Compiled From This List Of Cult Films...A List Of Cult Films According To Some Encyclopedia
...which is subjective of course, but this one's from an encyclopedia so it sounds official, and it was the most extensive one I could find.

I guess the verdict is that I'm just a cult movie kinda guy... since I overwhelmingly agree with the majority of cult status films.

You don't get the James Bond cult?*
Gadgets, guns, explosions, snappy/cheesy one-liners and gorgeous promiscuous women. What more is there?

*I'm not a member of this cult either, but I understand it.

P Pogo08/13/2005

Actually, how about some other "cults":
Rocky Horror
Evil Dead
Eraserhead

...and there's a Garden State cult?

grandpa_chum08/13/2005

hey I Just went by the list... those three were also on it, but i've never seen them... as for james bond, i guess i could understand it, I just don't condone it.

oh shit, i copied and pasted the link tags but forgot to change the name, that link in comments is, as now marked, the list of cult films I used to compile the list.

Perhaps grandpa_chum is using "get" as in "You will get a debilitating disease."
