Entertainment Weekly just came out with the Top 50 Cult Movies of all time! Some I’ve seen or heard about....others, I don’t have a clue what they are! Here’s the list!

1. This is Spinal Tap (know the guys but haven’t seen it. Don’t know why it’s #1)
2. The Rocky Horror Picture Show (of course everybody should know this one, especially after seeing Tim Curry in drag! I’m disappointed it’s not #1!)
3. Freaks (Made in 1932...have no clue)
4. Harold and Maude
5. Pink Flamingos
6. The Texas Chain-Saw Massacre (predecessor to Friday the 13th/Halloween movies)
7. Repo Man
8. Scarface (Never seen it but know the line, “Say Hello to my little friend!”)
9. Blade Runner (Han Solo stars in this one)
10. The Shawshank Redemption (GREAT MOVIE.....one of my favorites)
11. Five Deadly Venoms
12. Plan 9 From Outer Space (I heard this one was horrible in every way...I would like to see it)
13. Brazil
14. Eraserhead
15. Faster, Pussy-Cat! Kill! Kill! (With a name like that, who wouldn’t want to see it!)
16. The Warriors
17. Dazed and Confused (Stars Ben Affleck and Matthew McConaughey)

23. Akira (I have it on DVD.....my boss gave it to me...didn’t see what was so special about it)
24. The Toxic Avenger (BBBaaadddd!)

26. Stranger Than Paradise
27. Dawn of the Dead
28. The Wiz
29. Clerks (This made me a Kevin Smith fan! 38 DICKS!!!)
30. The Harder they Come (Sounds like a Porn flick)

32. Re-Animator
33. Grey Gardens
34. The Big Lebowski (What the Hell???)
35. Withnail and I
36. Showgirls (My God.....Elizabeth Berkley from Saved by the Bell to Stripper! Talk about a jump to stardom!)
37. A Bucket of Blood
38. They Live (three words...Rowdy Roddy Piper.....anybody remember him?)
39. The Best of Everything
40. Barbarella (I have to admit...Jane Fonda was hot!!! Then Vietnam came)
41. Heathers
42. Rushmore
43. The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (I have to admit I have this one on DVD too)

46. Aguirre, The Wrath of God
47. Walking and Talking
48. The Decline of Western Civilization II: The Metal Years

2. Tremors (Okay...this is my favorite)
3. The Goonies (Hell, after that I wanted to be a Goonie myself!!)
4. Spaceballs (Ludicrous Speed!!)
5. Monty Python and the Holy Grail (We are the Knights that say....Ni..Ni!)
