- inactive, on 09/18/2008, -23/+203Napoleon Dynamite summed up the high school experience perfectly without glorifying it and filling it up with perfect sex, perfect athletes and perfect people all dancinging in perfect synchonization and having the most perfect never ending party. I hate movies like that and there are plenty of them.
ND was different, not great, just different and thats the best thing about it. - Powerfan5000, on 09/18/2008, -121/+278Napoleon Dynamite was not a good movie. Sorry.
- DrCrankenstein, on 09/18/2008, -3/+111The title should be "lamest cult followings," not the lamest movies. Several of the movies (Clockwork, Christmas...) are not lame on their own. They're brilliant movies. It's the people who walk around quoting Napoleon Dynamite, thinking Donnie Darko blew up their world and makes them an hip/eccentric film critic, or the asshats who started public fight clubs that suck.
- rl41, on 09/19/2008, -2/+95Fight Club is such a horribly misunderstood movie... it's almost like some people intentionally ignore the themes pushed into their faces.
Then again, maybe it's just idiot proof. - sillygato, on 09/18/2008, -4/+92Why isn't Superbad on this list? Every 12 year old boy on the internet seems to have some variation of McLovin' as his internet username.
- inactive, on 09/19/2008, -3/+90The digg title: 7 Good movies with the most annoying cult followings
Title of the article: 7 Lamest movies with cult followings
Anyone see the error here? Especially since all of the movies on this list are amazing except for one. - revicon, on 09/18/2008, -4/+82ummm... rocky horror anyone????
- dbalaski, on 09/18/2008, -1/+70A little mis-information about CLockwork Orange:
From the Wikipedia Article:
At the time, it was widely believed that the copycat attacks were what led Kubrick to withdraw the film from distribution in the United Kingdom. However, in a television documentary made after Kubrick's death, his widow Christiane confirmed rumours that Kubrick had withdrawn A Clockwork Orange on police advice after threats were made against Kubrick and his family (the source of the threats was not discussed). That Warner Bros. acceded to Kubrick's request to withdraw the film is an indication of the remarkable relationship Kubrick had with the studio, particularly the executive Terry Semel. - Wargalas, on 09/19/2008, -0/+61Come on! Tell us! The suspense is killing me! :)
- SeventhSon, on 09/18/2008, -13/+61You have no idea how irritation Napoleon Dynamite was. I live a few miles away from Preston, Idaho (where the film was set). It made high school much, much worse than I ever thought possible. Guess what everyone running for class president did...
- inactive, on 09/19/2008, -1/+47Most people completely missed the point of Fight Club
Douche: Man, Fight Club is the best movie ever
Me: Yeah, totally!
Douche 2: Agreed, best action movie ever
Me: * ugh *
A lot of people completely missed a lot of the themes in the movie, and I'm not just talking about its views on the media and yuppyism. There were some deep themes about fatherhood, parenting and relationships which many people didn't recognize. - mistergoomba, on 09/19/2008, -1/+43it may not have a cult following, but quoting napoleon dynamite was not nearly as annoying as the people who quote borat
- inactive, on 09/19/2008, -9/+50I don't know what your high school was like.....but mine was not like that.
- leif77, on 09/19/2008, -3/+42Fight Club is the movie that made me a movie lover. It made me look into movies a lot more and it was the first real dark comedy that i actually 'got'.
Edit: It also made me a huge Palahniuk fan. - Kohaxx, on 09/19/2008, -2/+36Experiences may vary, but I could definitely see some of my high school experiences in ND. The frustration, the lack of money for decent clothes, etc.
It was refreshing at the time because every high school movie glorifies the experience for all those who loved high school and failed at life afterwards, as opposed to those who had a miserable time in high school and had much better things to look forward to.
Then it got quoted to death... - triferlinks, on 09/19/2008, -1/+28by the time they turn 14 itll have been forgotten cuz apatow's made 20 movies since then.
- evilesttoast, on 09/19/2008, -4/+30Wow, high school wasnt like ND at all for me...
- doiveo, on 09/19/2008, -0/+24Perhaps the Digger has more sense than the author.
woah! I just blew my own mind. - algaeturd, on 09/19/2008, -1/+25group masturbation? Gather eggs at hatcheries? Draw really bad images of animals mixed and matched?
- Visual77, on 09/19/2008, -0/+23Why does the article headline say "7 Lamest Movies With Cult Followings", but the description says "Here are the top five films where the audience has started to bury their respected favorites" and the digg article says "7 Good Movies With the Most Annoying Cult Followings"?
Are there 7 movies or 5? Are they good or lame? - moo113, on 09/19/2008, -21/+44Don't apologize, it was terrible.
- doiveo, on 09/18/2008, -3/+257 Good Movies With...
... here are the top five films where ...
Dropped two by the time the description was entered. - morningmatters, on 09/19/2008, -2/+24I don't get the anti-cult following people. If these movies remained obscure then the so called critics would claim to love it, but once the words start to spread and the movie becomes popular the same people would bash it. Who cares if other people like/hate the movie which you like? A good movie deserve to be watched and enjoyed by everyone.
