Favorite "Cult" movie?

Right now (I change my opinion often) I'm going with, The Big Lebowski!

How about you?

"female trouble" is my favorite

all the divine movies take a special twisted mind.

terry gilliam's "brazil" seems fairly familiar to those of us in modern dystopia.

but since The Big Lebowski was already picked, I’ll say Office Space.

Bagdad Cafe movie review & film summary (1988) | Roger Ebert
The proprietor is a free-thinking black woman named Brenda (CCH Pounder - yes, CCH Pounder), who shares the premises with her teenage children, a baby… Jack Palance …



He is saying something in this movie about Europe and America, about the old and the new, about the edge of the desert as the edge of the American Dream. I am not sure exactly what it is, but that is comforting; if a director could assemble these strange characters and then know for sure what they were doing in the same movie together, he would be too confident to find the humor in their situation. The charm of “Bagdad Cafe” is that every character and every moment is unanticipated, obscurely motivated, of uncertain meaning and vibrating with life.
