Cult classics of this decade

[PyroChamber]

Are there any movies that have come out from 2000 to now that you think have become cult classics or may become cult classics somewhere down the line?

 

[Dark Victory]

Elephant
Spider
Donnie Darko
Big Lebowski

 

[Nirvana]

American Psycho

 

[CBGB]

Watchmen
Where the Wild Things Are
Moon

 

[SuperFerret]

Cloverfield. Not very popular among the general population but it has a decent fanbase. That'd make it a cult movie.

 

[BLACK-SPIDEY]

Donnie Darko ftw!!!

 

[Sawyer]

Moratorium on any Napoleon Dynamite talk, please. I dont care if it is a cult classic of this decade. The title doesnt apply when the movie blows.

Then how come someone has already brought up Watchmen? They're already not following that rule.

 

[SuperFerret]

It's a cult movie, Sawyer, but FAR from anything resembling a classic. I'll also include Donnie Darko with that definition.

 

[Sawyer]

As long as nobody brings it up.

 

[VenomVsSpidey]

Spider-Man 3. yyeeeaaahhhh

 

[SuperFerret]

I think we need to define "Cult Classic" before this goes too far.

There's no way to stop it. It was only a matter of time before people started to confuse 'cult classic' with, 'crappy movie that not many people like'.

But that doesn't make it a cult classic.

 

[VenomVsSpidey]

isnt a cult classic one that is heavily frowned upon, but a cult of people like it?

Spider-Man 3 is a decent sequel in a fairly good franchise. It's not a Cult Classic.

Rocky Horror Picture Show is a Cult Classic. Evil Dead is a Cult Classic. Edward Scissorhands is a Cult Classic. Wrath of Khan is a Cult Classic. Mystery Men is a Cult Classic.

I could go on.

Memento
The Machinist

Dude. Spider-man 3 is the third movie in a well known and successful franchise of superhero movies based on even more popular comics...

No, a cult classic is a movie that most likely didn't do well at the box office and is considered by the mainstream to be a flop, which SM3 was not.
