10 Movies That Became Surprising Cult Classics According to Collider

"There's much disagreement over what exactly constitutes a cult film, but one thing that most people agree on is that the movie must at least have a devoted, passionate fan base. The best cult films span a variety of genres and all have unique origin stories. They include movies that were ahead of their time, that didn't resonate with mainstream audiences but found a dedicated niche, or which greatly influenced movie history despite modest ticket sales. The rise of cult movies really began with home video, which allowed box office flops to find new audiences in people's living rooms. Social media and online file-sharing have further increased movies' ability to quickly find an audience beyond the multiplex. In fact, some of today's most beloved movies actually started out as critical and commercial failures." - collider.com
