Movie Theater Cult classics... since there doesn't seem to be a thread... And we need some movies to watch!

Yeah, I don’t think the responders to this OP are adhering to the “cult” part of the equation. My thinking of cult films is a feature that kind of bombed or went unnoticed in the theater but gained a small but devoted following in the home market. But to answer your question, no I haven’t seen any of the movies on the list.
Again, don’t know if this adheres to the cult criteria but Big Trouble In Little China was a fun flick.
Boondock Saints is a good one, if you liked that check out War On Everyone. I had never heard of this movie and stumbled on it on Netflix.
Better off Dead was a favorite growing up, it’s probably one of those movies that depends on how old you were when you first saw it.

How bout Mr Majestic?
Chun......master of Shinanju.
Highlander (the original and none of the sequels)
Definitely, BigTrouble In Little China. Curt Russel was great, as were all the Chinese actors. All of them. I used to run around some of those parts of San Francisco, when my dad was stationed at Hamilton AFB. Those Chinese kids could kick ass.
The Thing: Both of them.
The Blob (original)
The Last Starfighter (My kids liked it so I enjoyed it too)
They Live.

1951, 1982, 2011...What do you mean by both of them???
Judge Dredd starring Slyvester Stallone is cult classic.
If you liked The Outsiders try Rumble Fish and Tex. Over the Edge is Matt Dillon's first movie and worth a watch.
City of Lost Children. Ron Perlman but subtitled.
Pawn Shop Chronicles. More Matt Dillon and Brendan Frasier as a Elvis impersonator. Lots of violence but a comedy really.

The fifth element. Now that qualifies as a cult classic. Didn’t know it existed until it came on one Sunday afternoon. Now I own it.

3 things...
1. Agreed boondock Saints was excellent. Really excellent.
2. After the abortion of a movie that was the sequel, your the only person I know clamoring for a third.
3. Ain’t gonna happen. Apparently the director is a real PIA.(which is why the sequel took so long to happen). And the second was a financial disaster. Pretty sure they aren’t going to give him any money.
Leeloo Dallas, Multipass. Such a good movie.
It is. And I can’t even tell you why. Except that either every character was either perfectly casted or they each made the role so entirely their own you’d think they wrote their own lines.
And why is she so damn cute when she says “multi pass”?

A couple of Terence Hill westerns have been on TV lately, and I've begun re-watching some of my favorites. These are real cult westerns.
They Call Me Trinity
Trinity is Still My Name
My Name is Nobody
God Forgives...I Don't!
Aces High (sequal to "God Forgives...") Eli Wallach ( Of "The Good the Bad...the Ugly fame) does a fantastic job.

No one has mentioned it... but one of my favorite cult westerns is on mgm, I think with Several showings next few days.
The Missouri Breaks with Jack Nicholson and Marlon Brando. Amazingly psychotic pairing!
“I’m a sawed off sportsman!”
Great movie!

The Quick and the Dead
1951, and 1982, were cult classics (not a box office smash, but quite popular with viewers) . 2011 was a precursor type movie, not canon, and also never achieved "culthood". The one with Kurt Russel, was very closely aligned witht he original story by John W. Campbell, "Who Goes There" . The first black and white movie featured James Arness in his first appearance in film. As the monster. Also featured a directing technique of having actors speak over each other.
Night of the Comet and Trancers
A Gathering of Eagles... damn, that's drawing deep from the well.
Except for the original posting of Harold and Maude and the regularly offered Rocky Horror Picture Show I don't see many other true "cult" offerings, though Kir stumbled onto 4 or 5 in his list of movies. Most all the rest are regularly available on network TV for viewing. I bet less than 15% of the rest that've been offered qualify as true "cult" movies...
If "cult" means rarely broadcast, nor regularly mentioned (and maybe with a devoted following), then here's my list:
Short Eyes
Happy Accidents
A Million to Juan
Summertree
Johnny Got His Gun
Groundstar Conspiracy
Heroes (1977)
Steambath
The Air Up There
my marginal list (I don't know if they're broadcast or available for free on Prime, Roku, etc.):
KPAX
Double Take
Hopscotch
Hombre
Ulzana's Raid
The Naked Prey
The Yakuza
Who'll Stop the Rain

Another vote for Rocky Horror Picture Show. That is hands down my all-time favorite "cult" flick. We watch it fairly often, and always enjoy it.
I am also a big fan of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I laugh just as hard every time I watch it. My wife just looks at me and shakes her head. (She doesn't quite get the British humor.) Love it!

Raising Arizona makes me laugh like not too many others. Just hysterical dialogue and situations.

Not sure I'd call it a cult classic yet, but if you want a dark movie, I don't think you can get too much darker than A Serbian Film.
When was the last time anyone saw, "A Boy and His Dog" with Miami Vice's Don Johnson?
Kentucky Fried Movie is an absolute blast
Amazon Women on the Moon is VERY much like KFM. Arsenio Hall is fucking hilarious in his skit.
The Exorcist
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai
Romancing the Stone
War of the Roses
