Jim Jones
Harry Christna (don't ask me about the spelling)
Queer Eye for a Straight guy

Yes. We are looking for movies with a cult-like following.

Law and Order and CSI are mine.

I've watched that Osbourne before...Some of the things his kids say in the house.

My parents would have KILLED me. :D

Most of that stuff I just peruse thru or channel surf. I'm still wondering how this "Extreme Home Make Over" show get these people to pay increase property taxes.

I guess "Extreme Foreclosures" will be the flavor in a few years. :rolleyes:

"Star Wars" has a cult-like following, as does (on the small and big screen) Star Trek. I would not describe them as cult movies, however. As Guy notes, consider tightening your criteria.

Like... among other things, despite being objectively bad movies (in terms of acting, storyline, effects or other factors), subjectively you can't stop watching them. That's just one criterion, which could include movies as diverse as The Green Berets and Monty Python and the Holy Grail.


That said, nominees:

Army of Darkness
Conan the Barbarian
Grease
Mad Max 2 (Road Warrior)

I was just about to say that you can define the criteria, but did you just say that The Green Berets is an "objectively bad movie"? :eek: :munchin

Good lord...

ROTFLMAO... I am speechless- you win.

Dammit... I can see new a new title for me coming when the Team Sergeant reads this. haha

Jack Moroney (RIP) 01-21-2005 15:28

Damn, I would have thought cult movies for lawyers would have been Perry Mason, 12 Angry Men, and Heidi(for child abuse of course).

Also:

The tax makeover can be extreme, too (warning: annoying USAToday pop-up ads)
