The 50 Best Cult Movies
I was shocked how many of these I have seen – and not shocked by the fact that I liked pretty much every one that I had seen. Out of 50 there are only three that I have never watched.
On the other hand, I can think of a lot of cult movies not on this list. These are all mostly fairly mainstream. I have been well beyond this lineup – It has nothing by Gaspar Noé (I would definitely put Enter the Void on the list), no Alejandro Jodorowsky (El Topo, The Holy Mountain), no Synecdoche, New York (have to have something by Charlie Kaufman)… I could go on.
But I won’t.

I’ve been learning a lot about the stock market because of the GameStop shenanigans too. And cool Prera! I’ve been meaning to add that (plus the 1.0 stub) to my collection.
Thanks for the comment!
The GameStop story pulls in so many themes in modern life – especially the battle of the powerful elite against a collection of riffraff organized by modern electronics.
The Prera is arguably my favorite carry pen – small, but well proportioned when posted – a reliable writer with the usual great Pilot nibs. I lost one in New Orleans (left it in a restaurant where I was writing) and only recently replaced it. I like the solid colors more than the clear demonstrators. I think you have to order the solid colors from Japan now.
