The Cult Films Thread Movie • Page 7

Black Dynamite tonight!

 

The Criterion Channel’s Chromecast support can eat both sides of my ass.

 

okay so i got like 30 minutes into eraserhead last night but then my gf started to fall asleep and she wants to watch it too so we pulled the plug. its just as odd as i remember!

 

Can we throw Hollywood Shuffle on the list?

 

And some Miyazaki films!

 

I have some major issues with De Palma, but I also think Phantom of the Paradise fits the bill for quite a few reasons. It’s certainly more straight up cult than some of what we’ve talked about, lol.

 

I always think about 'Wake in Fright' when I think about cult classics

 

Ooh murder party rules, it’s my favorite of all his “normal people who are terrible at murder” movies. Phantom of the Paradise is the most “cult” movie I’ve ever seen, it’s completely insane. Cult horror is like one of my favorite things, so I can contribute a lot to that side of the discussion, but I’m excited to watch the others, this thread rules.

 

Yeah, the only problem with Phantom is I have no idea if it’s streaming anywhere for people to watch together. I know I had to splurge on a DVD years ago just to have access.

 

Yeah, my copy was *sure* not cheap, that probably isn’t doable. My suggestions personally would be

Brain Damage
The Beyond
The Sentinel
Troll 2
Demons
House (1977)
Inland Empire
Slither
The Dark Crystal
Scanners

I know a couple of those are streaming, brain damage, Demons and The Beyond are all on Shudder and House is a Criterion. I’ve got more, but a lot of them are super gory or fucked up or impossible to find, so I figured I’d save those for the horror thread lol

 

I’m down for pretty much anything on that list. I watch Troll 2 start to finish more than is probably healthy.

 

i always forget that Henry from Eraserhead is Pete in Twin Peaks haha

 

i am in for whatever you guys tell me to watch but i do strongly back Troll 2 sooner rather than later so i can make my gf watch it

 

we'll try it for a few more weeks and if no one participates and it doesn't work then it doesn't work

this week's film is Clue

 

we'll do Troll 2 after Murder Party

 

this is the schedule:

Clue
Murder Party
Troll 2
Miami Connection
Koyaanisqatsi
Hausu
Pink Flamingos
Under the Skin
True Romance
Night of the Living Dead
3 Women
Branded to Kill
Holy Motors
Safe

remember: you have two weeks to watch the movie being discussed. if you'd like to contribute to the list, just lmk what you'd like to be added

 

I love Clue, so much fun. Every role is pretty perfect casting.

 

what Safe are we talking about here?

 

Clue is one where I don’t even need to rewatch it to participate, but of course I will anyway. Never gets old.

 

I love you @angrycandy !


Also anybody that has good things about Clue!

 

that trailer is mad cheesy but you get it

love you too, Colby

 

Wish Clue was still on whatever streaming service I saw it on recently.

 

haha okay this is what i had assumed but the Jason Statham movie kept popping up

 

Because I suck I haven't watched Eraserhead yet, but I'm gonna catch up on it and Clue this week. I did watch Murder Party because I mentioned it to a friend and he then forced it upon me. It was great though.
