Try IMDb's new 'Seen" feature - from this list, I've seen 41. Can you beat my score?

Hi - if you have some good definitive (especially genre specific) cult films lists that you would like us to add to the rotating "seen" list in the boards header, let us know!

eager to hear what you think of the new "seen" feature. If it's cult film specific you can reply on this thread, if it's about the "seen" feature as a whole, it would be best to reply here:

Mine counted out to 14 but knowing what qualifies as a cult film, I'd say there are a LOT more than 57 ever made.

I've seen 27 out of 57 from that list. There are many older cult movies not included on that list, however.

I've seen 57 but I have heard of almost all of them. Most of these don't really feel cult to me anymore.

Yeah I agree - what exactly qualifies as "cult film?"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_film

someone put WAY too much work into that page...

I would say:

1. Was a bomb on initial release, and I mean a BOMB, not $70 million box office that cost $50 million.

2. Not nominated for any awards.

3. Did not have a sequel (although the sequel itself might qualify)

... someone has a better way to figure it out...

I like this, from the Wiki page:

The claymation film Gumby: The Movie (1995), which made only $57,100 at the box office against its $2.8 million budget but sold a million copies on VHS alone, was subsequently released on DVD and remastered in high definition for Blu-ray due to its strong cult following.

$57,100!
