"Cult Movie" Movies
Cult movies are movies that have a cult appeal, which is to say they have a small, but rabid fanbase and were often overlooked by moviegoers and critics when they first came out. This is opposed to cults, which are movies about strange religious sects. Many Cult Movies are also Midnight Movies.
