Cult Films are movies that do not necesarily succeed at the box office on their initial release but show long-term audience appeal, building support via word-of-mouth recommendation. Such films tend to be quirky and offbeat, showing a sensibility that does not appeal to a mainstream audience.

Examples of cult films include The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension and The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
