Cult Movie Checklist

I've been sort-of-looking for this for a long time, but since no-one seems to have typed in this list I've done it myself. (And if someone _has_ done it already, don't tell me! I'd hate to have done all the work for nothing! :-) It's a checklist of all the movies in Danny Peary's books Cult Movies, vol. I-III. Since the last volume was published in 1988 some obvious choices (Reservoir Dogs, Heathers, etc.) are missing, but we've all seen those already, haven't we? Also, some of Peary's picks might seem a bit odd, but generally I've found his book extremely useful. It's my goal to see all the movies listed. Currently, I've got a score of 118, and since I consider quite a few of those I *haven't* seen as must-sees, I'd say that you should have a score of at least 100 to be able to call yourself an educated cult-movie watcher. Tick away!
