Dirty Dancing was a low budget rubbish film never expected to go on release and it never did, except in a very limited way. Yet gradually its cult status grew and today it is one of the all time classics.
I would like to nominate two other films, both British and both low budget for inclusion on the UKH roll of honour. Both carry gay themes but I am not gay and don't have any agenda there.
Kinky Boots, fabulous performances and happy ending
Pride, Basically a true story and gritty
Now its up to you lot, its going to be a long winter, recommend some quality viewing for me to watch

How about Nuts in May? I bet they even had some change left over from the budget after filming finished.
Another 'classic' was Loved Up, from the mid 90's

duel, two lane black top, american graffiti, convoy, mad max 1 and 2(the rest are shite) fight club, snatch, italian job(original) pulpfiction, reservoir dogs, angles share,

Maybe Not really classics,but I always enjoy the "On The Busses" trilogy of films,& the Steptoe & Son films too. Also, most of the "Ealing Comedies" get my vote.
