An error has ocurred. Please try againCox hosted Moviedrome from 1988 to 1994. It was to be brought back for a much shorter run in 1997, this time with Mark Cousins.
Although Alex's own Repo Man ( not to be confused with Repo Men ) was never presented by Cox nor Cousins on Moviedrome and therefore not on this list, it is to my mind the quintessential cult film. If you see fit though then let Repo Man be another must-see on this list of cult classics.
A 'Cult film' as described by Alex Cox on the very first episode.
"Good Evening, my name is Alex Cox and welcome to the Moviedrome. A season of cult films.
What is a cult film? A cult film is one that has a passionate following but does not appeal to everybody. James Bond movies are not cult films but chainsaw movies are. Just because a movie is a cult movie does not automatically guarantee quality. Some cult movies are very bad, others are very very good. Some make an awful lot of money at the box office, others make no money at all. Some are considered quality films, others are considered exploitation.
One thing they do have in common is they are all genre films, that's to say the type of category of the film in question, for example gangster films or westerns. Cult films also have a tendency to slosh over from one genre into another, so that a science fiction film might become a detective movie, or vice versa.
They're also generally cheaply made, most of the movies in this season cost under $2 million, some of them cost a great deal less. They share common themes as well, themes that I would suggest are the themes of all drama,.. love, murder and greed."

The Bunker (2014)
Honestly, the very worst of films
This IS the worst movie ever made, wait.. before you say you've already seen the worst film.. stop, this is it, this is where it ends, it genuinely gets no worse than this. There are literally zero redeemable features, the music.. it plays throughout, it never changes tempo, it never changes AT ALL, I'd rather listen to a phone ringing for 90 minutes, the actors.. my dog delivers more convincing lines, it looks like it's set in a corner of a long forgotten park, there's probably some rusty barbecue grills just out of shot, the storyline, no I can't continue, this film.. omg folks.., seriously this film, it's just garbage, hot steaming garbage, it really is simply the most unwatchable thing I have ever seen, there's so much wrong with it I literally can't even begin to describe how bad it is.
At one point in it's imdb life it had a 2.5 star rating which was 12.5 points too high, but then the director and friends recently paid to bump up the rating to where it's now at, currently sporting a 6.7.
Looking forward to not watching the prequel.
Polterheist (2018)
Reviews by cast
Why members of the cast think they can get away with fudging the reviews is beyond me. They haven't put any effort into concealing their identity. hayleybentertainments? which is a stripper for hire company, and, hayley b in the cast, who stars as a polish stripper, or others signing up and the day later leaving their one and only review.
Here's a 1 star for the cheek. Remove the reviews and I may give this dreadfully paced, rather bland but generally inoffensive film the 3 stars it deserves..
