    If we design a cult movie as I usually do, as a film that has a relatively small group of ? fan who can't see the truth (that the movie sucks), then most of these movies certainly apply.

    Not always the case, just mostly.

    A cult movie doesn't mean it's good it means it has gained a following where ppl love it in small groups or big groups.It means ppl buy clothes like the movie and go and act out the lines and ? .Oldboy isn't a cult film but,a good movie.Your right about American ? though
