Cult sci-fi movies
Dark Crystal– I _love_ that movie.
Dr. Strangelove– I’m embarrased to say I’ve never seen it all the way through, but the parts I did see had me laughing hysterically and thinking seriously about war at the same time. Nice.
Godzilla and Lost in Space remakes– As a rule, I avoid remakes (although I did like the new Planet of the Apes). I liked the old Godzilla too much to see its remake, and didn’t like Lost in Space enough to care about its remake.
Brazil– Great movie, but I always get a headache watching it.
Another great one:
Labryinth– Possibly my favorite cult movie. David Bowie as the Goblin King, a ridiculously melodramatic heroine, cool Muppet-creature-things and music you’re afraid to admit you like but catch yourself humming for days afterwards.

Gideon: I thought you said you don’t hold a grudge.
Galen: I don’t. I have no surviving enemies. At all.
