As with the Top Sci-Fi movie list I can't agree with the list.

What no movie by direct by Hershell Gordon Lewis, Don Edmonds, Lee Frost, Phil Tucker or Coleman Francis.

No Movie produce by David Friedman or Ted V. Mikels.

And more important where is the greatest cult film of all time : Blood Freak

Well, according to the website's definition, I'm pretty sure "Blade Runner " shouldn't be included, as it is way past a cult following, especially since the release of the recent DC / Workprintz Collector's Editioons severely point towarsds a "not anly cult following".

That's a BS list if I ever saw one. Where is "I Spit on Your Grave", "Equinox", "A Boy and His Dog", or the most popular Atomic Age cult film of the 20th century "Plan 9 from Outer Space"?

I knew I worked on a cult film (which has not been mentioned yet), but I never knew the other film I worked on was a cult film, too! (It had a bigtime studio, budget, actor, and wide distribution... especially compared to the other.)
If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.

Cliff, did you use your real name for those movies? The only Cliff Adams in IMDB (for what it worth) is dead and British. Can I take a chance and guess that the cult movie was a teenage beach comedy made in the sixties and you was in the band who play in it?

It wasn't Beach Blanket Bingo  was it ??

In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

No. While I was a film student, I worked as an unpaid (and uncredited) intern on two feature-length films and a half dozen short films. Both feature films are available on DVD...

The one mentioned was "A Boy and His Dog", written and directed by LQ Jones (from a story by Harlan Ellison, by whom I got the gig). I was an assistant to the continuity director, where I was one of a team who took many Polaroid photos of sets as they were set up to be filmed and after each take. This way, the continuity director could match shots for each camera setup, especially if other takes occurred hours or days after the first ones.

The first film (much more of a cult film, in my opinion) I worked on was "Flesh Gordon", a porno film based on the Flash Gordon serials. It was cleaned up during production to get an "R" rating to get into mainstream theaters. On that film, I made a few of the prop rayguns, and also painted many props and a couple sets. Making that film was interesting in that one day it had a nice (not large by Hollywood standards, but not as small as many porno films) budget, and then, a few weeks later, had no budget at all. Then money would come in, and they'd buy special effects. Then they'd be back to no budget, and round and round it went.

So you will not find me in any film credits. The Cliff Adams you find in imdb or other online resources is a singer born 12 years before me, the leader of The Cliff Adams Singers.

There are two films where I might appear onscreen, but I have yet to take the time to see if I'm there: I was in the audience when they filmed both "Monterey Pop" and "The Last Waltz"... 
If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.

Hi Guys,

Perhaps I should have said which films do you agree with being on the list. For me it's the 'Big Lebowski' recently the movie fanatics were in LA for there festival & bowling event, and the 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' I made it to a mid-night showing, once.

Good for you Cliff, instead of VibroCount you should be VibroCeleb.

Take Care

I have this one in my collection, very fun exploitation movie with a great behind the scene history. Did you meet Maria Arnold while you work on it? She is one my favorite actress in the exploitation genre (not pornography, since she have done just one of them : Sexual Secrets of Marijuana) and since those girls work with so many different names this is a picture of her from Fantasm made 2 years after.

This was a very small cast & crew -- I'm certain I met everyone... If I met her it was very quick, like all the main actors. "These guys are making rayguns. Over here are guys building miniature buildings... here are the sets... What, you want a heater on the set? I don't think we can afford one... Here's our lighting crew... and this guy owns the camera."
