I’ve been thinking for some time now about movies I want to introduce my teenage and twenty-something daughters to — and we’ve already been through a bunch of great ones like Terminator, Blade Runner, Breakfast Club and Groundhog Day. But then I thought about some of the great lesser-known cult movies, the weird or bizarre or campy ones that I remember from my youth.<\/p>\n
So I asked my Twitter followers about their favorite cult films, and got some great responses (I also triggered a kind of Twitter war over whether quoting people’s tweets using the new embed feature is rude and\/or noisy, but I will leave that for another day). Here’s a list of the top 50 suggestions \u2014 I didn’t include every one, but they all appear in the tweets I’ve embedded below. Thanks to everyone who contributed.<\/p>\n
