Anna's Fave Trashy Cult Films:
Some goodies there. Three feature cross dressing and or transvestites...hmmm?
My top 10 list, off the top of my head so I'll probably miss some:
1 -
Rollerball - Some absolutely brutal action, poses some great questions about governments and compliance. Definitely some surreality to it as well, ie. the corporation party scenes' end. Brilliant choice of music also.
2 -
The Thing (John Carpenter version) - Full of tension and shocks and leaves you guessing. To me this film has virtually no flaws.
3 -
A Clockwork Orange - I was fascinated by the book for years. The classic themes of free will, morality and religion.
4 -
Pulp Fiction - Radical narrative style, great characters and cast, probably still the best example of Tarantino's unique dialogue writing.
5 -
Dawn Of The Dead (Original) - Best zombie movie ever. Such an awesome idea for them holed up in a shopping mall. It has it all, gore, suspense and action.
6 -
The Big Lebowski - Funny, awesome characters, twisting plot and that fucked up bowling dream sequence, lol. I'm gonna cheat a little on my list of ten films by adding Barton Fink, Raising Arizona, Fargo, O Brother Where Art Thou here too eg. Coen brothers films. Though I doubt they will be making cult films by definition anymore after NCFOM's raging success.
7 -
Requiem For A Dream - So disturbing but truly memorable thanks to the diet pills. Plus some other fucked up scenes. Drugs are bad mmmkay?
8 -
Clerks - It's all about the dialogue. Plus some crazy characters. And roller hockey, haha.
9 -
The Evil Dead - I admit, I've always loved my gory horror films...this one does it all with a great humorous style. The scene where the chick is saying what cards he's dealing without looking and then the about face is awesome. Braindead is sick too for a similar dose of gore and humour.
10 -
Cross Of Iron - One of the best (anti) war films I've ever seen. Peckinpah's best from the few I've seen. Depicting something Hollywood as far as I know has never touched, the German Army side of the conflict. James Coburn's character has to be one of the most admirable leaders of men I've seen in a war film. He doesn't kow tow to the superiors only out for their own personal glory amid a cloud of ignorance.
Honourable Mentions:The Killing, Little Shop Of Horrors, Dead Man, The Warriors, Re-Animator, Reservoir Dogs, Monty Python and the..., The Toxic Avenger, Starship Troopers, Soylent Green, Logan's Run, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Get Carter (original), Lock Up, Cyclo, Capricorn One, Cannibal Holocaust, The Shawshank Redemption, Hard Boiled, The Killer, The Running Man, Trainspotting, City Of God, They Live, Mad Max, Superfly, Night Of The Living Dead, Day Of The Dead, Enter The Dragon, The Big Brawl, Police Story, etc. Bloodsucking Freaks, lol I downloaded this thinking it was a vampire film and it turns out to be one of the most shocking exploitation films I've ever seen!
I could go on for days...love these types of films.
i will make a list of the vhs i own, as well as dvds, 
:
Happiness - Todd Solondz. Set the tone for my film watching for many years to come, specially as I saw it in year 11!
u are right tho, wesley snipes is a nutso acotr, he really was amazing as the drag queen, Noxima! 
I rate that as second only to Rollerball among those Warner Bros. 70's classics. It's one I would actually be keen on seeing an interesting remake of, Yul Brynner's menacing gunslinger would be hard top however. His cold stare was chilling.
