18 Timeless Cult Films Demanding a Rewind

12. The Breakfast Club (1985)

Five high school students from different social cliques spend a Saturday in detention together. As they open up to one another, they discover they have more in common than they thought. John Hughes’ film touches on the stereotypes and divisions that exist in high school, ultimately promoting the idea that we should look beyond labels and connect with others on a deeper level.

13. Pulp Fiction (1994)

Quentin Tarantino’s non-linear narrative weaves together interconnected stories of crime, redemption, and absurdity. It features hitmen, a boxer, a gangster’s wife, and a mysterious briefcase. “Pulp Fiction” is a postmodern exploration of the unpredictability of life and the morally ambiguous choices people make, all set against the backdrop of pop culture references.

14. The Room (2003)

“The Room,” often considered one of the worst films ever made, tells the story of Johnny, a successful banker whose life unravels when he suspects his fiancée, Lisa, of betraying him with his best friend, Mark. While “The Room” may not have been intentionally created as a work of art, it unintentionally joined the list of timeless cult films due to its unintentional humor and baffling narrative choices.

15. Office Space (1999)

A disgruntled software engineer, Peter Gibbons, decides to take control of his mundane life and plot against his soul-crushing corporate office. Alongside his equally fed-up coworkers, he hatches a plan to embezzle money from the company. “Office Space” hilariously satirizes the absurdities of corporate culture, the monotony of office life, and the desire for personal freedom and fulfillment.
