Question The 34 Greatest Cult Movies Of All Time
What do you make of the Cult Movies feature on the Total Film website? Happy with the choices? Should Donnie Darko have made the list?

Most of these are fair picks, or obvious choices but seeing Mama Mia on it offends me.

I would not have chosen Fire Walk With Me over Lost Highway, which I think is very deserving of inclusion.

Like Ancient says it's the cult film of recent times, on this side of the pond at least, which leads me to wonder whether TF left it off deliberately just to make everyone howl: Where's Donnie Darko??!

sort of thing they do.

Fankoo for the backup young cat. Another notable exception is The Crow, which i really am surprised never made the count.

Totally agree with you on this Kiba.Although most of lynch's films fall into the cult catagory Lost Highway is perhaps the most accessable. Certainly the soundtrack is very much a cult classics mix with the likes of Rammstein etc. contributing.
Fire WalK With Me only really exists and comes into its own as an abstraction of Twin Peaks and as such is a curious pick given that there is so much of Lynch's ouvre to choose from.

I agree with all of your post, Ancient One. It is a curious pick although it's great to see Eraserhead one of the most unique cult films of all time given its due.
Another accessible Lynch film - accessible for him anyway - Mulholland Drive also would have made a better choice.

The Lost Highway soundtrack is simply one of the best, a great compilation.

We need a Lynch thread.
