'Cult' films?

Once were Warriors - powerful as hell.

The Gods must be Crazy 1&2 - awesome low budget naïve slapstick

agreed once were warriors

Local Hero**, already had a mention
Gregorys Girl
That Sinking Felling, about to be released on DVD
Submarine

Forgot Heathers.

Aki Kaurismäki

The Limey
Amelie
Le Samurai
The Killer
Dogma
Subway

if Lynch brought you here, try Yorgos Lanthimos' Dogtooth.

Other than that, 2nd (maybe 3rd) votes for Dead Man's Shoes, Withnail and I and Oldboy.

All gamechangers for me.

Dogtooth is great!

I think this thread will be more useful if we work on a definition of cult.

Considering:

Age of film?
Level of success at box office?
Notable following?
Themes?
References?
Styles?
Music?
...

Repo Man - must fit all criteria for a cult film and is ace.
"The more you drive, the less intelligent you are"

^^Not necessarily. Wayne's World and Weird Science are cult to my mind, as is Ferris Bueller's Day Off and John Hughes generally.

On the other side of that is something like Irreversible, which takes most of its cult motifs from how you describe them while being an entirely different experience to the other films I've mentioned.

If the OP likes Tarantino style stuff check out the Aussie film Two Hands, it

features Heath Ledger and is set around Kings Cross and Bondi Junction .

Mad Max .

The Hunger. Lesbian vampire romp and Bowie.

Christiane F. Drugs, Berlin and more Bowie.

Chopper.

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer.

Good thread.

Hellraiser
Delicatessen
Inception
Angel Heart
Airplane
Godfather
Alien 1
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Kung-Fu Hustle
Matrix
Dr Strangelove
Pink Panther (Peter Sellers)

Zulu. Not necessarily historically accurate but a bloody good filum.

Dogma
... Love that film!

Fear & Loathing

Pan's Labyrinth
