    Maybe not a cult classic but the highly praised adaptation of Little Women (2019). It did not have the positive flow and feel compared to the 1994 version. Also, having a 22 year old actress playing the young version of Amy was not a good choice, her sitting between the other girls at school looked ridiculous.

    Mean Girls is ok. It has some good meme quotes, but it isn’t really a good movie.

    I find there are few cult classics that can be found by future generations and maintain their cult status outside of the truly timeless greats like Rocky Horror Picture Show or similar. There’s a nostalgia associated with most cult films. I can’t imagine GenZ glomming onto Better off Dead or Ferris Bueller’s Day Off or The Goonies because so much of the camp and humor is tied to a time they don’t have a reference for.

      I’m Gen-X and showed my Gen Z kids Better off Dead recently. They quite liked it. I think it’s just so goofy anyone could enjoy it. I DON’T think they’d like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off - too talky.

        My 13-year-old enjoyed Better Off Dead too. Especially “I want my two dollars!”

    Donnie Darko.

    Not a terrible movie, just an extremely odd film of which I have never understood the cult following.

    Big Lebowski … I mean I enjoyed it but not enough to join the cult

      Came here to comment this. I wanted to enjoy it but I just didn’t. I can see myself having good fun with it if I watched it 10-15 years ago but when I did it just didn’t hit where it should’ve

      Give it another try, I was also confused during my first watch, but now it’s one of my favorite movies
