Writer's Block: Revenge of the midnight movie

[Error: unknown template qotd]
VERY hard to decide, but probably for films that have cult status but weren't necessarily big hits (some films could have been cult if they weren't so popular, like the original Men in Black), I probably keep falling back to Buckaroo Bonzai as my fav.

There is no "why".

on numbers (for sequels)

Toy Story 2, Cars 2, Toy Story 3, Kung Fu Panda 2...

Blue Sky Disney: Titled...:

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying I'd love to have a great title and a really crappy film. I'm just asking why we can't have both? While I love John Lasseter's attention to detail focusing on the films his Emeryville studio makes, I just have to ask why they can't spend a day or two trying to come up with a title to give it other than a number.

Reminds me of that golden age of the 80s when everything had to name itself "Something : The Movie" (as if people were paying 6.50 to see something other than a movie in a movie theater), like Transformers and Robotech (among many others).

Spaceballs, of course, rode that trend to a decent joke in the film.

I know I said Buckaroo Bonzai for my fav "cult" film, but a cult film and a midnight movie are not necessarily the same thing.  If I had to go for the best midnight movie, it would probably be Gothic.

First saw that in the hotel bar at an EveCon almost 20 years ago (the last year at the Doubletree before they moved to Frederick, yeah, fire extinguisher year)...still freaks me out.
