Well then I guess I'm in the minority...I think it's highly overrated. But, I don't really like Ed Norton. That's probably why I didn't like it. They could have picked someone better for that role IMO.
Got a tip for us?

What a surprise that someone with the name Mr. Durden like Fight Club.
I'll agree, it couldn't have been better.
I'll add Grosse Pointe Blank.

Forgot about "The Princess Bride" great classic movie.
Someone mentioned "Army of Darkness" but don't forget "Evil Dead 1 & 2" or "Bubba-Ho-Tep"
I think the title is referring to the characters quest for happiness.jelloshotsrule said:
Perhaps the title should be "Happiness?"
I would go with Fight Club also, great following.

I saw Pink Flamingos when I was 13 years old, as well as some other disturbing movies. I like John Waters films in general, but wow.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Waters_(filmmaker)

I'm seeing a lot of quirky, clever or offbeat mainstream films here. Fight Club? Big Lebowski? Office Space? Princess Bride? Being John Malkovich? These are all just successful mainstream films that had enough character to be worth repeat viewings. These aren't cult films.
Oh Boy, so many movies, so little space....
Blade Runner. I think it warrants cult status.
Mullholland Drive I still haven't figured it all out yet, but I'm working on it.
Last Houst on the Left. See it once, if you haven't seen it yet.
The Beyond. Gory italian horror pics don't get much better than this one. They used to show it at the Coolidge corner movie house (Brookline, MA) on Halloween, but that practice stopped some years back.
Ed Wood In Black and white, a good movie about a guy who made bad movies. It's arguable as to whether or not it has Cult status.
Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry. This is what 70's Drive-In flicks are all about. finally released to DVD a few months ago.
Vanishing Point. One of the best chase movies ever.
Caltiki, the Immortal Monster! If you're like me, you love those ultra cheap, black and white 50's monster movies from the 50's and early 60's. This is one of the best. You can get it on DVD from some of the non-mainstream dealers, but the quality varies. I'm investigating to find a decent edition.
Santa Claus Conquers The Martians! Uh, if you think "Plan 9 from Outer space" was the worst movie ever made, you have not seen this.
Black Sunday. Not that movie about a blimp exploding over the superbowl from the 70's, but the italian horror movie from the early 60's that starred the immortal Barbara Steele. The opening scene, involving heavy iron mask being literally nailed onto Barbara's face was deemed to gruesome from american movie goers of that time. This was on DVD, but has mysteriously become scarce.
All I can think of for now.

I like horror movies so, I would go with evil dead. Not sure if these count as cult classics but psycho, and rosemary's baby.

Its funny you say that. I like Edward Norton, but before Fight Club I HATED Brad Pitt. Now I like him. I've even gone back and watched some of his older movies that I wouldnt watch before because he was in them.
And of course, now that he's nailing my favorite female actress (actually, favorite female, period) Angelina Jolie, I must say that Brad Pitt is the shiznet.
Oh yeah. How about Monty Python's Search for The Holy Grail for cult movie?
Kudos to whoever mentioned Buckaroo Banzai...I was going to post it! What about these...
Woody Allen's Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Sex (but were afraid to ask)
Terry Gilliam's Brazil and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen
