What do you recommend? top 5?
note cult films are ones that have a fanbase, but aren't very popular.
Cult film is a colloquial term for a film that has acquired a highly devoted but relatively small group of fans.
just finished watching Donnie Darko (dunno if that'd be considered cult or not)
and friday i watched Ichi the Killer

I'm forever blowing bubbles
Pretty bubbles in the air
They fly so high
They reach the sky
And like my dreams they fade and die
Fortune's always hiding, I've looked everywhere
I'm forever blowing bubbles, pretty bubbles in the air.
United! United!

Virtually ignored upon its first release, The Toxic Avenger caught on with moviegoers after a long and successful midnight movie engagement at the famed Bleecker Street Cinemas in New York City in late 1985
In the decades following its release, The Goonies has gained a cult following primarily comprising people who were children or teens in the 1980s
Stand by Me Since its release, it has become a major cult classic. It has a 94% freshness on Rotten Tomatoes, and is currently on the IMDb top 250 films, with a rating of 8.1/10, with more than 47,000 votes.
