I'm a huge fan of the movie "Dune". dunno if it qualifies as a cult classic, though.

David Lynch version or the Sci-Fi Channel version?

Sting version (I think it's David Lynch). I have it on tape upstairs somewhere, in the Room of Doom with sixty hundred lotsandlots of random other stuff.

You can tell I don't watch much TV anymore - I didn't even know there was a Sci-Fi Channel version of Dune. I, also, cannot imagine how it could be better than the original.

Rule of thumb, ET: if Kyle MacLachlan is in it, it's a pretty safe bet David Lynch directed it.

Either The Big Lebowski or Office Space for me.

Rule of thumb, ET: if Kyle MacLachlan is in it, it's a pretty safe bet David Lynch directed it.

Does that include Desperate Housewives?

Scene 1: Wisteria Lane. The sun is shining on the white picket fences and the unnecessarily large SUVs. A man approaches the Solis family's front door and rings the doorbell. Gabrielle answers the door.

Eva Longoria: "Can I help you?"

Dennis Hopper (huffing nitrous from his jacket pocket): "Daddy wants to f**k! Daddy wants to f**k!"

Four midgets walk past singing "Blue Velvet" backwards, but in a barbershop quartet style. Orson Hodge opens his front door, holding a cup, to look at what is happening.

Kyle McLachlan: "Damn fine coffee!"

Suddenly, a 400' sandworm erupts through the tarmac of the quiet cul-de-sac, and Nicholas Cage, wearing a snakeskin jacket, sings Elvis songs to the assembled cast and crew...

Was that before or after the episode where the newlyweds, the Log Lady and the Elephant Man, move in down the block with their son, Eraserhead?

That means Sex & the City too. I always knew Lynch was secretly into shopping and girl talk.

Jeez. I gotta get out more.

No, No ET, stay where you are, it's much safer there.....

Well... It actually followed the book, made sense, and had far superior special effects, to begin with. I never understood what made the original so popular.

I'll definitely give the Sci-Fi version a chance.

Rocky Horror Picture Show - I obsessed over this the first time I saw it. Watched it at least once a month for a year.
Little Shop of Horrors - No one can resist 'Suddenly Seymour'. Rick Moranis singing? Awesome!
Dune - The original because I saw this first. The Sci-Fi Channel's version was closer to the book, but Lynch's version had a certain Je ne sais pas. And Patrick Stewart Sci-Fi also made Children of Dune, which was quite good.
eXistenZ - Could this be considered a cult classic? It's certainly a head "doer".

There are so many others, almost too many to mention, like the George A Romero Living Dead series, his film The Crazies (1973 original) as well. Horrors from the rather prolific Dario Argento (Suspiria, Phenomena, The Stendahl Syndrome and Demons to name a few) and Lucio Fulci (The House by the Cemetary, the Zombi series) are well worth checking out as well.

[Scott the Pirate]

as for dune, the original is good, but definitely lacking in the effects department.

Rocky horror? Don't make me tell that story again!

Office Space? 100% agreed! awesome!

A Clockwork Orange.

Jacobs Ladder.

Dogma.

Mirrormask.

And soon to be a cult classic, the "new" Dawn of the Dead.

Who's letting Nef Yoo watch all these rude films!!!

I'm about to read the cult classic Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