The same goes for music too. It's lame when people say crap like, "I used to like that group but now I hate it because so many other people think their music is cool". - elfprince13, on 09/19/2008, -10/+32I'll think whatever I want about it. GOSH.
- Synova, on 09/19/2008, -1/+22They should have stopped with just Napoleon Dynamite.
- philberttheduck, on 09/19/2008, -2/+22WHY SO SERIOUS?
- SkinnyPuppy, on 09/19/2008, -0/+19And to top it all of the title on the webpage reads: "7 Lamest Movies With Cult Followings"
So is it "7 Good Movies..." or "...the top five films" or "...7 Lamest Movies"?
I'm soooooo confused. - cride11, on 09/19/2008, -1/+19irritation or irritating?
- lostprophet2159, on 09/19/2008, -2/+19This gets first place on my forthcoming 7 lamest 7 lamest lists - all of these movies are better than you, blogger
- PoonGnarfler, on 09/19/2008, -2/+19I've always had an affinity for Scarface fans, because many of them are so goddamn stupid. Especially all of the rap stars that flout how badass it is. Do they realize Tony dies in the end? And that the entire movie is basically an allegory of money not making happiness?
- whahaa, on 09/19/2008, -0/+16amazingly, the digg title is more accurate than the article title.
- SilentRamble42, on 09/19/2008, -1/+16Amazing movie, but if I hear one more person say "why so serious..."
- UncleRage, on 09/19/2008, -1/+16Nah... just the dopes that refuse to acknowledge that the movie was simply a very good interpretation of an even better book.
Fight Club succeeded where Naked Lunch could not. Of course, maybe that's a good thing (not that I think Naked Lunch was a bad book...). - brycelb, on 09/19/2008, -0/+15nice
- Boing, on 09/19/2008, -0/+15No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time.
- inactive, on 09/19/2008, -0/+14You blame Donnie Darko but neglect to mention Nightmare Before Christmas.. for ushering in... the emo movement.
(The skeleton shirt and sweatshirt was a reference to E.T. btw) - hsunav, on 09/19/2008, -0/+14Top 10 reasons why this writer is a *****
1) ***** - inactive, on 09/19/2008, -1/+15The nerds are savagely digging you down in their captain's chair armrest keyboard.
- dafragsta, on 09/19/2008, -0/+13They're like the scratch on the roof of your mouth that would heal if only you could stop tonging it.
- somesthetic, on 09/19/2008, -0/+13I agree with all of those, but I hate Scarface gangstas the most.
- drunkirish, on 09/19/2008, -1/+14Haven't you ever been inside a Hot Topic?
- fhornplayer, on 09/19/2008, -0/+12I hated it when I first saw it. I thought "This is dumb".
- airwalke, on 09/19/2008, -4/+16The problem with Napoleon Dynamite is that it became a victim of its own hype. I first saw it because of the trailer, and thought it was great. Then the word started to spread about how funny it was, everyone was quoting it, and everyone else went in expecting this knee-slap comedy romp that would leave them howling.
It was funny, but subtly so. There are those who liked it, and there are those who didn't, get the ***** over it. - inactive, on 09/19/2008, -6/+18Where's the Dark Knight?
- klitzbtc, on 09/19/2008, -6/+17This list ***** blows, great movies, who cares what the fans have "done" to it.
I like talking about the ideas expressed in Donnie Darko, Clockwork Orange (2001, for the mention).
Fight Club might as well be my Bible (not because the fighting).
The Nightmare before christmas is an epic classic that I could watch 100 times a year.
And I love nothing more than to find another Monty Python addict at a party or bar whom I can spend the entire time with quoting movie lines that make me crack up and while everyone else just shakes their head. - brycelb, on 09/19/2008, -0/+11You're out of your element dumpster.
- rnelsonee, on 09/19/2008, -1/+12Exactly. The consumerism was more like a setting (and the fight clubs a small plot device) -- the story was about relationships. At it's heart it was a story about Jack and Marla. It doesn't take a film student to see this (I'm certainly not one) - the main character tells you this in the very beginning of the movie!
"I realize that all of this, the gun, the bombs, the revolution, all have to do with a girl named Marla Singer..." [main movie begins].
I mean, I love the rest of it as well - it's probably my favorite movie, even with it's fun jokes and super-violence. But don't deny that Marla is a real character, not some extra female on screen. The book obviously focused more on her as well.
so, yeah, that's all. I've said all this only once before on the internet -- on digg -- and it got modded down. Oh well. - inactive, on 09/19/2008, -0/+10Yeah, that movie really glorifies drugs.
You're a ***** moron. - jtbell04, on 09/19/2008, -1/+11There's sex in highschool? This is news to me...
- inactive, on 09/19/2008, -0/+10Prolly ridin Bleeker's bony bod.
