Films represented at these showcases became cult classics because while not available in the mainstream they still had a venue. These days with technology streaming any movie you can think of, the cult classic can get lost in the fray. The following films are cult classics because of their small but dedicated audience. They are good films, lost in genre or left off of mainstream advertising budgets. Still they are quality movies with a following;

Plan 9 From Outer Space – 1959
While many people have heard of this its better than people think. Ed Wood offers Bella Lugosi in this classic genre mix up.

Pink Flamingos – 1972
John Waters, director and cult master creates characters you just know are real. (Not family appropriate, watch when the kids are away).

White Heat – 1949
James Cagney is well know, but not for one of his very best films. This intense dramatic gangster film sets the precedent for all others.

Once Upon the time in the West – 1968
Magnificent Henry Fonda, killer mad man. You won’t believe it until you see it.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is the undisputed leader and nobody can say them quite the way he can. I bet you’ll remember these:

“I-LL BE BACK’
The king of all movie quotes this one liner came straight out of the mouth of Arnold in “Terminator 1′ making it the most used move line ever.

“HASTA LA VISTA, BABY’
Here is another quote that is widely repeated and well known for Schwarzenegger. It again came out of the “Terminator’ franchise, making “Terminator 2′ another hit movie for Arnold Schwarzenegger.

“GET TO THE CHOPPER!’
The movie “Predator’ gave Schwarzenegger this popular quote that is repeated over and over still today and remains a classic in the world of one liners.

“IT-S NOT A TUMOR’
“Kindergarten Cop’ showed Arnold as an undercover cop posing as a kindergarten teacher in which he responds to a child-s complaint of a headache. Enduring movie with great lines!

“CONSIDER THIS A DIVORCE’
The perfect line straight from “Total Recall’! When you need that one line as you walk out of a relationship well, here it is. Thanks Arnold!

These films bring us to life.

The underdog has always been a major subject in sports movies. One of these all time underdogs was “Rocky’. How many of us cried and cheered with Rocky Balboa? We traveled the road with him, from his beginnings to his triumphs to his downfalls and his return again.

“Hoosiers’ is another of the underdog films. In this movie we are dealing with a team, not an individual. You can still feel the pain and the glory for more than one.Didn-t catch that? This explains it.

As much as there is the seriousness in the sports arena, there is the comedy. One of the all time great comedic sports film has to be “Caddyshack’. Released over 30 years ago, this is one of those movies that can still be quoted and re-watched over and over.

Not quite a direct sports film, “Jerry Maguire’ introduced us to the business side of the sports world. The emotions are here too, but coming from a different angle.

For those who think sports is always about the money ” “Chariots of Fire’ is a must see. This is what makes a champion.
