What about the "new" cult movies? I'm talking about stuff
like Donnie Darko and Waking life. The only reason I bring
it up is because I was thinking about writing a column about
it in a new campus magazine I'll be collaborating on next
fall. Any suggestions of other "new" cult movies?

CULT......ehehheheh

some of these movies are from the 1920's.........FREAKS is
on hellavah freaky movie

for instance.....Signature Line is :

"Gooble gobble, gooble gobble......We accept her......One of

as an homage.

Spinal tap is amazing though..... The dvd has loads of
extra bits that explain somethings that I allways wondered
about...

there are quite some really good ones, but also some that
dont really belong on that list...but than again there must
be some criteria for this

ahhahah.....i liked the whole thing with the AMP turning it
to number 11!! one of my FIRST DVD purchases, fo sho!

signature line from This Is Spinal Tap - "It's such a fine
line between stupid ......and clever."

Historic Moment - To return to that "up to eleven" business:
The Oxford English Dictionary now recognizes the phrase.

those WACKY Brits!!

tolstoyed.....it's a long article....i can't possibly type
it all up, maybe you can find it on the web somewhere with
the info i provided about what magazine THIS particular list
comes from!

good luck!

Throughout the film each member of the band and the manager
gets and loses big cold sores, some of the scenes that have
been cut they share the same groupy throughout....also they
invite the limo driver up to their romm which is totally
funny!!

It's all totally spot on, I love the bit in the end where...
I can't remember his name now....anyway he gets asked if
this is the end of spinal tap and he replies with such
nonsense that allmost makes sense asking the interviewer
'what is the end of the universe?' or something like that..

The ultimate in modern cult classic Gummo. Has anybody seen
Julian - Donkey Boy?

I really think "Ferris Bueller's day off" belongs on that
list to.
Wonderful John Huge's 80s comedy that makes you want to skip
school and enjoy life! =)

more classic lyrics from "Big Bottom"

"The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand/Or so I
have read"

ahhahahh......i can hear the melody in my HEED!!!

i REALLY wanna see GUMMO!!!! it's hard to find.

Gummo is really good, it's really twisted too, if you can
get past some of the disturbing bits, there are some amazing
scenes!

Spinal tap allways reminds me of woody allens 'Husbands and
Wives' It's soooo real!

unfortunately i don't have the computer resources to d/l
Gummo, i will prolly end up buying the DVD if i can find
it......i have to do that with most classic movies cos the
Video store just doesn't have them anymore. =/

thats what makes Spinal Tap so great, people still think
it's a REAL band......ahhahahahh

In the kitchen scene where they are wrestling the chair!!!
There's only two 'real' actors, One of them is a famous
skater, the white one with the afro type hair style the rest
are the real thing! That is sooo funny too...lot's of it is
real people living their lives.

I really liked it. I came across it by accident once, it was
being broadcast on a Belgian public station (which we also
get).

I even made a note of the title. :)

Harmony Korine who made that film wrote some lyrics for
Bjork on her last album. I don't really like his other
films but there's some brilliant moments in 'gummo'
