This would have to be my favourite then.

"You see, there's this mat on the floor with different CONCLUSIONS written on it that you could JUMP to." One of the most quotable movies ever.

Although quite rightly regarded as a great movie now, this bombed at the box office originally and gained a cult following on video later to become a favourite.

Even though it's easy to state after the fact. I saw this at the cinema and loved it immediately and knew it was something special.

It is odd watching it now as it is infamous for it's many gaffes technically but at the time it didn't matter.

aw, c'mon, it was nominated for Best Picture, how can that be cult?

One of my absolute favorite shows, and it only got two seasons. They also wrapped it up rather hastily, and broke my heart.

**** yeah, I loved that show! I watched every single episode cause I just knew that it would get cancelled. It never stood a chance. It was just too different.

yes yes and more yes!

I haven't seen it in awhile but I love Gremlins and Gremlins 2.

Gremlins was a hit when it came out and has remained popular ever since which doesn't scream cult to me.

Cult is usually a film or show that remains largely ignored upon general release but gains a steady following through word of mouth or (in this day and age) internet forums which then means the media re-evaluates it and declares it the best thing since sliced bread.

This only made it on mainstream T.V here last year which is when I caught it (in fact I bought the boxset a couple of months back and I'm halfway through season 3) and everyone with half a brain was hooked. I am sure it took a long time to catch on in the states too.

Yeah, I don't think The Wire caught on with it's popularity until like season 5 or 6.

^I only have two episodes left to watch :(. I've never laughed so hard watching tv as I had with Black Books.

Really wished that the last episode was aired. I mean, Hitler wanting to send his fellow students to Concentration Camp to help them study? That sounds nothing less then spectacular (plus, what a cliffhanger).
