| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Some of Hollywood's biggest blockbuster flops have enjoyed long careers as cult classics, with a following of viewers who know every line. Movies like "Office Space" and "Blue Velvet" have provided pop culture references and showed the subculture of movie watching that exists outside box office release numbers. This book looks at the reasons cult classic films exist and names some of the best-known movies in this category. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
