Wealth of Geeks' Greatest Cult Movie Classics of All Time

"How to define a cult classic? More often than not, one can identify a cult movie simply by watching it and being washed over by its quirkiness, off-beat tone, or technical mastery despite clear budget restrictions. Yet, this generic rule doesn't encapsulate all cult films. Sometimes, a cult film is an international success, a wannabe blockbuster, or just a straight-up production of unadulterated shlock. Most of all, a cult film requires devotion: the devotion of a feverous fanbase that persists for decades, gradually drilling the movie into the mainstream with near-religious zealousness. To become a true 'cult classic,' the movie must possess a lasting staying power from its initial mixed reception and may now come highly regarded as one of the best in the history of the film medium. Wealth of Geeks presents these true cult classics, beginning with the slightly mainstream before gradually dovetailing into the off-beaten path that makes a film part of the cult." - wealthofgeeks.com
