Maybe Under the Silver Lake? It flopped pretty hard upon release but it's developed a pretty dedicated following. Not sure if it counts as "cult" yet though, maybe it'll develop into that

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I'd like to start a cult following for The Green Knight if it doesn't have one already.

Sorry to Bother You is a movie that might fit here. An odd film, as cult movies ought to be in some way, that keeps finding new audiences and seems to keep growing

I didn't realize this. I need a rewatch. LaKeith Stanfield is so good.

Just a heads up about the cult: It will involve drinking poison.

The discussion in the True Detective thread got me thinking. Not saying True Detective is an answer here (maybe it is?), the question just popped in my head when reading the thread.

What tv series, or stand-alone season, do you think could work well — or work better — if distilled down to a ~2.5 hour movie?

Mindhunter S2 should have been a longish movie about the Atlanta stuff, with everything else jettisoned.

I could take the demise of arcades and rock music, but the death of movie theaters might break me. I am a dinosaur.
