    All of the Coen brothers movies are cult classics of a sort. Raising Arizona is an earlier one of theirs that is definitely a cult classic.

      Yeah, there are at so many other Coen brothers movies that they should watch (if they haven't already). "No Country for Old Men" is my favorite film ever; then there's "Fargo" (also with Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare who played the main nihilist); definitely "Raising Arizona" (John Goodman's first appearance out of at least 5 of their films and maybe my favorite Nicolas Cage performance); "True Grit" again with Jeff Bridges and also Matt Damon; "Barton Fink", which is also a cult classic (I think) and co-stars John Turturro (Jesus in this film) and John Goodman ... they're just amazing writers, directors, and editors (they also edit most of their films under a pseudonym).

    For a long time, Blade Runner 1982 with Harrison Ford was considered a cult classic. The cyberpunk and neo-noir genres owe a lot to its vision and scope. Although it has become more of a well-known and widely watched must-see film, especially with the success of the sequel, I will add that the Director's Cut or Final Cut are far superior to the original Theatrical Release. And it is de riguer for a reaction channel. You'll eventually get around to it.

Edgar and the Coens are two of the more "modern" directors I absolutely love. Oh, and while he's achieved huge success with 4 of the best sci-fi films of all time, Canadian auteur Denis Villenueve's earlier film, "Prisoners" is one of the best thrillers I've ever seen and my definitely favorite Hugh Jackman performance (sorry, Wolverine). Not sure if it's a cult classic but dear god it's great.

      That the film bombed at the box office is what you always hear, but the film grossed 47 million dollars worldwide on a budget of 15 million. The rule of thumb I've always heard is that a film breaks even when the box office gross reaches double the film's cost of production, so if that is the case, it would seem that the film was less a box office failure, and more of a modest finanicial success.

    "Where 'r ya goin', Dude?"
    "I'm going home, Donnie"
    "...Phone's ringin', Dude"
    "Thank you, Donnie"
    The Stranger (the narrator) was played by Sam Elliott. He's done a lot of movies. Lots of westerns, but other stuff too.
    If you haven't seen Tombstone, that's a great one.
    A bit of useless trivia: The very last person we see bowling before the end credits was the owner of the bowling alley.

    This is one of my all time favourite films. Incredible performances by absolutely everyone (although Philip Seymour Hoffman's protrayal of Brandt deserves special mention), tonally perfect dialogue, unbeatable soundtrack, and a tightly written story. And a great reaction from the pair of you.
    As for other cult classics to watch, here's a short sample:
    Big Trouble in Little China - A John Carpenter film starring Kurt Russell (but he isn't really the main character).
    The Lost Boys - Brat Pack Vampire movie.
    Blade Runner - Go for the Final Cut if you can. It's arguably the best version (there are many versions!) Classic Cyberpuink/sci fi.
    The Rocky Horror Picture Show - Rock musical comedy starring Tim Curry - Somewhat more "adult" themes and aesthetic.
    Monty Python and the Holy Grail/Life of Brian - Monty Python weirdness.
    Labyrinth - Jim Henson dark fantasy with Jennifer Connelly and David Bowie.
    The Breakfast Club - 80s John Hughes teen movie.
    Flash Gordon - 80s sci fi cheese with a soundtrack by Queen.
    The Terminator/Terminator 2 - Arnie's iconic role.

  • @WUStLBear82

    Genuinely a cult classic: _Harold and Maude_ (1971). At the time a critical and commercial failure, a dark comedy about an aimless and depressed young man who finds an elderly woman his kindred spirit; it took off with college students later in the '70s, finally made a profit in 1982, and is now revered. A more recent film I'm trying to do my part to turn into a cult classic by telling everyone I can about it: _The Opposite of Sex_ (1998). A dark comedy about a caustic, wisecracking teenage girl who runs away from home to look up an adult half-brother she's never met, and ends up turning his comfortable life into Hell.

    "Walk Hard" is one of the two or three best comedies of all-time, a top-10 best movie of all-time... I'm starting to learn that maybe it's a cult classic? I'd always been under the impression people knew it was one of the greatest movies of all-time, but I've been staggered recently by how many people seem to have not only not seen it, but haven't heard of it.

    • @SchulzEricT
      @SchulzEricT 5 месяцев назад +1

      "Lucky Number Slevin" and "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" are two great movies that might be cult or at least cult classic-adjacent. Both very well-written noir, very sharp and clever writing/dialogue, both with STACKED casts... both are funny too, although Slevin is maybe a bit more clever/funny while KKBB is outright laugh-out-loud funny... I think I like Slevin a bit better but KKBB may be the safer pick, a bit more broadly appealing than Slevin because of the humor, although I think both are really good, entertaining, fun, interesting movies... (both top-10 in my book; honestly, my top tier of movies is probably only about 8 and both of those movies - plus "Walk Hard", and "The Big Lebowski", and "The Princess Bride", plus "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" - definitely make that list)
      It's crazy to me that KKBB isn't just an outright popular movie; it's supposedly the movie that clinched RDJ as Iron Man, how have more people not gone back to discover it considering the MCU's popularity?
      Also, "Men Who Stare At Goats". Not a Coen bros movie but it really feels like one (but a bit better, IMO? Not a big Coen bros fan - they're talented, they make "good" movies, but outside of Lebowski, they don't quite hit my sweet spot, is all.) A really interesting movie, and kind of stealth feel-good despite it being a bit depressing too... Jeff Bridges essentially reprises his role as The Dude, Clooney doing his Coen bros-esque thing, the main character is played by an incredibly well-cast Ewan McGregor...

    This was easily one of the best reactions I've seen to this movie! You guys were great and really seemed to like the movie. Most people are a bit confused by it and many people are only lukewarm to it after the first watch, but you guys got it immediately. It's actually even better each time you watch it, so don't be afraid to put it on whenever the mood hits you.
    Also, make sure you wach the Coen Brothers' other films. Any of them, really. They're all great and they're in all kinds of genres from straight thrillers to comedies to comedy-thrillers and everything in between. One of their many strengths is dialogue, as you probably noticed in The Big Lebowski. Fargo, in particular, is really good with quirky characters and dialogue set against a more serious crime thriller plot. Definitely check that one out if you haven't seen it yet.
