"The Adventures Of Robin Hood" is considered a 'cult movie'?

The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) is a great film ... but it is not a cult film
A cult film, also commonly referred to as a cult classic, is a film that has acquired a cult following. Cult films are known for their dedicated, passionate fanbase, an elaborate subculture that engage in repeated viewings, quoting dialogue, and audience participation.

I have to disagree with calling this true classic a cult film. It is neither obscure nor unpopular with mainstream audiences.
On the contrary - it was one of the most popular movies of 1938-39, and was the most expensive Warner Bros film up to that time. It turned out to be the studio's biggest money-maker of 1939, making back far more than its cost.
It also turned Errol Flynn into a major star.

This is imo one of the greatest adventure movies ever made and it is a true classic. But I have to agree with the other posters that this film does not meet the definition of a Cult Film.

Still the best Robin Hood film made in my opinion. I would like a more serious one as well but so far a good one has not been done.

It's one of the best adventure films ever and THE DEFINITIVE Robin Hood movie but it's NOT a cult movie. No matter what Danny Peary may have told you.

How in the Sam Hill is The Adventures Of Robin Hood a cult movie? It's the greatest swashbuckler ever made.

'Captain Blood' made Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland into major stars

One of the earliest gay movies in history. Dude in tights playing hide and seek with "The Sheriff" in the forest.

I enjoyed it, but Richard Greene will always be Robin Hood to me.

Errol Flynn will always be Robin Hood to me, just as his frequent costar Basil Rathbone will always be Sherlock Holmes to me, as Sean Connery will always be Bond to me, and as Christopher Reeve will always be Superman to me. Whenever anyone mentions one of these characters, these actors are the first who come to my mind. Interesting how that works, but not surprising, I suppose.
