Cult Films

As KR are a bunch of high class intellectual citizens I would not be surprised to find that most of you are familiar with, or adore at least several cult movies.
I was looking at Wikipedia's definition of Cult films (cross-linked from "The Warriors"), to find that I have quite a few of these in among my favorites: -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_film
So firstly I see a few movies that I have even promoted on the forums in the past, like "Harold and Maude" and "The Warriors". And I even see "Office Space" (an old favourite) which I personally wouldn't consider cult, but there you go!
I love "Dune", and I love "Blade Runner" (cult cyber-punk, can't go wrong), "The Breakfast Club" (the awesome brat pack movie), "The Beastmaster". I'm so-so on "A Clockwork Orange" and "Evil Dead" & "Night of the Living Dead" (hehe) before I became a Christian (20 years ago). Also, I think I know Rocky Horror word for word, and that's including the words you shout out (not in the script) from the audience whist watching it.
And to my eternal embarrassment I have to admit having seen "Pink Flamingos" (and "Polyester" with Divine) - I am not recommending it, its a sick movie, but what can I say? I have 2 older brothers
(I seriously do not recommend any John Waters movie.)
Final note: Cult movies are such because they appeal to a (mostly twisted) sub-culture - I'm straight-edge myself, but grew up with interesting friends, and even more interesting older brothers - so I'm saying I'm not recommending any of these, and also don't judge me by them >.<
