Cult Movie List...

Repo Man From Christopher:

This is the list of top 50 Cult movies (or so) as chosen by Entertainment Weekly. I will bold the ones that I have seen and put a series of * to indicate how I liked it. ***** would indicate that it was the bomb diggity (a good thing). * indicates that you should really avoid this steaming pile of poo.
See Christopher’s scores here.

I think I’ll join in. Below is the list movies, and I’ll be using the same scoring method as described above. (And, yes, there’re are actually 61 movies in the list — go figure.)

My apologies… Somehow, I managed to lose all of the comments to this Entry — which must have occurred when I did the upgrade to this site. I will try to find them, but I’m thinking I won’t… Ugh.

Five or six highly entertaining comments about the movie “Swingers” down the drain… In my opinion, nothing lost. (Sorry, Dennis!)
