With a cover like the one this book's got, you know you can't go too far wrong, right?

Pulp Fiction's Jules Winnfield isn't the only cool thing about Crazy4Cult: Cult Movie Art (out from Titan Books 6/21). The entire book is chock full of awesome fan art from cult classic movies -- from paintings to vinyl sculptures. There are mash-ups of various films, and almost all the paintings are uniquely stylized to have their own tone. It's the best coffee table book for any movie geek, with subject matter ranging from A Clockwork Orange to Pee-Wee.

The book features an introduction by director Kevin Smith, and while it's essentially the story of one sexual fantasy that Smith may or may not have had, it's the perfect opener for a book that's equal parts artistic and insane. You probably won't get all the references that the art makes in this book, but you'll enjoy getting the ones you know, and possibly finding out about a few more strange cult films as you go along. It shouldn't take Samuel L. Jackson pointing a gun at you to sound enticing.

Get it on Amazon.
