of Read notes Clone this list
# 500 ESSENTIAL CULT MOVIES book released August 3, 2010 is a must-read for all film aficionados and aspiring buffs alike.

### Review of "500 Essential Cult Movies: The Ultimate Guide" by Jennifer Eiss

#### Overview:
**500 Essential Cult Movies: The Ultimate Guide** by Jennifer Eiss is an ambitious work that strives to compile and explore the world of cult movies. With 500 entries, it offers readers a comprehensive journey into films that have gained cult status for various reasons, from an ardent and specialized following to their impact on pop culture and beyond.

#### Content:
Eiss's book is more than just a list; it is an exploration into what makes a movie "cult." She dives into a plethora of films, from well-known classics by directors like Spielberg and Scorsese to lesser-known gems that may have slipped under the radar.

Each entry offers not only a synopsis but also an analysis of why the film has attained its cult status. The variety of films included ensures a rich and diverse experience for readers, from science fiction and horror to comedy and drama.

#### Writing Style:
Jennifer Eiss's passion for cinema shines through her writing. Her style is engaging and accessible, making the book an enjoyable read for both seasoned film buffs and those new to the world of cult movies. Her insights into the intricacies of what defines a cult film add depth to the book, fostering a greater appreciation for these unique cinematic creations.

#### Design and Layout:
The book is thoughtfully organized, allowing readers to easily navigate through the vast selection of films. Whether used as a reference guide or read cover to cover, the structure facilitates a user-friendly experience.

#### Final Thoughts:
"500 Essential Cult Movies: The Ultimate Guide" is a treasure trove for film enthusiasts. Jennifer Eiss's knowledgeable and passionate approach makes this book a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the fascinating world of cult cinema. Her mix of well-known and obscure selections ensures that even the most seasoned film aficionado will discover something new.

While some readers may find the sheer volume of entries overwhelming, the richness of content and the accessible writing style make it a worthwhile journey. Eiss's love for history and her focus on the more mysterious aspects of film come together to create an enlightening and entertaining guide that both educates and inspires. 


"500 Essential Cult Movies: The Ultimate Guide" is an essential addition to the library of anyone passionate about movies, offering a deep dive into a fascinating aspect of cinematic culture.


## Jennifer Eiss
Jennifer Eiss is a writer and award-winning filmmaker with a passion for history (it's fun!). She's published books on film and zombies and will watch just about any film or TV show with ghosties and beasties, even if it's pants.
