7. The perfect recipe. Take a long running successful staqe play,
then run in a couple of Hollywood stars, and let rip. There's a light, my friends, there's a light. :)

3. Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Saw Hair on Broadway way back when (March, 1969), never saw the movie.

Then there's Eraserhead. I could only stand to watch it once because it's so creepy, but it's certainly... distinctive.

10. definitely Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
One of Johnny Depp's finest performances. And the movie was spot on with the book.

22. My wife made me watch that when we were first dating
I don't think it had anything to do with the fact that I was 20 and she was 27 when we met...

She also made me watch the original Last House on the Left - and was mad at me for laughing through it...

And when I say "made" I mean we would skip class at tech school and go to her house and "watch movies"...

lol

'Spinal Tap' Tops Cult Movie List

Seminal rock'n'roll documentary spoof This Is Spinal Tap has topped a new poll of cult movie hits. The 1984 Rob Reiner movie about an ill-fated rock group, starring Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer and Michael McKean, beat The Rocky Horror Picture Show and 1932's Freaks to claim top spot in the Top 50 Cult Movies list in influential American magazine Entertainment Weekly.

Notable omissions include A Clockwork Orange, Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, Life Of Brian, Straw Dogs and Reservoir Dogs.

The top ten is:
1. This Is Spinal Tap (1984);
2. The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975);
3. Freaks (1932);
4. Harold & Maude (1971);
5. Pink Flamingos (1972);
6. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974);
7. Repo Man (1984);
8. Scarface (1983);
9. Blade Runner (1982);
10. The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
