Cult Movie Bracket, First Fifth Element Quarter Final

Posted on July 28, 2016 by Mike Glyer

By Hampus Eckerman: For each pair, vote for the top cult movie. Vote for what is rememberable, what is fun, what is interesting, what is cult. You will have at least 24 hours to answer, but after that it depends on when I have time to count the votes.

1. DON’T LET THIS PAIRING UPSET YOU
Dr. Strangelove or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)
This is Spinal Tap (1984)

2. THIS LANDING IS GONNA BE PRETTY INTERESTING
Serenity (2005)
The Princess Bride (1987)

3. WITH A BIT OF A MIND FLIP
The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
Labyrinth (1986)

4. QUIET, DIGNITY AND GRACE
Young Frankenstein (1974)
Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)

5. AND THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW… THE WORLD!
Time Bandits (1981)
Groundhog Day (1993)

The Princess Bride (1987) – More cultural impact.

4. QUIET, DIGNITY AND GRACE
Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) – I prefer it.

5. AND THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW… THE WORLD!

1. This is Spinal Tap (1984)
Yeah, not quite as good, but much cultier. This was a really tough choice.

2. The Princess Bride (1987)
Not going to vote for the one that already lost fair and square. Although I’d still vote this way even if that wasn’t a factor.

3. The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
Ooh, very tough choice. Still, this is about as culty as they get, so I’ll go with it.

4. Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)
A truly painful choice! I’d curse the dice, but we’re getting down to the point where painful choices should be expected. This wins on cultiness.

5. Tie. Neither one seems particularly culty, and I love ’em both, so I’ll abstain.

p.s. Hampus, “memorable” is more common/standard than “rememberable”. Not complaining, since I don’t speak your language at all, but just FYI.

Xtifr: Hampus, “memorable” is more common/standard than “rememberable”.

I noted that to Hampus, and edited it the first couple of times (imagine, Mike Glyer thinking he found something that needed copyediting!)

Then I realized I was depriving him of a leitmotif and started leaving it alone.

Gotta go with Spinal Tap. It’s the 12″ henge that does it for me.

ACK! Ack ack ack! The one I re-watch more is the one I’ve voting for. Even though it’s a kissing book.

1. DON’T LET THIS PAIRING UPSET YOU
Dr. Strangelove or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964): down vote. Too much of an actually good and notable movie. Canon rather than cult.
This is Spinal Tap (1984): up vote: Cult

2. THIS LANDING IS GONNA BE PRETTY INTERESTING
Serenity (2005): It is a truth universally acknowledged that Firefly/Serenity must appear in each bracket and be excluded in this round. Axiomatically down voted.
The Princess Bride (1987) Up voted.

3. WITH A BIT OF A MIND FLIP
The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975): Essence of cult. Up voted.
Labyrinth (1986): Tough. Cult by virtue of elevated children’s movie but this is a tough pairing and Rocky Horror wins. Down voted.

4. QUIET, DIGNITY AND GRACE
Young Frankenstein (1974): A strong contender but down voted.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975): A film so cult that it is now orthodxy but I can’t down vote it so I must up vote it.

5. AND THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW… THE WORLD!
Time Bandits (1981): Up voted. I know that means two Gilliam films but this is the essential one.
Groundhog Day (1993): Down voted. Great but more mainstream than cult.

1. DON’T LET THIS PAIRING UPSET YOU: This is Spinal Tap is definitely more of a cult film. Strangelove is great, but hasn’t held up with a dedicated fan base the way Spinal Tap has.

2. THIS LANDING IS GONNA BE PRETTY INTERESTING: The Princess Bride wins over Serenity for pretty much the same reasons as Spinal Tap in #1.

3. WITH A BIT OF A MIND FLIP: The Rocky Horror Picture Show is pretty much the definition of cult movie, and I expect it to win overall.

4. QUIET, DIGNITY AND GRACE: A hard, hard choice. A slight edge to Monty Python and the Holy Grail because IMHO Young Frankenstein probably has declined in popularity while Holy Grail just keep on going.

5. AND THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW… THE WORLD! Another close one. I’m going with Time Bandits, because Groundhog Day is a film I had no urge to rewatch, while Time Bandits can and does re-entertain me every few years.

2. THIS LANDING IS GONNA BE PRETTY INTERESTING
Serenity (2005)
The Princess Bride (1987)

I re-read the book recently. Still holds up. I maintain that one could re-adapt the book and come up with a very different film that was still faithful to the source material.

3. WITH A BIT OF A MIND FLIP

1. Spinal Tap. None more culty — t’other’s mainstream.

2. One forehead cloth, and one vote for Princess Bride.

3. A whole crate of cloths, a mournful cry of “Bowie’s trousers!”, countered with “It’s just a jump to the left!” a great cursing of the dice and Hampus, many whispers about what’s the cultiest (well, yeah, RHPS) and yet… “Okay, we’re going with Labyrinth as a protest vote, but not complaining if it goes the other way”.

4. More grumbling breaks out in the forehead cloth crate, but everyone agrees it has to be Holy Grail. And there was much rejoicing.

5. Obviously Time Bandits. GD is completely mainstream.

1. Dr. Strangelove. A. should not be paired with anything, ever. B. Voting for anything else is an afront to something major that really upsets me. Seriously? A mockumentary is more cultish than one of the greatest satires in history? Sometimes I seriously wonder about you people….

2. The Princess Bride. Serenity is good, but Princess has a better theme song. (with lyrics or instrumental)

3. Rocky Horror. Bowie…Curry…Bowie…Curry…CURRY. (Better songs too)

4. Tie. Both. Young Python vs the Holy Frankenstein. Watch them simultaneously and start Pink Floyds Dark Side of the Moon right at the opening and Flying Monkies will appear.

5. Neither. Both are second rate cults at best, destined to be absorbed into some other cult over time.

1. This is Spinal Tap
Strangelove feels more like a historical artifact now.

2. The Princess Bride
I knew half the dialogue before I ever saw the movie.

3. The Rocky Horror Picture Show
The Time Warp beats the ballroom dancing. Barely.

4. Pass. Never seen Young Frankenstein

5. Time Bandits
Cultier. In my experience TB fans may be numerically fewer, but we make up for it in passionate intensity.

At this point, very few of the movies remaining meet my definition of cult. Which is idiosyncratic and a bit arbitrary, I admit. But it’s the only game in town, so…

2. THIS LANDING IS GONNA BE PRETTY INTERESTING
Serenity (2005)
The Princess Bride (1987)

Abstain

The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
Labyrinth (1986)

Rocky Horror I can vote for gladly.
