These are the top 10 films that in my mind I consider to have the biggest cult following. A “cult classic” can be defined as a film that may not have had box office or critical success at the time of its release, but over time has gained popularity and a cult following. Again, since this is a large list that is hard to break into 10 films, I figured I’d recognize 20 of them.
