Top 10 Best Cult Movies Ever

Summer blockbusters are great and everything, but now that the summers over, looking back, how many of those summer movies would you actually watch again, in the comfort of your own home? If you’re like me, the answer is next to none. For me, there’s nothing quite like a good cult movie in those empty months between holidays when there’s nothing in the theater… one of those truly strange movies that you can watch again and again, but no matter how many times you watch it, you still can’t believe what you’re seeing.


Ten points if you can guess whether that's a weird chick or a weird dude in this here photo.

Since it can be hard to find the diamonds in the rough at times, so we went to the trouble of compiling a list of the ten best cult movies for you to check out:

#10 The Stuff


Some kid in a bizarre Jello Pudding accident.

In a sort of bastardized commentary on American consumer culture, everybody goes wild for a new food product called “The Stuff”. What they do know is that it is delicious and nutritious. You can eat as much of The Stuff as you want without having to worry about your weight. What they don’t know is that The Stuff is actually an alien substance being marketed for it’s highly addictive properties that will eventually take over the host body like a parasite, turning the user into a zombie!

B-Movie clichés: Exploding guts, pod people, paranoid kid, plucky detective, kung-fu brothers, psychopathic Vietnam vet, zombies.

WTF quote: The Stuff: Are you eating it or is it eating you?

#9 Sgt. Kabukiman, NYPD


I'm so being that for Halloween. You better not copy me, I'm serious.

Troma is one of the most prolific manufacturers of awesomely bad cult movies, from such classics as the “Toxic Avenger” to “Class of Nuke ‘Em High”. But my personal favorite has always been the legendary cop-action film, Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD. This film recounts the story of a loser detective that receives the powers of a dying kabuki master, and who must use said powers to fight the forces of evil and score babes. The Vapors’ song “Turning Japanese” was made for this movie. (Figuratively, not actually).

B-Movie clichés: Racial insensitivity, tits, plucky detective, sexy sidekick, evil adversary, exploding cars, climactic showdown.

WTF quote: Sgt. Kabukiman: I like a dog-faced monkey that has an appreciation for expensive sports cars.
