Dude! Liam Neeson was in Krull ?!?

I thought Darkman was his first movie. Although now that you mention it, I guess he was.

So, like this, except holding a sword?

Yesss!!

Make it so.

Ha! No sword, but instead, The Glaive!

But there were firemares! A point could be made they were the best part of the movie.

Neeson was also in Excalibur, pre-Krull, and in Next of Kin (oy), all pre-Darkman.

It's certainly one of the first things I think of when I think about the movie.

BBCA is currently showing V for Vendetta, which I can never surf past when it's on tv. I really should pick up the dvd for it.

One of my favorite movie lines: "For three years, I had roses, and apologized to no one."

Great line for sure.

I've mentioned it before but I'll note that Moore almost certainly based the Valerie character on Claude Cahun whose experience during the Nazi occupation of the Channel Islands is very similar.

I could see Tim Burton doing Lidsville.

Sadly, I wouldn't trust him with it at this point unless it was stop-motion.

At least they could save money by re-using Johnny Depp's wig and wardrobe from Alice in Wonderland.

The Top 10 New Cult Movies

Some of these I haven't heard of.

6: The Iron Giant

Yay!

4. Troll 2

?

3. Let the Right One In

Double-yay!

Could Let the Right One In be the best vampire movie of all time? Some critics think so, although it certainly wasn’t the biggest vampire flick of 2008 (that would be Twilight). The plot of the film is simple: a young, troubled boy meets a strange girl who only comes out at night. It’s touching, funny, genuine and terrifying – a difficult task for any movie. This gorgeous Swedish film is being remade for American audiences, but watch the original and you’ll see why Let the Right One In is one of the most acclaimed horror films in decades.

Quote: I’m twelve. But I’ve been twelve for a long time.

2. Donnie Darko

Yay!

The second movie on this list about time travel, Donnie Darko is probably the biggest “disaffected teen” cult movie since Heathers. The hallucinogenic story of young Donnie Darko has become a favorite of emo kids anywhere, thanks to its brooding central figure and the world-altering importance he carries. If you haven’t seen it, don’t be afraid of the movie because of its self-important fans – it’s actually a pretty good movie by a talented filmmaker. Unfortunately, writer/director Richard Kelly may have let the success of Donnie Darko go to his head; his next movie was the bewildering catastrophe Southland Tales, a film that’s developed its own cult following, primarily because of how bad it is.

1. Office Space

Yay!

How could any movie other than Office Space take the number one slot? Sure, it’s over ten years old at this point and so popular it hardly feels like a “cult” film anymore – it’s a cult film that broke through to a mainstream audience. The success of Office Space is entirely due to fans who convinced their friends to watch it, who in turn told their friends and so on. In that regard, it’s the perfect example of a cult movie. A box-office flop, Office Space found a second life on the then-new format of DVD, growing and growing in popularity as the years went by. This simple story of a fed-up office worker has sold millions of copies, inspired a real-life line of red Swingline staplers, and been named one of Entertainment Weekly’s best comedies of the last 25 years. Not bad for a film that barely made $10 million dollars in theaters.

The documentary Best Worst Movie will fill you in on the Troll 2 mania. And it's a pretty good documentary!
