There are movies that are instant hits. These are the Jaws, Star Wars, ET. Jurrasic Park. Widely loved on release and massive box office hits. Then there are the Cult classics. Big Trouble in Little China, The Thing, Buckaroo Banzai and many many others. Massive failures at the box office. Critically slated. Box Office bombs!! But throughout the years gained a cult following. New movie lovers being introduced to them via runs on tv, and in some instances if we are lucky companies such as Arrow Video, Shout Factory, 88 Films and others love these movies as much as we do and release them on dvd and Blu Ray so you can watch them time and again in Hi Def. And then sometimes if we are really really lucky. we get to experience them on the big screen. This happened recently to a movie i have a real soft spot for. A cult classic. A movie about a failed mission to Halley's Comet which brings about an apocalyptic event that could be the end of humanity. Thats right. the movie
