10 Movies That Should Have Cult Followings By Now
Never heard of these flicks? Well, you should've by now.
Whether it was poor marketing or just not enough attention from the media, there are a lot of great films out there that went unnoticed during their box office runs. However, after only a few years these deserving films eventually find their audiences and earn the title of cult classic, thus achieving the appreciation that they deserve. Movie goers are familiar with this term, as well as several of the films that fall in this category, but there are in fact several great films that have not necessarily found their cult followings as of yet. It typically takes a few years for a cult following to develop for certain films. Brian De Palmas Scarface is considered a box office bomb and was panned by most critics around the time of its release, but a few decades have gone by and its now considered one of the best crime dramas of all time. David Finchers masterpiece Fight Club was marketed towards a specific male demographic and its US box office run brought in just over half of its $63 million budget, but only a few months later the film went on to generate $100 million from home video. Point is it can take a while for cult followings to truly develop, sometimes longer than others. There are in fact several forgotten films that are deserving of the cult status but continue to fly under the radar several years later. Some of these films still have the potential to blossom into cult favorites in a few years time, but for others it almost seems hopeless and makes you wonder if theyll ever find their appreciative audiences.
