Top 25 cult films of all time. Which of your favorites are there, and which are missing.

I can agree with a lot of these, but I'm very sad to not see "Heathers" on the list.

They recently had a Big Lebowski celebration in Minneapolis - everyone wore boxers and robes and drank white russians, then went bowling. Pre-kids I totally would have been there, just to watch everyone else.
Howard the Duck?

Any of the Tales from the Crypt - love the Cryptkeeper.
I'm surprised Harold and Maude and Heathers didn't make the list as well. And I guess by what I consider the "classic" definitions of cult films, so bad they are good or too quirky for mainstream success, Blade Runner doesn't seem to fit in this list.
Life Aquatic? Office Space?

Any John Waters movie? (Which I think one was on that list)
Clockwork was on the list I thought?
Oh Harold and Maude, totally!

How about Repo Man and Harold & Maude?
The Princess Bride is not a cult film.
I wouldn't call Goonies a cult film either.
Killer Klowns from Outer Space

Pee-Wee's Big Adventure (for me, anyway)

Dune

Labyrinth (really can't believe this list is missing this one...)

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (...and this one)
I love Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. We need to bring that one back to the cult mainstream!
Damn, Heathers was the very first one I thought of. I would have also listed Weird Science, Real Genius, Wayne's World, Clockwork Orange.

I think Princess Bride and Goonies were not lastingly popular with anyone other than geeks, which is what makes them cult classics.
Weird Science! Totally.

I disagree...I think Princess Bride extends beyond a "cult" audience. I don't know of many people who have not seen that movie. Goonies too. For a generation, Goonies is a classic, not a cult movie.
