100 Cult Films is a 2011 book written by Ernest Mathijs and Xavier Mendik, who selected one hundred cult films to discuss.WorldCat.org
Process
The two authors often disagreed with each other and were forced to make concessions; for example, Mathijs opposed the inclusion of Cannibal Holocaust, which he called an initiation ritual and not a film with a devoted cult following. He relented and allowed its inclusion so that he could convince Mendik to include Begotten.https://www.straight.com/movies/ernest-mathijs-100-cult-films-dives-movies-some-us-cant-stop-watching Ernest Mathijs' 100 Cult Films dives into the movies some of us can't stop watching Mack Adrian The Georgia Straight 2012-01-04 2014-06-25 Mathijs wanted to include The Princess Bride, but Mendik preferred to focus on including more transgressive films, and it was not included. As a result of its choices, the book attracted controversy from cult film fans.https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/film/want-to-make-people-mad-pick-the-top-100-cult-films-of-all-time/article554897/ Want to make people mad?
