I saw Rushmore on Comedy Central a couple of weeks ago and thought it was pretty funny.

Even though I haven't gotten around to watching it yet, I also purchased a copy of the first Wes Anderson-Owen Wilson collaboration, Bottle Rocket, off of EBay, which looks really good too.

There are too many to list, but these remind me particularly of what it was like around 1995-7...

Clueless
    "She's a full on Monet."

Wayne's World I
    "Exsqueeze me? Baking power?"

Waynes World II
    "We had to beat him to death with his own shoes..."

The Craft
    "Watch out for the wierdos"
    "We are the wierdos, mister."

Titanic
    "I'm the king of the woooooooooorld!"

Hmmm. That's about all I can think of right now.

I think a few people are missing the point of something being called 'cult'.  It ussually doesn't have a large following to begin with, but has rabid fans that refuse to let the movie die.

I would hardly call Titanic a 'cult' hit.

My vote is for Army of Darkness.

agreed. a lot of the movies listed aren't even close to cult. cult movies are almost always low budget, independant films or have a script so bad that it's cheesy like showgirls.

my list..
reservoir dogs
clerks
dead man
army of darkness
true romance
killing zoe
man bites dog
swing blade
swingers
blair witch project

As you can see by my new avatar, I am also a Big Lebowski fan.

Another one I like is "Get Shorty." The sequel, "Be Cool," just came out, and I am looking forward to seeing it.
