Writing about A Hard Days Night got me thinking about other cult films I used to watch. There is of course the ubiquitous Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I actually own the collector's edition which has some pretty entertaining extras. Like these awesome scenes below where the film was dubbed into Japanese and then translated back. What the Knights of Ni want in the Japanese version is almost better than the English version.
Here's one that not many of you will know about. Rubin and Ed filmed right here in our very own Utah. The film stars Crispin Glover, who is probably most famous for playing George McFly in Back to the Future. Here is the plot summary from IMDB.com.
Reclusive Rubin Farr teams up with vocal but unsuccessful multi-level salesman Ed Tuttle on a quest to bury Rubin's dead cat in the "perfect spot." Their trip takes them across Utah's desert where they have run-ins with Ed's ex-wife Rula and an elusive Andy Warhol critic.
I mean, come on. Doesn't that sound like the best film ever? Below is Rubin's dream sequence where he fantasizes that his cat can water ski. It is one of the best scenes of the movie and has the best line from the whole film.
There are so many other great cult films out there. Here are some others I used to watch all the time.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Better Off Dead
The Princess Bride
Real Genius
And Now for Something Completely Different
This is Spinal Tap
What films did you watch over and over again?
