[quote name='Boo][SIZE=1']Not absolutely. Maybe a bit, but so incredibly many people swallow everything he shoots at them, that you'd have to stretch the original idea of the phrase "cult film" pretty much. The films aren't so much cult films as Quentin Tarantino himself just being subject of the biggest cult on Earth.[/SIZE][/quote] [quote name='Wikipedia]A [B]cult film[/B] (also known as a cult movie/picture or a cult classic) is a [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film"]film[/URL] that has acquired a highly devoted but specific group of [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_%28person%29"]fans[/URL].[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_film#cite_note-0"][1][/URL] Often, cult movies have failed to achieve fame outside of the small fanbases; however, [COLOR=Red][U][B]there have been exceptions that have managed to gain fame among mainstream audiences[/B][/U][/COLOR]. Many cult movies have gone on to transcend their original cult status and have become recognized as classics; others are of the "so bad it's good" variety and are destined to remain in obscurity. Cult films often become the source of a thriving, obsessive, and elaborate [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subculture"]subculture[/URL] of [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fandom"]fandom[/URL], hence the analogy to [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult"]cults[/URL]. However, not every film with a rabid fanbase is necessarily a cult film. Usually, cult films have limited but very special, noted appeal. [COLOR=Red][U][B]Cult films are often known to be eccentric and do not follow traditional standards of mainstream cinema and usually explore topics not considered in any way [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mainstream_%28terminology%29"]mainstream[/URL]?yet there are examples that are relatively normal.

[quote name='Delta][COLOR=#487659']But it's true.[/COLOR][/quote] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray]So in your book, it's perfectly hunky-dory to make sweeping generalizations about an entire race of people on the basis that it's "true"? Because in my book, that's called stereotyping, which is racism by a different name. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[quote=I, Colossus]wut? Not trying to nitpick, but this ...isn't ...true.[/quote] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray]My thoughts exactly. Now, [B]Reservoir Dogs[/B] took a while to gain popularity, and [B]My Best Friend's Birthday[/B] doesn't even count, however, all of [B]Tarantino[/B]'s other films have been fairly instant successes. [B]Pulp Fiction[/B] didn't take years of word-of-mouth for it to garner attention. [B]Pulp Fiction[/B] was big before it was even big. Also, [B]Inglourious Basterds[/B] was definitely not the only [B]Tarantino[/B] film hyped before its release. Far from it, in fact. The man loves to talk about his movies, and since he has the money, he'll tell everyone. What I won't argue with you about is that his films are cult films. They absolutely are.
