The latest list to appear is a good one, it’s a poll of readers from a movie magazine about what they judge to be the greatest cult movies of all time. It makes for interesting reading.
Actually I quite agree with the top three, and maybe four. I’m not entirely sure about the order, but then that really is down to personal preference and what memories are associated with the movies, but they really have nailed some of the top cult movies. From Hotdog magazine through Digital Spy:
1. The Wicker Man
2. Donnie Darko
3. Rocky Horror Picture Show
4. Freaks
5. Withnail + I
6. The Wizard of Oz
7. Plan 9 from Outer Space
8. The Crow
9. Cannibal Holocaust
10. Beyond the Valley of the Dolls
Well, what do you think? Do you agree, or is there a better list in your mind, or even a more deserving number one? What defines a cult movie anyway, and are we sure that all these fit the category…actually I don’t know why I’m really asking that as I believe they all fit it perfectly, but you may not…?
