Wishbone: What, two pages of cult film thread, and nobody mentioned The Rocky Horror Picture Show yet? Shame on you!
Sorry about that; I only just saw this thread. *hangs head in shame*
Wishbone: Love that movie, by the way. Have gone to see it dressed as Frank N Furter on many occasions.
I've seen the movie so often that I still have it memorized, and have often gone as Eddie & Dr. Scott.* (We did our own floor show every week; so at one time or another, I've covered every male role except Frank N. Furter.)
I honestly don't know whether to hold RHPS and Renaissance Faires more responsible for my lifelong love of cosplay; they both kind of happened around the same time for me.
*Fun fact: In the original play, those roles were meant to be played by the same actor; for the Broadway production, that happened to be Meat Loaf (who played only Eddie in the film).
Also: Richard O'Brien, who both wrote
Rocky Horror and starred as Riff Raff, voices the father on Disney's
Phineas & Ferb. As a result, there are casual RHPS references in quite a few episodes of the TV show. (
Case in point.)
Matewis: Mostly I love weird and beautifully done animation, eg... the always badass film
Heavy Metal. The only other Ralph Bakshi film that I've tried is
, but I didn't find much to like about it. <a href="http://www.gog.com/forum/general/cult_film_fan_thread/post6" class="link_arrow"></a></div> <i>Heavy Metal</i> was another favorite; I've even seen the not-as-well-done [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_Metal_2000]sequel, aka
F.A.K.K.2. ('Course, I've also seen the unquestionably godawful
<i>Rocky Horror</i> sequel, so there's that.)
Wizards was and is a mind trip, start to finish. Everyone should see this movie at least once, preferably while in an altered state of consciousness.
