In the LFP last week they had a list of the top parody movies of all time, and to my surprise Scream was on the list! After talking to friends, apparently this was an obvious connection to make, considering how 'self referential' it is as a horror movie...but enough academic jargon, I remember these movies being the most suspenseful (and somewhat cheesy) slasher films.
and who doesn't love the addition of Lori Metcalfe (recent G.A.'s guest star) in the second film? but enough about scream.
The movie conversation brought about other 'Greatest Movies of All Times' and I realized that my repetoire of cult classics is actually quite sad...
this leads to my first (of many) summer goals. I want to be a movie (cult classic specific) guru. I am already a good contender in the areas of comedies, romances, and drama's...but I mean the real movies that everybody always references and I am left standing there doing the fake-Ihavenoideawhatyourtalkingabout-laugh.
So, using my trusty brainpower, I researched a list of 'cult hits' and here are the one's I have seen:
1) Rocky Horror Picture Show
2) Fight Club
3) Mulholland Drive
4) Donnie Darko
and films I gotta see:
1) Blade Runner (sci-fi I believe)
2) Full Metal Jacket
3) Freaks and Geeks
4) Reefer Madness
5) Dawn of the Dead
I figure five is a fair start to a summers worth of 'underground' entertainment. but trust me, I will post my findings.

Full Metal Jacket guy is a crazy movie. Its like two completely differnt 'war' movies in one. Half way through it just changes direction completely
