Which Cult Classic Film You Should Watch This Weekend Based on Your Astrological Sign
When Harry Styles sang “I dig your cinema,” he probably wasn’t talking about classic films. However, we all love movies. And if you’ve ever wondered what a cult classic is, you’re in the right place. They aren’t just for “film bros” and critics; they’re for everyone.
What defines a cult classic lies in a movie’s passionate fanbase of die-hard followers. Movies that are out-of-the-box and elicit varying reactions often fall into the cultish category. Whether it be intense horror, hilarious comedy, or sometimes a mix of both, there is power in the obscurity of films, even when success comes much later. Keep scrolling below to see which cult classic film matches your astrological sign…
