I'd consider both Pulp Fiction & Reservoir Dogs cult hits. Reservoir Dogs is probably more of a cult movie than Pulp Fiction cause it's not as well known.

Oh and

Heh yep it's Fight Club. Oh about the twist. Even though it was a common one it was extremely well done. There were no clues to it and it didn't feel cheap.

The beauty of the twist is that there were huge clues to it but they were done in such a way that you don't notice until you've seen the whole film and are watching it again.

I really try to understand how people can like movies like Fight Club, Kill Bills (plotless crap), QT (Maniac movies), Donnie Darko etc...
I watched Fight Club and at like half of the movie i started to see that im waisting my time, this movie is 1 big big big big mess. Acting good, Plot = Hmmm, i didnt really see a plot Neutral There is something plot like in that movie but its just a meeeessssss , it looks like the director was smoking a lot, and he was very high when he directed it. Same with Producers.
Donnie Darko - After finishing watching it I was like.... Ok ? What did i just saw ? This movie starts ok, but it doesnt have an end, Like David Lynch movies ex. Mullholand Drive and Lost Highway, those movies are movies for psychos. I doubt lynch knew what he was directing.
Kill Bill 1 and 2 = Hmmm, can i saw top 10 worst list ? no....... TOP 3 WORST LIST! Dammmmz This movie doesnt have a plot, lets summarize: A bride is coming back from a coma and started to revange. Nice plot yo! If it would be like the 80's maybe it would be pretty original (which i doubt). But come on!!! Its 2004! (2002-2003 that time). Can't they get any more ideas ? Oh yea true, they cant Sad Thats why Hollywood is remaking everything now, Pink Panther, Taxi etc... By 2010 Hollywood will have only remakes.
Any QT movie is a voilence maniac shit, which everyone likes, and after that a kid takes a gun to school and shoots everyone, and the government is like why is that happening ?!?!?!? (ex. a dude went and killed a girl or soemthing and when he got caught he said that he though he was in the Matrix). I really dont understand what u find in Reservior dogs. Its another remake btw ...

dammmmmm! Will we see a good movie with a GOOD STRONG plot in the near future ? Sad Without that 1 vs 100 crap.

I know like 95% of u will say, hey Griffon GO $%#! yourself! QT OWNZ etc... I respect your taste and this is only my opinion. Sad

About Hitman: Movie (2007)
Vin Diesel is a hardcore gamer, and absolutely loves the Hitman series. For that reason I have faith that he wont destroy the movie.

Response: Well, Uwe Boll probably loved the Alone in the Dark games.

BTW, a film doesn't have to have a plot to be a good film. Kill Bill is a prime example of this - the reason why I like it is because of it's unique style. Donnie Darko has quite a deep plot but it's hard to understand unless you watch it a few times.

I dont see anything unique about kill bill, its a movie that anyone could write/direct. I dont see anything unique about 1 b!t$h killing 100 people!
You've got to agree that after soem time that killing are REALLY getting boring!
Donnie Darko = I think its a lil toooo deep, i think it went soooo deep that no one could ever find it. (same with Mullholand and Highway)

We are answering each other soo fast, better to chat on msn Wink

I don't think anyone except Tarantino could have done Kill Bill. You need to look past the plot of the film and understand that it is a very stylized film. It has a feel to it that no other film does. There's nothing unique about 1 bitch killing 100 people but there's definetely something unique about the way that scene was done.

I understand what you're saying about Donnie Darko but I quite like films which are very deep and need a bit of interpretation. I suppose it boils down to what you like and what you don't like.

Right on! man Smile

anyway to understand the term "Cult Movie",
We need to ask the *big* Dictionary...

http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Cult+movies

A cult film is a movie For other uses see film (disambiguation) This article should be merged with Cinema.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Film — also called movies, the cinema, the silver screen, moving pictures, motion pictures, photoplays, picture shows and flicks — is a field that encompasses motion pictures as an art form, or as part of the entertainment industry. Because film historically has been the primary medium for displaying moving images, academics often refer to this field as the study of film.
..... Click the link for more information. that attracts a small but devoted group of obsessive fans The term fan characterises one who has an intense, occasionally overwhelming and often irrational or uncritical admiration or like of a person, group of persons, work of art, idea, or trend. The word probably derives from the Latin fanaticus.
Collectively, fans may, especially if expressing interest in some organised or consistent manner, coalesce into fandom, be known as a fanbase or start a fan club, particularly when they are fans of music groups. Non-sports fans sometimes self-address as fen.
..... Click the link for more information. or one that has remained popular over successive years amongst a small group of followers. Often the film failed to achieve mainstream success on its original release, but this is not always the case. Sometimes the audience response to a cult film is somewhat different to what was intended by the film-makers, although usually a film that becomes "cult" started-out with unusual elements or subject matter.

A film reaches cult status due to an audience's relationship to the film. This makes the designation of cult status to a film difficult, however continued success amongst a subset of moviegoers many years after the film's original release is a key defining factor.
