Club Dread had its moments but their other movies are better.
My favorites are all monty Python, a Clockwork Orange, Rocky horror picture and Mystery Science Theater 3000.
Love old movies more than most of the crap Hollywood is puttin out recently, Mostly remakes

I grew up with Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Brother and Sister were big in the theatricality of it all. I got in every weekend for free to watch all the phreaks act out the show.

Watership down

Watership Down. Billed a childern's movie and that was WAY wrong. The animation is very similar to Disney. The story is about 2 opposing tribes of rabbits that violently/graphically attack each other.
I remember as a child my mother would take me to the children's movie and then to A&W for $2 special of 2 coney dogs and 2 rootbeers (we each had one). This particular movie I remember parents dragging screaming children out of the theater. My mom wanted to go but I was enjoying the movie so we stayed. I own my own copy, it may be very hard to find...

Suburbia
Shaun of the Dead
And for some odd reason, JFK. If it comes on, I need to watch it.

Most of these seem pretty mainstream (aside from Evil Dead and maybe Watership Down) to me. How about The Orphanage, Feast, Tetro, Bubba Ho-Tep, Fido, Machete, Orgazmo, and/or Very Bad Things...?
I used to watch a lot of movies..

I was thinking about that too.
But even when they become more widely popular they still somehow fit into the "cult" category ... so I went to Wiki ...
"A cult film, also commonly referred to as a cult classic, is a film that has acquired a highly devoted but specific group of fans.[1] Often, cult movies have failed to achieve fame outside the small fanbases; however, there have been exceptions that have managed to gain fame among mainstream audiences. Many cult movies have gone on to transcend their original cult status and have become recognized as classics; others are of the "so bad it's good" variety and are destined to remain in obscurity."
