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.… (mehr)

The Rough Guide to Cult Movies (2001) by Rough Guide. I love movies. Good movies mostly, but there are some stinkers in my collection of DVDs and Blu-Rays. But this book is a wonderful guide to those “good, bad and very weird indeed” films that may have slipped by unnoticed by our collective knowledge. But here in one pocket sized edition (it is small in shape, but an inch thick and has very small print) are the flicks you might not have heard of but which might satisfy your itch for that next film you HAVE to see.
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! ( )

Listing of movies till 2004 divided into about 35 categories. 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 ( )

This is a fun book and handy at your local video rental shop, when you are not sure what to see. ( )

Erste Worte

The movies, where one man's masterpiece is always liable to be someone else's Howard The Duck, is a world where no opinion is final and deciding what makes a film 'cult' can be as intellectually arbitrary as deciding if a film is 'good' or 'bad'.
