I'm a bit of a Film buff, and do enjoy a good "Road Movie"
"Badlands" is on tonight, BBC 2 at 12.20 and well worth a watch, 1973, and starring Martin Sheene, and Sissy Spacek. Its a great starting point for this genre of Cinema :cool:
Enjoy

Listen to your parents and teachers. They got a line on most things, so don't treat em like enemies. There's always an outside chance you can learn something. Try to keep an open mind. Try to understand the viewpoints of others. Consider the minority opinion. But try to get along with the majority of opinion once it's accepted. Of course Holly and I have had fun, even if it has been rushed. And uh, so far a good sign, hadn't got caught. Excuse the grammar.

Two of my favourite 'cult' films have to be '2 lane blacktop' and 'paris texas'. I love how quite, slow and haunting these style of films are. Big open spaces, little dialogue and no real story line - lovely. I would also like to use this to highlight another film you should all watch, 'brokeback mountain', the cinematography is absolutely spectacular! Before you write a response to this could you please think 'Am i going to look like a homophobic or is this a genuine critique of the film'.
Can anyone else recomend me any big, open, nothing films.

Your next film Sam, should be "Electra glide in blue" :cool:

For empty try Michael Mann films - LA Takedown and then Heat (which is a bigger budget remake effectively).
For weirdness check out Waking Life and A Scanner Darkly
Then Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas
Donnie Darko is good, but rather too clever for its own good.
Then pretty much anything with a Terry Gilliam directing credit.
Oh and Bullitt and probably lots of other stuff on the shelf in my living room that my wife didn't buy. :grin:

I find many cult films a disappointment to be honest, like Fear and Loathing - amusing at first but bored as fook by half way through. Pulp Fiction, that one about the guy with the bolt gun. Yawn.

It's one of those film's everyone should watch, apocalypse now, full metal jacket and the thin red line are also film's I would recommend that everyone watch.

not sure if it would fall into the 'cult' or 'road-movie' categories, but it is ludicrously entertaining and has an awesome soundtrack: HEAVY METAL
based on the 70's american comic/magazine.

American Graffiti - made before George Lucas was famous and starred unknowns such as Harrison Ford, Richard Dreyfuss & Ron Howard. Made in 73 in depicts the last night before leaving town for college in 1962 from different points of view.
Great cars, great soundtrack, great fun.

would go with stuff like the getaway mcqueen/mcgraw [best scene with the winchester and 00 buck], sharkeys machine with burt reynolds playing a serious role.
kellys heroes for a bit of comedy/easy watching [ im eating some cheese, drinking wine and catching rays]
also of course life of brian
