Big Trouble ranks up there with the Golden Child--
Arguably Eddie Murphy's best movie

I dunno if this counts, but the book was a cult classic. I just saw the movie Catch-22 last night. I didn't even know there was one. And what a cast. Of course, the book was better. But the movie was pretty good.

I got Reservoir Dogs for my birthday last month, and I have watched it about 6 times since then. I totally love that movie. Mr Orange is like my perfect man!

I also love Pulp Fiction and Sin City.

Does anyone know some other good Tarantino movies I should watch.

Has anyone mentioned "Donnie Darko" yet? (I'm too lazy to go back over the last pages...)

Depends... :lol: The Kill Bill movies? He wrote Natural Born Killers, although didn't direct it. He directs (and stars in of course) one of the shorts in Four Rooms, but that's just a ripp-off of a Roald Dhal story.

I like Jackie Brown, though many don't. It could have been done better though I think.

Has anyone else got the three volumes of Cult Movies? It's a facinating trilogy of cult movies. Goes in to detailed plot of the movie then talks about it in short essay format. Really neat.

Does Donnie Darko count as a cult classic?
Also, Catch 22 was a movie? Wow. Was it any good?

Hey Jem. ;) Yeah...it was alright. What can you say about any adaptation for screen? They left out too much of the good stuff. They showed Doc Daneeka's "death" but didn't really follow it up with his troubles about being dead. The big indian guy was left out completely, and Major Major's refusal to see anybody was really only a single scene where he orders the sgt not to let people in to see him unless he's out.

Was funny, but nowhere near the book really.

I loved Catch 22 the movie. Great bit of movie surreal...
Movies should always be looked upon as being a different beast. The movie did all it had to in order to get it's message across. Brilliant, sad, funny work.
