Well, realistically, this is close, although I'm not saying they're the BEST cult classics... they are some of the biggest names. By the way, i didn't put in things like The Matrix or Pulp Fiction, even though they might count as cult films.

10. Dawn of the Dead
9. Wayne's World
8. Little Shop of Horrors
7. Evil Dead Series
6. Heavy Metal
5. Crash
4. A Clockwork Orange
3. The Crow
2. Evil Dead Series
1. Rocky Horror Picture Show

7. Monty Python's Holy Grail
6. Heavy Metal
5. Crash
4. A Clockwork Orange
3. The Crow

Donnie Darko will be a cult classic... gotta give it a little while, though. Big L is a good one... just not big enough to make the list.

JD-I disagree with A Clockwork Orange. If no Tarantino film can be a 'cult' film, no Kubrick film can be either. I do, however, agree the The Rocky Horror Picture Show is the #1 cult fim ever.

But you see, CWO has a hardcore, cult following. You can tell by the way people dress like Alex for parties and things, and talk like him. Pulp Fiction has a more general following, rather than a cult following. You could argue that Reservoir Dogs is a cult film, but I don't think it's a big enough one to make my list, although it's better than most of those movies.

what about equilibrium? the following is not huge but i think it could make its way onto that list

'In rode the Lord of the Nazgul. A great black shape against the fires beyond, he loomed up, grown to a vast menace of despair. In rode the Lord of the Nazgul, under the archway that no enemy ever yet had passed, and all fled before his face.
All save one. There, waiting silent and still in the space before the gate, sat Gandalf upon Shadowfax : Shadowfax, who alone among the free horses of the earth endured the terror, unmoving, steadfast as a graven image in Rath Dinen.'

I didn't forget the matrix, its following was just a bit too mainstream for me to term it 'cult'. Some people would, though.
