Looking for other great Cult Classics
I have to admit I'm brand new to Cult Classics, and after seeing this film, I want more.
Can anyone recommend their favorite bizarre movies like this? I'd love to make a rental list!
Thanks!

shareA really great way to use IMDB to find cult films you might not otherwise have stumbled upon:
Search keywords for "Cult Favorite" and "Cult Film".
http://www.imdb.com/keyword/cult-favorite/
http://www.imdb.com/keyword/cult-film/
Using either term as a jumping off point, narrow your search by selecting any of the terms on the right side of the screen.
For example: There are 13 "cult favorites" that include the tags "exploding head" and "female nudity".
http://www.imdb.com/keyword/cult-favorite/exploding-head/female-nudity /
And 13 that contain "Hallucination" and "Mysterious Death".
http://www.imdb.com/keyword/cult-favorite/hallucination/mysterious-dea th/
Other great keywords to start with include "Independent Film", "Cult Comedy", "B Movie", "Grindhouse", "Blaxploitation", "Slasher", "Erotica", etc.

You can also remove television shows and video games from the results by refining your search to "Movies" on the top right.
There's lots of wild stuff to be discovered this way:)
A lot of strange things happen in this world. Things you don't know about in Grand Rapids.

I'd take a break between these types of movies. Take a shower. Watch a comedy.
You cats are brilliant: these are all great lists.
May I add anything by Bill Castle or Larry Blamire to your contributions, and did anyone mention Teenagers From Outer Space?
I'm just now watching Spider Baby for the first time, and loving it.
Happy Halloween
Chickibidi, I see lots of people have offered plenty of choice movies to help you explore cult films. I only have one to add that is all too often overlooked (I confess, I overlooked it as well for way too long). It is Girly (aka Mumsy, Nanny, Sonny & Girly). It was released in 1970 with a lurid ad campaign that suggested it was yet another psycho killer film. In fact it is a very oddball film about a very unusual family. If you liked Spider Baby, you might enjoy this one. If you are in the US, it is available via Netflix streaming.
