i”?Some films should never have been made. They are too unsettling, too dangerous, too challenging, too outrageous and even too badly made to be let loose on unsuspecting audiences. Yet these films, from the shocking Cannibal Holocaust to the apocalyptic Donnie Darko, from the destructive Tetsuo to the awfully bad The Room, from the hilarious This Is Spinal Tap to the campy Showgirls, from the asylum of Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari to the circus of Freaks, from the gangs of The Warriors to the gangsters of In Bruges and from the flamboyant Rocky Horror Picture Show to the ultimate cool of The Big Lebowski, have all garnered passionate fan followings. Cult cinema has made tragic misfits, monsters and cyborgs, such as Edward Scissorhands or Blade Runner’s replicants, heroes of our times. 100 Cult Films explains why these figures continue to inspire fans around the globe.Cult film experts Ernest Mathijs and Xavier Mendik round up the most cultish of giallo, blaxploitation, anime, sexploitation, zombie, vampire and werewolf films, exploring both the cults that live hidden inside the underground (Nekromantik, Cafe Flesh) and the cult side of the mainstream (Dirty Dancing, The Lord of the Rings, and even The Sound of Music). 100 Cult Films is a true trip around the world, providing a lively and illuminating guide to films from more than a dozen countries, across nine decades, representing a wide range of genres and key cult directors such as David Cronenberg, Terry Gilliam and David Lynch.

Because we’re all such environmentally friendly and health-conscious sorts (why are you looking at us like that?) cycling about the place is second nature. The resulting safety implications particularly visibility are an important consideration as anyone who’s nearly been squished between two London buses will tell you. The SpokeLit bike light is a fantastic and simple way to ensure you don’t get knocked off (not in the mafia way obviously). All you have to do is clip the SpokeLit to your spokes click it on and hey presto you have a brilliant bicycle lighting. You then have the choice of a constant or a rapidly flashing coloured light. We kind of prefer the constant light on a purely aesthetic level – cycling at the right speed produces that lovely ring of light effect. Of course it’s more about staying visible on the roads than looking like an extra from Blade Runner but there’s no harm in looking cool. The batteries last for ages and installation only takes a few seconds so why not get your hands on one of these funky rear lamp accessories – keeping you safe while you brave the roads in the dark. Features: Bike SpokeLit safety light for cyclists. Simply clip it to the spokes and turn it on before you start cycling The light will either hold a steady glow or flash rapidly to make you as visible as possible in the dark Colours may vary: red blue or green Easy to operate (not whilst in motion unless you fancy losing your fingers down the nearest drain) Suitable for ages 8 years + Size: 12 x 3.5 x 2.5cm
