Some of these are eyebrow raising for sure.
Mark Kermode covered this subject in last night’s Secrets of Cinema series but you’d be very hard pushed to find a lot that’s mainstream cult in there. Shout out to @Mindysan33 - he includes John Waters!

Jarmusch’s Stranger than Paradise is one of my favorite movies.
The list is missing everything else by Jim Jarmusch, John Waters, Eating Raoul, Terrorvision, and Heart of Midnight.

How do you not have Raising Arizona on that list? Or Beetlejuice? Or Dumb and Dumber? I’ve seen those so many times I can recite every line.
Maybe they were too mainstream, but still…

Ex Drummer should be high up on this list.
Like others have mentioned, the majority of the movies listed are not what I would consider cult movies at all
We obviously need a list that ranks movie lists.

Also, not a single Troma film is on there… No Hammer. No Italian Mondo films…

That website has one of the most awkward tracking opt-out pages I’ve ever seen. Not reading the article and never visiting it again. Fuck 'em.

Of the 50, 47 are English-language films, and almost exclusively populated by predominantly white casts.
I’m not saying these movies are bad or in any way unworthy of inclusion, but someone should consider broadening their horizons.

Compare it to the Top Ten Critics list for good measure.

The French turn out some great cult films. I recommend Delicatessen, La Jette, and Monsieur Hulot’s Holiday, among others.

French cinema is massively under represented on that list for sure

Watch the first 2+ minutes of Darktown Strutters on Amazon and tell me you didn’t watch more.
Yes, the lists completely leaves out the vast and bewildering library of Japanese cult (except for Akira). It is a good attempt but omits such masterpieces as “Batoru rowaiaru”

Or where is Tetsuo the Iron Man?
No Godzilla…
OH! Just in general… No Ed Wood films on this list… no Elvira Mistress of the Dark… nothing about films related to Killer Tomatoes…
