Have to agree about Cube - although the sequel is absolute tripe.

How about:

The Big Lebowski
Jacobs Ladder
Blazing Saddles and Spaceballs (!)

I'm not too sure if you can call it a classic (Although.... I would consider it one) but one of my favs is none other than Tron. The animation and things for it's time was pretty good. ^^

I liked Clockwork Orange a lot, would that qualify as an unpopular cult classic?

Great movie!
I've watched over and over. But, I made my wife watch it once and she was pissed at me for days. She still cringes when I talk about it.

Yes, it is a corker of a movie. Lenny is John B.

Very good list...some of my own favorites are on there (Heat, A Bronx Tale, Memento)...28 Days Later was really out there

Toxic Avenger
Glengarry Glenross
Wild Orchid
Streets of Fire
The Flamigo Kid

Got several black comedies on my list, I think they make the best cult classics, can't think of the titles right now, but the chick who was in Vis ...[text shortened]... t to mention, that girl's got her growler hanging about for half the movie. Always a plus.

Growler Out = Cult Classic
