I've heard of but never seen Cannibal Women in the Avacado Jungle of Death, ditto Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell and Surf Nazis Must Die. Troma just has the best titles ever.
Another one that I'd like to see at some point is "Night of the Blood Llama" if only for the line "Does everything from Texas spit toxic cud?"
Not sure if "They Call Me Trinity" and "Trinity is Still My Name" count for cult, but, if they do, they're up there. "The Advenures of Buckaroo Banzai: Across the Eight Dimension" is almost certainly cult, and that's a great one. "It's Big Boo-Tay! Big Boo-Tay!"
Rocky Horror probably counts as does Army of Darkness.
Donnie Darko might count if it is merely a matter of lack of initial popularity, but I was under the impression that most cult flicks aren't good because they're good stories, but because they're so bad that they're funny. Ed Wood's opus is the benchmark. If that's the case, then Donnie Darko is not in that category.
Let me make it perfectly clear that no John Hughes movie is a cult classic, and no movie that tries to be a John Hughes movie is a cult classic. If it's largely about teens or tweens acting adorably angsty, then it ain't cult. Think less John Hughs and more John Waters, less Rob Lowe, more Divine.
Conan the Republican was never in a cult movie, nor was Sly Stallone. Try Roddy Piper. Another one I haven't seen, but I've heard good things about: They Live.
