Cult Classics that should be re-released in theaters

I have a soft spot for cult classics, from Rocky Horror to Heathers to pretty much any Star Trek and/or Star Wars movie, but the original Star Trek movies that came before the 2009 reboot have been gathering dust in the proverbial theater cabinet, as has many other films that should be seen by more people so they get the respect (or 'so bad its good' feeling) they deserve. Here are just a few cult films that i hope get re released in theaters or at least get released worldwide on DVD.

• This is Spinal Tap - The awesome satire/mockumentary needs a theatrical re-release. I guarantee tickets sales, just you wait.
• Freaks - Extremely controversial when it came out and still is today because it used real 'freaks'. it's creepy too, a theatrical re-release would work because people would be very intrigued by the film. I would love to have met the 'freaks' because they seemed like great people. It's an interesting film that would do well at the box office with the right marketing.
• The Rocky horror Picture show - whats a cult list without Frankenfurter and Co? Well known but hasn't had a theatrical re-release in Australia, we want one! Even if it had, it needs to be an event you know how they act out all the scenes and people dress up as characters? whatever happened to that? we gotta do that
• The Wiz - with that Oz revamp in the works The Wiz and The Wizard Of Oz could be released on a double feature, c'mon you know you'd see it.
• Heathers - High School satire at its deadliest could use a re-release and world wide super special DVD release.
• The adventures of sherlock Holmes' smarter brother - Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman, Madeline Kahn. Need i say more about why this needs some long overdue exposure?
• Ed Wood films - you probably can get them on DVD, to be honest i've never looked but wouldn't it be fun to go to a theater to see the 'worst' movies ever made? i may be alone on this but i'm sure that the popularity of the Tim Burton film Ed Wood will certainly interest people to see the movies.
• Pink Flamingos - One of the lesser known John Waters films needs to be seen to be believed, so extremely strange that once you get into you're head to see it you won't be able to get out for weeks. Isn't that what a great movie does? A trailer park transvestite literally eats REAL dog feces just to be named the worlds filthiest person. interested??
• Raising Arizona - a couple can't have a baby, so they steal one.
• Little Shop of horrors - the 1960 version or the popular musical remake. preferably both. Theatrically they sound great, the songs in the remake would sound good in theatrical surround sound.
• THX 1138 - George Lucas' lesser known film and what he named his revolutionary cinema sound system after. Rife for re-release just so people know that George Lucas was awesome even before Star wars.
• Brazil - only for people with a specific kind of humour, but if you 'get' it you'll think that it's a masterpiece. i get it, so naturally i like it.
• Star Trek (original movies) - they're all on DVD but a theatrical re-release to nab a new group of Trekkies, the 2009 version got the interest going in generation Y, now show them just how great Star Trek is.
• Repo: the genetic opera - with a name like that you just know it's a cult film!!! Anthony Head is in which makes it even better and if it were re-released theatrically it would have huge ticket sales from goths. It's not entirely a gothic film but a know a lot of goths who like it.

Cult films and TV shows are the kind with a huge legion of really cool nerds, i am one of those nerds so thats why i wrote this post. as for Cult TV, well, i'll write about that some other time.
