Those are not cult films lol

2001 is widely regarded as the best 'space film' of all time and has been called that by the likes of Steven Spielberg and James Cameron. I'm not sure how many posts either of them has on IMDB, but I believe they do have a fair amount of street-cred between them.

Blade Runner is widely regarded as the best Sci-Fi film ever made. The director's cut is infinitely better than the theatrical release by the way, and the film does a masterful job of exploring the notion of 'what makes us human' against the backdrop of a futuristic cop thriller and exceptionally performances by an amazing cast of actors. Everyone on that film from Harrison Ford to Edward James Olmos was very good, but the script was the star of the show.

True Romance is one of my favorite movies of all time. It also happens to include the greatest single scene every filmed. Written by Quentin Tarantino and acted by Christopher Walken opposite Dennis Hopper. Watch it for yourself if you haven't seen the film... or better yet, go get the whole film and enjoy:



I get it... these three movies didn't have a meaningless chase scene to follow a guy and his kids in a pickup truck through a cornfield to down a drone that had almost nothing to do with the eventual plot. Still, they somehow managed to be three cinematic masterpieces where Interstellar is barely qualified to be a Saturday morning cartoon for six year olds.
