Well if it's literal cults then the pickings are far slimmer, i can only think of The Wicker Man ( 70's version not the bloody awful Nicolas Cage remake ), Rosemary's Baby, The Stand, & Silent Hill, that's all i can come up with, & out of those The Wicker Man stands head & shoulders above the rest.
your favorite cult movie..

Wow I haven't seen that for years, must watch it. It's kind of a forbidden planet meets Alien cash in.
I don’t think it’s even popular enough to qualify as a cult film, but the film that I will shout about from the rooftops to my death is the utterly absurd Leslie Nielsen comedy Wrongfully Accused. It is so, so, so stupid (in the same way that Airplane is) that even the thought of making the film is enough to make me smile.
The scene with the train is probably in my top scenes in any films ever, serious or otherwise. Just when you think it can’t get any more stupid it doubles down. It you can’t be bothered to watch the whole thing the bit starts from 3:00 in.
In relation to the above clip (which I suggest you don’t spoil):

When the train peaks round the corner... oh god lord... that is funny

Lost Boys is one of my favourite films full stop, let alone cult film.
Time bandits
Quadrophenia
Hard boiled
Full metal jacket
Ichi the killer
Napoleon Dynamite
Last lesser known film I watched that really got under my skin was The Ballad of Buster Scruggs

I have absolutely no idea what a cult film, but looking after the first 110 posts:
Post # 19 - Rocky Horror Picture Show
Post # 60 - Goonies
Post # 70 - Mad Max 2
Post # 108 - Time Bandits
If I was to pick 1, then it would be the Goonies.

Brain Dead, Peter Jackson's greats work
So funny, when bits end up in the soup.
Goonies for me, watched it more times than any other film.

Withnail and I.
Reading through the thread many of the films listed aren't even close to cult films. Metropolis (cinema classic), Mad Max 2 (franchise movie, and not even the first in a franchise at that), The Thing (again I favourite of mine).
Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Jaws, Ghostbusters, The Terminator - all great films, but none of them are cult films. I love Fight Club, but it's not a cult film it's like saying Ther Matrix is a cult film, or calling GOT or Soparanos a 'cult' TV shows.
The Big Lebowski is a cult film, but Alien isn't a cult film, both are all-time faves of mine. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a cult film, Repo Man is a cult film, Brazil is a cult film, Time Bandits is a cult film, Napoleon Dynamite is also. Boondock Saints? YES!

This. I'm not convinced middle aged me would like it as much as 20 year old me did, so I'm deliberately not re-watching it, but happy memories.
What's a cult film?
Pffft, elitist alternative sub culture snowflaking or what!
Betchya gone with the wind and the Wizard of Oz are two of the biggest films of all times with a past audience, a current audience and no doubt a future audience... Cult?
