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.

Inclusive definitions allow for major studio productions, especially box office bombs, while exclusive definitions focus more on obscure, transgressive films shunned by the mainstream.

The difficulty in defining the term and subjectivity of what qualifies as a cult film mirror classificatory disputes about art.

The term cult film itself was first used in the 1970s to describe the culture that surrounded underground films and midnight movies, though cult was in common use in film analysis for decades prior to that.

Cellulose acetate film, or safety film, is used in photography as a base material for photographic emulsions.

It was introduced in the early 20th century by film manufacturers as a safe film base replacement for unstable and highly flammable nitrate film.

Blu-ray or Blu-ray Disc (BD) is a digital optical disc data storage format.

It was designed to supersede the DVD format, in that it is capable of storing high-definition (720p and 1080p) and ultra high-definition video resolution (2160p).

The plastic disc is 120 mm in diameter and 1.2 mm thick, the same size as DVDs and CDs.

Conventional (pre-BD-XL) Blu-ray Disc discs contain 25 GB per layer, with dual layer discs (50 GB) being the industry standard for feature-length video discs.

Triple-layer discs (100 GB) and quadruple layers (128 GB) are available for BD-XL re-writer drives.

The name "Blu-ray" refers to the blue laser (specifically, a violet laser) used to read the disc, which allows information to be stored at a greater density than is possible with the longer-wavelength red laser used for DVDs.

The main application of Blu-ray is as a medium for video material such as feature films and physical distribution of video games for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

Besides the hardware specifications, Blu-ray is associated with a set of multimedia formats.

Film preservation, or film restoration, describes a series of ongoing efforts among film historians, archivists, museums, cinematheques, and non-profit organizations to rescue decaying film stock and preserve the images which they contain.
