Makes clear how many good English language (or subtitled) movies have been made over the years. This guide makes sound recommendations by putting an "admission ticket" to those films which are not to be missed. Cult films are defined as those films which have the ability to draw fans together and invite discussion over even the minutest aspects among the audience viewers. Lots of snubs, but overall basic agreement. Some are: Willy Wonka (1971) Edward Scissorhands Enter the Dragon The Princess Bride Monty Python and the Holy Grail The Seventh Seal Singing in the Rain It's a Wonderful Life Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
The Rough Guide to Cult Movies offers a blend of essential trivia and informed opinion as it takes you on a tour of the most compellingly weird -- and weirdly compelling -- films in the world. Whether you're a paid-up member of The Big Lebowski fan club or just looking for a night in with an interesting DVD, The Rough Guide to Cult Movies is the ultimate guide to the world's most memorable films. The Rough Guide to Cult Movies selects cinema's most compelling triumphs: films that are brilliant, intriguing, or just plain bizarre; from action flicks to zombie films, by way of nuns, yakuza, musicals, and mutations. You'll find expert, pithy reviews of more than 1,500 movies, with forgotten legends like Charlie Chan at the Opera and contemporary classics like There Will Be Blood, plus filmmakers' picks of their favorite cult movies, in their own words. There are good movies and there are bad movies -- and then there are cult movies. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

The films are broken into categories ranging from action/adventure to zombies. If your taste runs to sci-fi, serial killers, musicals, 3-D, kitsch, buddy movies or block busters, there is a category for you. I will not start listing the names of the films included, just keep in mind this guide is 20 years old now so newer flicks will not be included. That being said, most of the films thought of as “Cult” would by necessity have to be twenty years or more in the public realm so as to have proved their status. Rocky Horror, included here, being one very notable exception, although it did take a while for even that classic to gain traction among the viewing public.
This is a nice easy to use guide for many well known films and some obscure titles (Oblomov anyone?) that will make your day. In a good or bad way I can’t say, but you will be amused. Each entry also lists the director, top actors in the film, year of release and a short blurb on why this film should be considered a cult classic.
This book has been indispensable to me during the past year of the pandemic and it will remain by my remote controls for a long time to come. And this is just the first of two Cult Movie books by Rough Guide! ( )
