Favorite B Movie/Cult Flick

Building on the discussion about horror movies....

What's your favorite "B" Movie or Cult Flick (almost the same thing...someone out there can provide a good description of both, I'm sure)???

"B" Movie: Pandemonium (starring Carol Kane...here's a description from allwatchers.com):
"Tom Smothers (a mounty), a horse named Bob, and Pee Wee Herman are cops searching for an escaped lunatic, prisoners are revolting at the local prison, and six teenagers are headed for cheerleader camp- not just any cheerleader camp, but the infamous one where all those cheerleaders were murdered. Sandy, Mandy, Candy, Andy, Randy, and Glen are unaware of the psycho stalking them. They're too busy cheering, playing strip poker, and having sex to realize what's going on until it's too late. Can Tom and Bob and Pee Wee catch the killer before all the cheerleaders are slaughtered? Will Candy ever get to use her diaphram? "

Cult Flick: Tie between Rocky Horror (in the theater when all the drama geeks are there doing their thing) or Monty Python's The Holy Grail. "It's just a flesh wound!"

Omg........I have seen Pandemonium!! I never knew what it was called, but it ruled! God bless USA Up All Night!

My fav crazy movie is "But I'm A Cheerleader." Here is the oh-so-PC synopsis from allwatchers.com

"It's about a girls parents and friends thinking she's a lezzie so they send her to a homosexual camp where she discovers she is one and falls in love with another lezzie."

Well, the "homosexual camp" is like actually like a 10-step program camp to quit being a homosexual. And RuPaul is in it. Weird.

Sad to note... I own this film.

Not sure I consider Kev's stuff either a B movie, maybe a cult flick, but they still are more indie then cult to me.


Must admit that I really think Party Monster fits well here.... by far a great cult flick. I also think (as some have been mentioned) that all the Christopher Guest films are great fits here too!

Since Christopher Guest has been mentioned..."This is Spinal Tap" is great. Where else can you hear rock lyrics such as:

"Working on a sex farm
Trying to raise some hard love
Getting out my pitch fork
Poking your hay

Scratching in your henhouse
Sniffing at your feedbag
Slipping out your back door
Leaving my spray"




I own Best in Show and A Mighty Wind, too.

"Sordid Lives"



Get ready for laughs the size of Texas when Olivia Newton-John, Beau Bridges, Bonnie Bedelia and Delta Burke lead an all-star cast in this twisted, white-trash tale "that puts the 'fun' in 'dysfunctional'" (Toronto Sun). The hilariously sordid details about a southern family surface with a vengeance when relatives converge for the funeral of "Grandma Peggy," who died after tripping over her lover's wooden legs! Toss in a couple of feuding, big-haired daughters, a jumpy aunt who just quit smoking, the scorned neighbor from hell, and crazy, cross-dressing "Brother Boy" - and you've got an outrageous "train wreck you can't help but watch!" (Chicago Tribune)

I'm obsessed with "teen" movies:

*Jawbreaker (with Rose McGowan)
*Heathers
*Mallrats
*Clueless
*Center Stage

Solarbabies. I dunno how many people ever saw this movie, but it was bad acting, storyline sucked, it's brilliant.
