My favorite "cult" movie is Used Cars, from 1980. The cult is very small, though. I think there are about five of us in it. We can recite every line, and make references to it in every day life constantly.

Used cars and the other classic, "Car Wash", seemed to attract the same kind of audience.
I got a copy of "Used Cars" at a thrift. I think, I only saw it once before.
Slightly OOT, How about the dame, that has 500 copies of "Speed". I think, every thrift in the country, has one or more copies. I didn't think, that movie was that good.

Brian DePalma's FIRST film, "Sisters" from 1973. Shot entirely on Long Island, it also features the LAST score by the late, great Bernard Herrmann. His music pretty much MAKES the film, w/its freaky, "World-Out-Of-Kilter" sound.

Thank you for posting that. All of the useless things I have ever done in my life seem like the work of Mother Theresa now, by comparison. And, no, I am not going to send my Laser Disc copy of "Speed" to him.

I'll bring the pop corn if we can watch them all in one night.....

I liked XANADO too..... ONJ was pretty hot.... Good movie...
Can't believe they made good movies without guns or car chases back then,
but then as I remember reviewers didn't like it much..... And they made good
car chase movies back then.... Now they don't think anything about
Matrixing up a car chase till you just sit there disappointed.....
You can't beat a Rockford Car Chase ! !

Ahhhh, those were the days when I actually Went to the movies....
Now I've seen so many that suck as a rental, I'm always happy I didn't
blow any real money on them....

Yeah, CGI style car chases leave me cold.. Gimme a "Bullitt", Seven-Ups" or "Gone in 60 Seconds"-the 1974 version, only-ANY day over all that computer-generated nonsense. "Vanishing Point", the 1970 version w/Barry Newman, is also a Good 'Un. ALL the CGI crap in the world CAN'T out-do Cubic Inches, & skillful driving. When will these dimwits get that thru their thick skulls ?!?

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. Amazing acting, especially Chief!! :-)
