This coming of age story really looks like it should have been a cult classic. Why do I not see underground raving fans?

Cult classics aren't branded as such instantly, they become them in time.

This. I think it being on Netflx will certainly help it gain some additional visibility. I though it was great and really stuck with me.

Because this movie has only been out maybe 4 months?

Do you think "cult classic" is just a genre of film?

I'm trying to understand your train of thought

In order for a movie to become a cult classic, it takes a long time for it to go largely unrecognized, then years later it becomes a big deal.

Different genre, but an excellent example is "A Christmas Story."

How did "Soul Plane" get to become a cult classic? Give it time!

I guess that you don't know what the word Classic actually means

To make a great film you need three things - the script, the script and the script -Alfred Hitchcock

Its only been out for 5 minutes. It takes years for something to be a "Cult Classic".
