I guess my point was that there was little difference between the movie and the show. But I suppose it is set apart to a certain degree.

1. “MST3K : The Movie” is a cult classic because anyone who is in love with the movie is seriously IN LOVE WITH THE MOVIE. You don’t “sorta like” MST3K, you either think it’s amazing, or you don’t really care.

2. The movie in “MST3K : The Movie” is “This Island Earth”, which is in itself considered to be a cult Sci-Fi classic (side note: it’s also the movie that ET watches while Elliot is at school).

3. I consider the fact that there are many successful special screenings/events of MST3K in theaters is enough to suggest that it has a cult following.

Please make the case for MST3k the movie. I don’t really consider it cult, although it is tons quotable. Hmm.

Spinal Tap
Heathers
Anything Monty Python
(I wouldn’t consider this “cult”, but whatever, some people do)
MST3K (the movie)
The Big Lebowski
Basket Case (have yet to see it in its entirety, but thanks to the Creature Features Geekcast episode, I’m eagerly awaiting its arrival into my life)
