The first film i saw Jane Asher in was a film called Green Gage Summer , think she was about 14 year old in that , think it's from 1962 ? Susannah York was also in it
At the age of five Jane Asher made her film debut in ‘Mandy’ (1953). Her interest in acting began when her parents took their three children to a theatrical agency, thinking it would be fun for them to learn to act. Her other screen appearances over the years have included Third Party Risk (1953); Dance Little Lady, Adventure In The Hopfields (1954); The Quatermass Xperiment (1955); Charley Moon, The Greengage Summer (1956); The Prince And The Pauper (1962) Girl In The Headlines (1963); The Masque Of The Red Death (1964); Alfie (1966); The Winter’s Tale (1967); The Buttercup Chain, Deep End (1970); Henry V111 And His Six Wives (1972); Runners (1983) and Success Is The Best Revenge (1984).
Although they're not cult movies, I've got various DVD's such as Lady Vengeance, Old Boy, Casshern, Audition, Ong-Bak, Battle Royale, Azumi, Azumi 2, Crying Freeman, Shogun Assassin, Ringo-O, Ringo 2, the Grudge, the Infernal Affairs trilogy and a pile of Studio Chibli anime - Nausicaa, Princess Mononoke, Howl's Moving Castle - but the best is Spirited Away,
I'd have to say that Rocky Horror is the best of all cult movies. I mean, Tim Curry in women's lingerie singing rock-showtunes. How can you not like that?
You're so vain, you probably think this post is about you.

I actually saw the original West End stage version with Tim Curry!
I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.
I would have thought to be regarded as a cult movie (not that definations mean anything) a film would have to flop on it's commercial release and then subsequently be adopted by a small group of followers. Wouldn't that discount Rocky Horror, and mean that while being legandary Animal House or 2001 could never be seen as cult movies? Being groovy or a genre-standard ain't enough? I'm not into them as much as you guys, but if I had to pick one it would to be The Wicker Man. As far as endings go.....

Damn, how could I forget Rocky Horror. Yeah, definitely the king of all cult movies.

Rocky Horror DID flop on its initial release. It only became popular through midnight showings, and even then the fan group was pretty small. Now, of course it has a huge fan following. It's still a cult movie, in my opinion though, because it's such a part of deviant culture. You have to be a bit "out there" to enjoy it.

I watched The Day The Earth Stood Still the other day. Apart from being a sci fi classic (1951) it gave us Klaatu and Gort - the robot Ringo parodies on the cover of Goodnight Vienna. I didn't realise how good this movie was - stupendous soundtrack and all. The message was fun - that alien races had formed an organisation that acted on their behalf to stamp out tyranny and violence around the universe (not that they would ever dream of interfering in a planets day to day life of course.) Interesting, seeing as the US was at the time leading the UN in a war against China/North Korea.

Interesting. Great movie. It's very typical human behavior. They come in peace and we shoot them. Talk about a faux pas. By the way, they're making a remake with Keanu Reeves, Jennifer Connelly, John Cleese, and Kathy Bates. I'm SURE it will be fantastic. Not a bad cast though. Outside of Keanu, who, while gorgeous, isn't the greatest thespian ever to grace a movie screen.
I'm very surprised that no-one has yet mentioned the great 'Withnail And I'. Possibly the greatest cult movie of all time. And, made by Handmade Films.

They are re-making the Rocky Horror Show, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Forbidden Planet, the Incredible Shrinking Man, when Worlds Collide and almost all of the 50s horror movies. Keanu Reeves is Klaatu in the Earth Stood Still remake. Apart from Rocky Horror, there were a number of British cult movies - The Wicker Man, Get Carter, Withnail And I, the Witchfinder General, the Sorcerers, the Italian Job the Stranglers of Bombay, the Quatermass Xperiment, Quatermass & the Pit, The Masque Of The Red Death etc
