Over a decade ago, these problems received critical and scholarly attention in the rich and provocative work of writers such as Henry Jenkins, J. The problem, though, is that it remains difficult to define what makes a cult film: is it the particular formal qualities that inhere in a given film or body of films certain marketing strategies employed by the film industry to publicise and exhibit films in such a way as to garner new audiences or is it the intent of audience members to embrace a film that otherwise might go unnoticed within the domain of 'mainstream' spectatorship (whatever that might be)? The idea of the cult film is a tantalising one, not least to historians and critics of cinema and popular media, because it offers the sense that not all viewing practices and habits of reception are normative.
