Bud the Baker Posted May 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Another two I'd recommend are - Still Life - Tearjerker about a lonely council worker completing one last job before being made redundant. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2395417/ Goodbye Pork Pie - Apocalyptic, comedy road movie set in NZ about a guy's response to getting a Dear John letter. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082464/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Arthur Blair Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Primer, an absolute head-f**k of a time travel movie. Only 80 minutes long, there's a 20 minute youtube video explaining it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Primer, an absolute head-f**k of a time travel movie. Only 80 minutes long, there's a 20 minute youtube video explaining it. Mentioned this movie on here before - love it. Watched it ten times, still get something new from watching it. Made on a budget of thruppence ha'penny and a half-chewed Bazooka Joe.....

Bud the Baker Posted May 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) Can't see that being a cult fillum. Closet door opens, man steps out, the end. No chance. Who is that man, I want to know about that him - his past present and future? And every closet is a potential Narnia I want to know more about it's size, style and contents - (50 pairs of red stilettos transforming into dead donkeys in a homage to Buñuel) the man thinks back to his younger self the clothes he used to wear - he sees items kept and treasured has flashbacks in black & white to who he used to be and what has made him the man he now is. He emerges from the closet an anguished man in a grey business suit then a fantasy sequence accompanied by Judy Garland singing - the man dons some gay attire, the chorus swells, he reaches the room door, the music changes to an orchestra, there's a party outside - does he leave the room and embrace his new self or go back into the closet and his grey world. Does it end in laughter or tears? In fact it's the perfect Arthouse fillum, and don't get me started on the Director's Cut with it's post-apocalyptic zombie scenes..........

pozbaird Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 You've put far too much thought into that. Have you tried taking up a hobby? I hear philately is very rewarding. Nah, the cnut has done nothing since Riverdance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bud the Baker Posted October 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) Add The Death of Stalin to the list - Iannuccis's absurdist fillum is uncomfortable viewing at times & not for the squeamish but plenty of LoL scenes!

The bit about the closet reminded me of About Time which I watched quite recently . I liked it because it was quirky and had time travel in it which is always entertaining . I don't know that it would be a cult classic though as it seemed fairly mainstream but entertaining at the same time. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintnextlifetime Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) At the time of it's release , l thought The Shinning was a mainstream movie per the amount of folk that went to see it . I imagine that it has developed into a cult movie over the years . . l remember back in the 9ts , that anytime The Shinning was shown on the telly it would be the subject of discussion the next day at work and it was always interesting to hear the different theories then. . On this day in 1979 , Quadrophenia was released. .now there is a cult movie. . Edited November 2, 2017 by saintnextlifetime edited by Tom and MGM for historical accuracy. .

I've been in the Brighton Alley where Phil Daniels got it on with Leslie Ash. Yeah , l know other guys that have been there and they mentioned just how small the area actually is . Apparently , the area is now the back of a Chinese , fast-food outlet. . Ham Yard , home of the original Scene Club ,is also a bit of a disappointment . . The bit about the Shinning footage in Blade Runner ; was that not mentioned in another thread ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted October 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) The comedy genius that is Chris Morris has a new fillum out next week! Always funny without feeling the need to play it safe his new fillum is about the FBI framing an idealistic preacher on terrorism charges. http://www.liveforfilm.com/2019/10/08/the-day-shall-come-chris-morris-talks-about-his-new-film/ Edited October 8, 2019 by Bud the Baker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antrin Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 I was at JUDY on Monday evening. Predictable tosh with some great songs. Renee Zellweger was brilliant at impersonating Judy Garland but, apart from that, I think the fillum could be called ‘cult’... if that word was spelled differently.

Bud the Baker Posted January 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) Jojo Rabbit Quote A World War II satire that follows a lonely 10-y-o German boy named Jojo whose world view is turned upside down when he discovers his single mother is hiding a young Jewish girl in their attic. Aided only by his imaginary friend, a childish Adolf Hitler, Jojo must confront his blind nationalism. Laughed, cried & thoroughly enjoyed it. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2584384/ Edited January 8, 2020 by Bud the Baker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antrin Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 I Wisnae sure about this one. i don’t like weans (in real life or in fillums) and this seemed too whimsy about serious stuff.
