Welcome! We have but one main rule, let's call it "The Comic Book Guy Rule":
Please fight the overpowering urge to downvote a movie simply because you do not like it. If the link is broken or poor quality, sure, downvote, but this is a subreddit for fans of ALL different kinds of cult movies. Use the "hide" feature on links. Give some intelligent criticism in the comment section. Just please don't downvote and make links less visible for other subscribers solely because a particular cult movie is not your bag. THANKS!
Cult Cinema is social. Part of the fun is finding others who appreciate an offbeat cinematic gem, or turning on a friend to an unusual, memorable viewing experience. A cult movie isn't defined by how much money it did or didn't make when first released, or how the critics initially treated it. Cult Cinema is about the enthusiastic audience a movie acquires over time. It's about late night screenings, dialogue that brands itself onto your brain, a ravenous taste for the unusual, and making a movie partially your own for a long time after you first saw it.

I've been searching for this film for years! The plot is something like this:
two sisters with a troubled relationship reunite to support their mother, who is getting divorced from their father and struggling badly.
The final scene of the movie shows the doors of the house open, then the mother walking on the beach directly toward the sea and walking into the water until she disappears (implying that she took her own life). It's a cult drama film, I discovered it when it was aired on Telecine Cult years ago.
I remember watching an exploitation style film, I believe it was from the 80’s that took place in ancient China, if I am recalling correctly. There were several torture scenes, including a Greek style Brazen bull scene. Does this ring a bell with anyone? It’s been driving me nuts for years.
The Davids learned several core values from John Waters films growing up. Female Trouble was perhaps the most instructive at least in what Edith Massey's character imparted.
John Waters directing Pink Flamingos (1972)
A perfect mix of camp, shock, and genuine comedy is rare. As far as I know, John Waters is the only director that achieves this; a true king of filth!

Pink Flamingos is such an insane ride. I saw it back in the late 70s as teenager. I wanted to laugh aloud, puke-up and hide all at once. Probably the funniest and most revolting thing I've ever seen. Now I'm tempted to see it again. Recently I saw Female Trouble, another gem. Divine’s performance is just next-level unhinged.
Are there any other directors remotely like this?
Hey CultCinema! Apologies in advance if this violates any sub rules, but I recently produced my first feature film, a stoner comedy and 2007 emo period piece called RATS! We've been called "a guaranteed cult classic in the making," "a renegade underground comedy with the spirit of Repo Man[...] made today by filmmakers weaned on Super Troopers and Tim and Eric" and compared to filmmakers like John Waters (: The trailer dropped yesterday, so I wanted to share with y'all! Hope you like it (: https://collider.com/rats-comedy-movie-trailer/
