I think when your movie/subject matter becomes fodder for other films, its getting up there with cult status. Being a successful film doesn't preclude a film from being a cult film. And I know so many people who can quote those things....
What has gotten into me? I am terribly opinionated today. I should get off the computer.

I agree . . . I think that because John Hughes movies have lasted beyond their time, they are probably quickly on the road to becoming cult classics. It's one thing for a movie to be successful when it was made, but the fact that almost everybody I know has seen at least a handful of JH movies even though they were made when we were, like, four . . . I think that puts them more in the cult classic status.
