. A strong protagonist. A poignant message. AND ZOMBIES. 'Nuff said.
Rocky Horror Picture Show. I fall inbetween on this one. On one hand, RHPS fans who go all out and dress in drag and constantly sing its praises as if were the Word of God freak me the hell out. But on the other hand, I like it a bit. It's quirky. It's a musical from hell. It's so deliciously sacreligious that you can't help but want to dive into it.
Napoleon Dynamite. Stop it now, for fuck's sake.
The Wall, Magical Mystery Tour, Tommy, Yellow Submarine, 200 Motels, etc. First rule of band-made movies: Band-made movies are the worst movies in the world, unless it's your band. If this is the case, there is no equal in all the world of cinema.
Blade Runner. How can one NOT like cyberpunk neo-noir?!
I'm done with this. I need to go watch some of these.

Oh, Yellow Submarine is endearing in its way. And it was made by the guy who made the Flintsones!
