Cult classic movies.

Most of those already listed plus:

"Ice Pirates"
"Streets of Fire"
"Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone"
"The Sword and the Sorcerer"
"Beastmaster"
"I come in Peace" (later changed to Dark Angel for some reason:confused:)
"Bloodsport" (most of the '80s martial arts/ninja movies for that matter)
"Three O'clock High"
"Dogs in Space"
"Eating Raoul"
"Eat the Rich"
"I Spit on Your Grave"
"Looker"
"Runaway"
"Killing Zoe"
"The Dark Crystal"
"Doctor Detroit"
"Howard the Duck"
"Heavy Metal"
"Silent Running"
"The Green Slime"
Pretty much any Andy Sidaris production :o :D

The list goes on...

p.s. My friends and I used to comb the video stores looking for "big box movies". Our theory being that the larger and more elaborate the (VHS) box, the worse (better!) the movie. We were rarely (if ever) dissapointed.

Escape from New York, while not one of my favorites, a good example of a cult movie.

Big Trouble in Little China too.
 
Solent Green
Logan's Run
2001 a Space Odyssey (which still pisses me off every time I see it - it reminds me of how the US has squandered its technological/economic lead)
Alien
Excalibur
Star Wars
Fobbiden Planet (a true classic which inspired much of the later Star Trek TV series)
Plus, all of the giant bug movies of the 1950-60s

n2s

"The Sword and the Sorcerer"
"Eat the Rich"
"Silent Running"

:thumbup:

Sword was a particular blend of intentional and unintentional (I think) humour that added up to a decent cheesy sword 'n sorcery flick. Supposedly the sequel is finally in the works... but I ain't heard anything of it lately. :confused:

Ahh, Eat the Rich... "Are you dead yet?" "NO!"

Silent Running seemed oppressively bleak... yet somehow I enjoyed the movie in spite of it.

Another recommendation, not for the squeamish or cat lovers:

Hei Tai Yang 731: Men Behind the Sun.
 
Heavy Metal - all time favorite! Used to catch the midnight show of this whilst in tech school. :thumbup:
The Wall, while not a full length feature, should get an honorable mention, simply because it was shown on the big screen. :p

Harry and Walter Go to New York (James Caan singing and dancing! :eek:)
Lost Highway
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Trainspotting
The Thing... Is it just me or are there a lot of Kurt Russell movies being mentioned here??

Added: potential NEW cult classics - Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead, and The Full Monty...

Everything Rat said and also:

Bladerunner (has anyone seen the Final Cut? How is it compared to the Director's Cut) - best movie of all time

Repo Man

Rock 'n' Rule - an animated movie similar to Heavy Metal but had a possibly cooler soundtrack including Debbie Harry, Lou Reed, and Iggy Pop - all stuff original to the movie

Any of the Hammer Bros. horror movies
 
I can't believe nobody has mentioned "Strange Brew" with the MacKenzie brothers, etc. Eh, you hosers!

Step off, hoser! :p
Good catch, this one definitely deserves to be on the list. :thumbup:

For some reason, Flash Gordon and Barbarella just came to mind...
