Cult Scifi Titles

rekz 17 years, 6 months ago at Oct 10 10:03 -
I prefer cult films to all others, generally.

I guess mostly cult scifi, like:
Delicatessen, Hardware, They Live!, Strange Days, and so on

Anyone else love the stuff?

LIST SOME TITLES!

Logan's Run.

That's a real cult classic right there!

I'm sure Soylent Green would be great for the list too, only I've never actually watched it :(

Godzilla Movies:
Gojira (the original allegory on the bomb)
Godzilla vs Monster Zero (my first Godzilla movie, the first one to feature alien antagonists)
Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla (the very epitome of Godzilla campiness, though I've yet to see Godzilla vs Megalon :p)
Godzilla vs Biollante (one of my first, and considered one of the best)
Godzilla vs Space Godzilla (either you like the Heisei camp in Godzilla vs King Ghidorah, or in this)
Godzilla 2000 (though the human story is quite boring, the monster aspect is one of the most original in Godzilla's history)
Godzilla: Tokyo SOS (a definitive Godzilla movie with an allstar line-up of monsters)

Other Kaiju Movies:
King Kong Escapes (familiar faces for both fans of Godzilla and James Bond, campy but serious with truly vibrant coloring)
The Host (brilliant CGI, hilarious drawn-out scenes, quirky flick)

My Favorite Film of All Time:
King Kong vs Godzilla

What about 12 Monkeys?
vanious 16 years, 8 months ago at Aug 24 22:08 -
said it.

Can Stargate really be considered cult with the huge success of the Television show it spawned?

anywho, how about Soldier

vanious, perhaps it was its cult following that allowed the TV series to gain traction and flourish, but the original film was definitely a cult following, it wasn't mainstream success, at least not that I recall.

oops missed your post saying that.

And Stargate didn't do that well in theaters and technically the show isn't that popular because it's only popular in the sci-fi crowd not the mainstream.
vanious 16 years, 8 months ago at Aug 26 23:39 -
alright, point taken, Stargate is cult.

Robocop 1, 2 and 3

"Cult" suggests it has a fan base. Less contradictory a term than "Alternative". Eh I suppose I like much of what fall in this category (which could be a lot). Off beat comedies and tv shows, B-grade vintage horror & sci-fi. Some retro Sexploitation/Blaxploitation and so on. My slow growing DVD collection may give a bit of insight

Blakes Seven.

Though not a film, rather a 1970s British TV series, it definitely falls under the cult scifi category.

Freejack, Hadn't heard of it till I picked it up for $5 but I have to say it was pretty enjoyable

The Day the Earth Stood Still, more of a classic than a cult film, but these days there's becoming less and less of a difference
