3. Heavy Metal
I guess I'll start by mentioning that this film is not for everybody. Also I realize that Heavy Metal contains just as much dark fantasy as it does science fiction. While it may be a far cry from Titan A.E., Heavy Metal is another example of an animated film made for adults that no one is sure what to do with. Featuring the voices of many talented actors including John Candy in numerous roles and Harold Ramis as an alien pothead this movie is a bit more than just a bizarre trip. However, it is a trip worth taking at least once and will give you insight into a gem of pop culture that fading from the public view. A couple years ago director David Fincher was in talks to make a new Heavy Metal movie with James Cameron and Guillermo Del Toro. Now the rights have passed to Robert Rodriguez. Whoever does decide to make it is still taking an incredible gamble. Animation is very expensive and time consuming. It would be a lot of effort to bring something back to the screen when the original property practically defined the term cult classic.
