    \nSome films I inadvertantly overlooked earlier head this list:  first, William Peter Blatty’s wonderfully atmospheric cult classic, The Ninth Configuration,<\/i> as well as the Bronson \/ Lee Marvin Canadian wilderness actioneer, Death Hunt<\/i>.  The rest of the list ranges from the sublime (The Dresser,<\/i> and Martin Scorsese’s underappreciated, The King of Comedy<\/i>) to the ridiculous (D.C. Cab, Flashdance<\/i>).  Cult favorites include Local Hero<\/i> andEddie the Cruisers<\/i>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
