Do a little bit of research on film history and cult classics.

I decided that I would research cult classic movies since one of my favorite movies is Rocky Horror Picture Show.  I really didn't know what made a film a cult classic or what movies where considered cult classics.  I was shocked to find in my research that most movies that are considered cult classic films where not considered big money making films and often where low budget films.  The movies where not considered a cult classic until it attracts a group of followers or obsessive fans.  Some movies go on to become classics, such as Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.  I did find a web site that had The Top 50 Cult Classic Movies, http://www.filmsite.org/cultfilmsew2.html  I was shocked by some that were on the list, such as The Shawshank Redemption (1984) at number 10, Dazed and Confused (1993) at number 17 and Friday (1995) at number 49 to name a few.  I don't consider myself an obsessed fan or in a group of followers, but I like a lot of the movies on the Top 50 Cult Classic Movie list.
