What makes a movie "cult" statis?

What about Tron? Or maybe Legend and Willow, but I think those are more well-known.

What? No mention of Buckaroo Banzai? Or Big Trouble in Little China? Or Escape from New York?

I thought everyone loved that.

I know it was a *huge* hit in my household. ^_^

NME you babble to much.

Anyway, what about the Lone Wolf and Cub live action flicks? There were 6 of'em and they're hard as shit to find. There's even a board game, but almost no one over here knows about'em. All i can find are fansubs. That'd count as cult following for a flick right?

The movie Empire Records is considered a "cult sensation" ... but unlike the matrix only a few people ive actually talked to knew about it, but the ones who had ( like me) tottally adored it so meh, i am still confused as to what a cult classic is so probably its a movie ( like stated above ) that has a group of close followers who adored it:?:

I thought Empire Records sucked. I don't recall it being a cult sensation. I guess I don't hang around the right cults.

I think it was the first movie whose soundtrack came out before the movie was actually released in theatres though.

The first two Killer Tomato movies and the Super Mario Bros. movie, check the second quote in my signature.

Buckaroo Banzai is pretty entertaining. Escape from New York was kind of cool, especially with the modified Ingram MAC-10.

Tron is by far one of my favorites. But what about The Last Starfighter? It was the first film to use CGI extensively (about 29 minutes of it). If you haven't seen this film, go rent it right now! It's awesome.

That movie is one of the best ones EVER! Last Starfighter. Super Mario Bros was lame. John Leguizamo's girlfriend said it best when she said "Oh yeah? Well Super Mario Brothers sucked!".
