    My wife and I happened to be on location (vacation) while they were filming the Spitfire Grill. Yes, it was a worthwhile flic.

  I don't exactly know what's a "cult" film, but my favorite film that people claim to be "cult" is Dark Star. And what's that other one called? TXH1138 or something like that.

        Well, "great" is probably too generous a word for it, but it is good.

        You will love the Barry's track, I am sure. I just played like twenty minutes of the movie - had to try the new setup, you know - and immediately gotten under the spell again.

      as to why this Gem is so neglected, granted, it was not a critical success on its release, but isnt it amazing just how few people know this great film? I worked with a group of Brits a few years back who were stricken with this and the occasional comment like Sod your Pheasants or Throw yourself into the road, love, you havent got a chance! would really lighten things up...

  Hi,
  I wonder if this is beginning to lose it's meaning. Way bak when you certainly could have called the Rocky Horror Picture Show a cult film; I never even know those antics were happening. Nowadays, whatsa cult? I mean, is the Blues Brothers movie a cult film? How about the first Muppet Movie? I love it, it's part of the family (we all use lines from the film like "I could have been gone with the Schwinn")
  I think Soapdish is one of the best movies ever made, and we use a couple lines from that one too ("One more date and we would have been a Greek tragedy", "brain fever","that's why I get paid the big bucks"). But I don't know if anybody else feels that way.

        But wait till you get a nice 100" screen or see it at the theater - that film must be enjoyed in large format. After you had enjoyed it that way once, you can repeat your experience on the normal TV, but the first time it must be spectacular.

        for lack of a better word, I'd call The Vertical Ray of the Sun sumptuous, and perhaps my favorite "cult" film as well, seeing as my wife is the only one I know who shares my enthusiasm for it.

        Sumptuous is wrong for that, though. The sumptuousness of Barry Lyndon's dark, candle-lit interiors and overcast exteriors have an effect quite different from Vertical Ray, which is more light and luminous. Certainly both films are gorgeous.

        Well now I know what I'm gonna do when I get home.

        Thanks.

      Late is perfectly right in his appreciation of want a cult film should be. It is not a " favorite film "
      I am afraid I stand naked. I have none.
      Thirties years ago, I had one, it was Harold & Maud...with Cat´s´music and the dry humor. But it did not stant the test of my time.
      Barry is just to good to be a " cult " film. Most cult film are appreciated without real reason..just so..by the mood of the people who suddenly decide....That the FILM..it is a bit like falling in love....without any logical reason..Vic you and me, are to old for this..Aren´t we?

        It is relatively unsuccessful OR unappreciated when released, but gains more fans in the years AFTER release. I believe Barry Lyndon was , perhaps, moderately successful, but unappreciated critically, at the time. It is a quite worthwhile film IMO. Not a problem to include it in cult films as I see them.
