Sit Upon The Frozen Heavens
for those that don't know what classifies a movie as a cult classic here is the definition as stated by Wikipedia
The budget for this movie was only $400,000 tops and it shows. Not only that it was banned in countries throughout Europe. It's one of the few movies I know of to actually be given an NC-17 rating by the MPAA. This was the first movie to be labeled Video Nasty in the UK during the 80s. Then there's the scene in the movie where the woman was raped by a tree.
Now I'm not trying to turn anyone off of this movie I was just trying to explain why it wasn't received by a more main stream audience. I personally love this movie but I can understand why most people don't. I urge everyone who hasn't seen it to give at least give it a try.
when I thought of doing this thread about 10 minutes ago 1 movie popped immediately in my head and that movie is non other than...Wiki said:A cult film is a movie that attracts a devoted group of followers or obsessive fans, often despite having failed commercially on its initial release. The term also describes films that have remained popular over a long period of time amongst a small group of followers. Although they may only have a short cinema life, cult films often enjoy ongoing popularity through long runs on video, thus being issued in video "runs" with more copies than other movies. Usually, cult films have limited but very special, noted appeal.
