Here's his best moment on screen, the only good part of a excruciatingly awful movie:

The problem is not that there is evil in the world, the problem is that there is good. Because otherwise, who would care?
Follow Ups:
That was the first thing that popped in mind when I saw the news he had passed. RIP ML
The film itself too. But that's just me.
Actually, I can't talk about it having never seen it.

A wry, somewhat violent commentary on materialism of modern life and its effect on the role of males. Controversial when released but less so now. Features Edward Norton playing against Brad Pitt with Helena Bonham Carter. Directed by David Fincher so comparatively high production values. Recommended but not for everybody.
Getting OT, but another "strange" one that I appreciate is "Memento". Don't know if you've seen it, but it is done in "reverse"--from end to beginning of the story-line. If you do watch-it, you have to sit-down and actually watch-it, or you will be "lost" within 10-15 minutes.
"So I talk to the night, I head for the light, try and hold it on the road. Thank God for the man who put
the white lines on the highway"--a very dear friend for decades Michael Stanley (Gee)--RIP
a-cult favorite, "The Rover." You mentioned "shit hits the fan?" This is perhaps even better than, "Mad Max." Car sounds a bonus if you have a good theater system...
Easily Kim Basinger's best performance. Best noirish song:
Yes--RIP, indeed. He had a rather "diverse" career.
Rocky Horror is a "classic"--you clearly haven't been to a midnight showing in a rat-hole theater with all of the "characters".

who does strange better'n anyone, Kyle MacLachlan and a creature that loves both Ferraris's and punk music (attention D D! ); "Diva:" a French thriller that's about a young delivery guy who falls for an opera diva; "Repo Man:" sporting the late-but-great Harry Dean Stanton telling you what you need in life: a code.
Another good one is The Seventh Victim , an old Val Lewton flick.
Johnny Guitar is a surreal Joan Crawford flick directed by Nicholas Ray, and don't forget the immortal Faster, Pussycat! Kill, Kill! .

Ain't seen Seventh Victim. Johnny Guitar indeed is great.
The Dutch original, "Vanished," is a great film AND a cult one.
Too harrowing.
The Hollywood version with the tacked-on ending is laughable. Besides, Kiefer Sutherland is a guy I'd like to see buried alive somewhere.

That was gripping. No need to see it twice.
d
At the old King's Court in Oakland in 1980.
The first part of the movie is stupid but mildly entertaining. That whole sequence with Frank N. Furter in the swimming pool, goes on and on and on...kee-rist...
No amount of throwing toast at the screen can save it.

I went to the Kings Court too one midnight. I never understood what the cult following was all about and I even went with my then-current GF who was a devotee.
We were just dating at the time. Should have been a warning of some sort.
