I've also liked idiocracy,k a scanner darkly, and donnie darkly.

Since we have widened the definition of what a cult film is here I'll widen my list of favorite movies. I shall include animes to:
FLCL
(at a time before it was more popularized by adultswim it was)

I was horrified when I found out they were gonna dub "FLCL" into English because it has so many Japanese langauge puns and cultural references in it, but it's become quite possibly the single best dub i've ever seen.

Has anyone seen Biozombie?
It was horror comedy made in Japan. The dialogue was hilarious because they sounded like dudes from California.

Buffalo '66 was a good movie. Where else can one see a movie where the first 20 minutes involve someone looking for a bathroom.

Oh yeah, Arm of Darkness, that was hilarious in a corny way. I got the other 2 that go before it. They weren't as good.
I almost forgot about Buffalo 66, it's been a while since I've seen it.
Loved Velvet Goldmine, good music and costumes.

I love all kinds of films but you have to be in the right mood.

Sometimes I like cult - Clockwork Orange, Dr Strangelove, Rocky Horror etc.
Sometimes I like classic - Universal monsters, Nosferatu, Vampyr etc..

I've been going through a bit of a foreign film phase over the last few years....

I like blockbusters when I don't feel like thinking much and I've got a real problem in that I like a lot of "BAD" Science Fiction and Horror films (like Highlander, Screamers etc)..

I was expecting to feel so-so about Freaks but I loved it. The DVD had a great featurette on it too.
