rm80rams 62 Report post Posted June 27, 2013 Cult comedies are quite possibly the best genre of movies out there. My top three are: 3. Zombieland 2. Office Space 1. Clerks Those are just a few of plenty of badass cult comedies. Tell me readers, what are your favorites? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ostrich Boy 59 Report post Posted June 27, 2013 I know Tommy Boy shouldn't count, but fuck, it kind of is a cult comedy now and by far my favorite, followed by Blazing Saddles and The Jerk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rm80rams 62 Report post Posted June 27, 2013 I totally just forgot fucking Blazing Saddles. I don't even know how. Clerks. Best movie ever with no storyline. So simple, it's genius. And Jay and Silent Bob are my favorite two characters in movies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jizzy 633 Report post Posted June 27, 2013 Idiocracy should have had more intelligent jokes, it was a comedy for 12 year olds grappling a serious issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beatnicpie 825 Report post Posted June 27, 2013 Rosencrantz and Gildenstern Are Dead. Gary Oldman plays Rosencrantz and Tim Roth plays Gildenstern. No, wait, Tim Roth plays Rosencrantz and Gary Oldman plays Gildenstern. ...fuck... Watch it, and you'll understand. And it makes Hamlet funny. Oscar. Sylvester Stallone plays a gangster in Prohibiton Era Chicago. Yes, it's a comedy. John Landis of Animal House fame directed. If you liked the movie Clue I believe you'll like this. Repo Man. Stars Emilio Estavez, y'know, Charlie Sheen's brother. A teenage Emilio plays a punk rock douche trying to get laid. He stumbles into a Repo Man job after a drunken party. This leads to philosophy, government agents, sex, and alien shit. Bad Taste. Peter Jackson's first movie. Human beings have become the new intergalactic taste sensation! It's up to a super secret government force of four New Zealanders to save us. Old Pete's one of our defenders. While this movie is hilarious, it is also bloody as hell itself. The only movie that surpasses it with gore and blood is Jackson's third movie, Dead Alive. Also funny. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rm80rams 62 Report post Posted June 27, 2013 Idiocracy was good, but disappointing considering who directed it. I expect nothing short of a cult classic from a guy like Mike Judge every time he directs a movie. But you can't expect intelligence in jokes when everyone's fucking retards and the #1 movie in America is called Ass. I think it can get labeled as stupid and juvenile, when actually, I found the base storyline and it's content to be quite clever. And The Big Lebowski is another I forgot, that is up there among the best too. Rosencrantz and Gildenstern Are Dead. Gary Oldman plays Rosencrantz and Tim Roth plays Gildenstern. No, wait, Tim Roth plays Rosencrantz and Gary Oldman plays Gildenstern. ...fuck... Watch it, and you'll understand. And it makes Hamlet funny. Oscar.

Ginginho 1613 Report post Posted June 27, 2013 The Big Lebowski is also good and I love the Monty Python films!! I also have to laugh at The Gods Must Be Crazy, although I don't know if it's classed as a cult film. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

narcolepsy 581 Report post Posted June 28, 2013 Zombieland isn't cult at all lol, it has a huge following. The League of Gentlemen sums this up about right. Some of the tv/movies posted don't seem cult followed at all. A cult following is a small but dedicated fanbase right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It won an Oscar for Best Screenplay, was nominated for four others, and was made into one of the most popular TV shows in history, but no one seems to remember the movie unless they're my mom's age. Either way, it's fucking great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
