What is a "Cult Classic" film?!


Question: What is a "Cult Classic" film!?
I heard this term being used before on films and was wondering what exactly does it mean!? Is it a film that just a certain number of people like, or a certain type of film all together!? Any help!?Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
A cult classic is a film that has a small group of very devoted fans!. The movie likely didn't make a lot of money its first time out in the theaters, but is still very popular within certain circles!. These movies are often odd and quirky!.

Take "Rocky Horror Picture Show" for example!. It still has midnight showings where people dress up, have choreographed dances and yell lines back at the screen!. It is a perfect example of a cult film!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

A movie that has a large fan following despite not being a mainstream release or having a high production budget!. Usually the movie deals with subject matter that is either taboo or just downright weird!. The Rocky Horror Picture Show is maybe the best example of a cult classic; it has a huge and incredibly devoted fanbase, but is not the movie for your average joe!. Some other of my favorite cult classics are Repo Man, Happiness, and Night of the Living Dead!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

It's a film that flopped at the box office but did well with dvd and vhs releases usually by word of mouth!. Examples: The Shawshank Redmemption, Harold and Maude, The Blob!. Not all of cult classics are films that were B movies, but many were!. Check out local used dvd stores which usually have cult sections!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I guess it depends what genre you're referring to!. A cult classic to me would be rocky horror picture show!. Clockwork orange is another fine example and if you've got the time, you have gota c bad boy bubby!. It is truly a cult classic!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
