After just having a talk with a friend on twitter about the incredibly great killer ant flick Phase IV (trailer), I'm wanting to find some more old gems, and I'm talking the cream of the crop. Some that come to mind are Deathdream (trailer) and Zero Population Growth (trailer).

What are some of your favorite old cult flicks? Sound off below!

Metropolis - Fritz Lang

Posted by: Anonymous | November 20, 2009 08:26:42 pm | permalink

Oooo. This should make for a great must watch list.

I'm kind of partial to Phantom of the Paradise. Like it much more than Rocky Horror.

The Dark Backward. Filthiest movie ever and also somehow pretty.

Posted by: olaaaa | November 20, 2009 08:46:39 pm | permalink

Godzilla vs Megalon (godzilla doing a jig, shadow boxing, and floating through space in a bublle..what more do you want), and Tales from Gimli Hospital. Guy Maddin's first feature film.

Daughter of Darkness (1948)
Features the first female serial killer character to ever grace the screen in the UK. :)

Alice in Wonderland (1966) BBC version

Accumulator 1 (1994) - an amazing film but incredibly obscure. definitely worth a watch if you can find it.

Olda is tired, exhausted, his life force sucked nearly dry. Fortunately a mysterious healer teaches him how to recharge his energy by tuning into nature, art, people, and sex. Yet it seems that somewhere out there is a deranged spirit world where Olda’s hungry doppelganger lives by absorbing the energy of his human counterpart. And he’s not the only one… To find out why our hero must wield an arsenal of TV remotes and keep a cartload of timber handy for mortal combat with the ravenous of the nether-dimension, tune your mind to this science-fiction spectacle. You will never view Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (or going to the dentist) the same way again.
