12 monkeys (both the movie and the tv show)

2001: a space odyssey

 

john carpenter's in the mouth of madness (imho, his best work)

 

david cronenberg:

videodrome

dead ringers

naked lunch

eXistenZ

 

if you like low budget, creative sci-fi / fantasy movies;

triangle

time lapse

coherence

predestination

the infinite man

 

the others, underrated horror movie by alejandro amenabar

 

atom egoyan's the sweet hereafter

 

if you haven't watched them because you think they're cheesy, you should give these 3 a chance:

a nightmare on elm street

a nightmare on elm street 3

wes craven's new nightmare

Awesome selections, i'm a huge fan of David Croenberg's work and own alot of his 70's and 80's work like the Brood and Shivers.

Also really loved Coherence as well.

Wow....not many "cult" movies in here at all...couple were: Spinal Tap, Rocky Horror...Holy Grail...

 

If you can get your hands on it, McVicar.

 

 A cult film is any film that has a cult following, although the term is not easily defined and can be applied to a wide variety of films.[2] The definition is occasionally expanded to exclude films that have been released by major studios or have big budgets,[3] try specifically to become cult films,[4] or become accepted by mainstream audiences and critics.[5] Cult films are defined by audience reaction as much as they are content.[6] This may take the form of elaborate and ritualized audience participation, film festivals, or cosplay.[2] Over time, the definition has become more vague and inclusive as it drifts away from earlier, stricter views.[7] Increasing use of the term by mainstream publications has resulted in controversy, as cinephiles argue that the term has become meaningless[8] or "elastic, a catchall for anything slightly maverick or strange".

 

Mad Max, Heavy Metal, The man who fell to earth, The Warriors, Barbarella, Pink Floyd The Wall, Soylent Green, Beyond the valley of the dolls, Tommy, Up in Smoke.

Bubba Ho-Tep (starring Bruce Campbell)

 

Elvis didn't die, he faked his death and now resides in a run-down retirement home in Texas when an Ancient-Egypt Mummy attacks the residents there.  It's up to Elvis and a paralyzed black man who thinks he's JFK to save the community.

 Winner!!! This one is absolutely must watch.
