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!

4. Troll 2

?

You haven't heard of Troll 2 ? Heh. I've only heard of it, I think, because of the various EW articles about it related to Best Worst Movie, a documentary about it. It is not actually a sequel to the movie named Troll and is, in fact, about vegetarian goblins.

Some good movies on that list, though I'm one of the few people who didn't love Let the Right One In. But in its defense, I was really tired when I saw it.

Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang is a movie made of awesome.

I'm one of the few people who didn't love Let the Right One In.

I dunno - I think lots of people didn't like it.

I love Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Boondock Saints, glad to see those both in there.

wrod. Also Office Space.

So is that picture they use for Troll 2 actually from the movie? I mean, that's not some Troll 2 cosplay with shitty rubber masks going on?

I love Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Boondock Saints, glad to see those both in there.

Two of my favorites, though I have not seen the Boondock sequel, mostly for loathing of Troy Duffy.
