OK. I've been thinking about the distinction b/t a cult flick & a B movie....and here's what I've come up with (feel free to expand):
B Movie: Low budget, bad acting (or writing...sometimes one doesn't = the other), critically panned, highly entertaining.
Cult Flick: Movie that has grown a fanatical following over the years...possibly not well received when first released. Characterized by viewing sessions where viewers know every line. Also, you can spot a cult movie fan on the street when they shout random phrases like "I want my Two Dollars!" or "I'm not dead yet...I got bettah."
On that note, I cannot believe I did not include Sixteen Candles & Better Off Dead in my cult classics list.
(JAM-thanks for the tip on Harold & Maude...I'm always up for a new one...).
