    "The Ghoul", a late night horror host in the Detroit area during the 70s and 80s, used to love this one. When he passed away earlier this year it was screened at a memorial for him.

    Swimming with Sharks is an amazing film. A true classic that not many know. And twisted.

    In the Company of Men is MORE twisted, but fascinating. Hard to watch at times, although I’m sure there are some out there that get off on it.

    Quoted from TheLaw:

    Sorry but chase scene in bullet is maybe the most over rated thing in cinema history, that car is moving like 15mph.
    Any Friedkin chase is better.

    One of the cars loses 5 hubcaps during the chase!

    Fun movie. You got the cardboard colored glasses to wear so you could see the ghosts.

    Quoted from Anonymouse:

    I want to like this thread but I'm getting too many 90s HBO flashbacks.

    What does HBO stand for?

    "Hey, Beastmaster is on!"

    What does TBS stand for?

    "The Beastmaster Station."

    A lot of great stuff in this thread. A lot of stuff I would not call classic also.

    Here is a good one. A Clint Eastwood / Lee Marvin Western Musical.

    hey, i just thought of something......can a "classic" be "somewhat obscure"? Aren't those kinda polar opposites?

    Somewhat obscure for a reason.

    You wouldn't have thought so if you were hanging in my garage watching it with the boys when it was on. We were cheering it on!

    How about the 6 green volkswagons?

    Do you think there might be a chance the cars were doing at least 20 mph?

    This, my friend, is why they call them "cult classics"

    "B" grade movies might be another description for cult classics. Hell, some of them might even be dipping their toes into the "C" level of quality

    #336 4 years ago

    I'm still waiting on that remake of "Cockfighter".

    #337 4 years ago

    Many classic movies that were well known in their time, have become more obscure with the passage of time.

    Exactly.

    You should start a poll- "What is a Maltese Falcon?"

    A quick show of hands: How many remember who Michael Landon was? I know he was in some cowboy show.

    The Car reminds me of this one.

    Real or not. Looked inflated.
