I've started binge watching the hit movies of the 1990s and figured I'd post a poll to determine which cult classic reigns supreme. Pulp Fiction seemed weirder this time around and I didn't enjoy it. It's odd because I loved the movie when it first came out. It's hard to choose, but I guess my vote is for Fight Club due to the catchy phrases I still remember word for word.
Those are all great movies and I almost gave my vote to Fight Club. Then I remembered that Office Space came out in 1999 and I think I'm going to have to give the crown to it. I still watch that movie pretty regularly and laugh every single time.
I've never even heard of Mallrats before. I voted for Clueless, but that's before I realized that you included Buffy. If television shows are included, then I'd have to give it to The X Files or maybe even Twin Peaks.
I'm with you, Strum Drum. Fight Club takes the gold medal for me. Clerks and Office Space are both really awesome too. They just don't stand on the same level as Fight Club, if you ask me. Wayne's World and The Big Lebowski get honorable mentions.
You all have mentioned a lot of stellar movies, but the crown has got to go to Pulp Fiction. I don't know what it is about that movie but, shoot, it's great. Every actor/actress in that movie acted their hearts out. I know people are starting to say that they never liked it and it's not a great movie, but I heartily disagree.
I chose other because "All of them" wasn't an option. Seriously, they're all great, including the ones everyone has added to the list. Although, moment of truth here, I've never seen Buffy. I know, I'm a terrible '90s kid. Does anyone know if it's available to stream anywhere?
I voted for "other" because I couldn't choose between these movies and some other great movies that I loved from the '90s. I don't really know what exactly makes something a "cult classic" but these are some of my favorite films from the '90s that I think fit:
- Reservoir Dogs
- Dazed and Confused
- The Boondock Saints
- Angus
- The Cable Guy
- The Sandlot
For you all who were confused about whether or not TV shows were included because Buffy the Vampire Slayer was on the list, it was a movie first.
I'm giving it to Clueless, hands down. I have to be honest with you all though...the only other movies I've seen on this list are Fight Club and the Scream movies.

I forgot about Buffy the Vampire Slayer! That was a fantastic movie, but it had a different star - Kristy Swanson. Luke Perry was her love interest and I believe Donald Sutherland was the leading vampire meanie. Pee Wee Herman was one of the vampires too. The film was total camp. I need to watch it again.
