Like most my first experience of the word 'cult' was in reference to the loony quasi-religious money grabbers in the 70s, funny how every single one of em despises the word 'cult' when used in reference to them
, but cult cinema is really much harder to define, the first film that popped into my mind while reading the previous posts was Mondo Cane!!! films by Borowczyk and others of the like I guess I would class as more like Arthouse or existential, my definition of a cult movie would be a more base 'entertainment' whose reputation (deserved or not) gets it the cult status and attention that in most cases it probably doesn't really warrant.
