Night of the Hunter is another amazing piece of art. Love it. I also read someone mentioned Brazil, that's another great one. Again, obviously people have been mentioning the likes of Lynch and Jarmusch. I really think you shouldn't leave Cronenberg out of the picture. His movies are CULT by definition really, Videodrome, Scanners, and my favorite...[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5HrHcgnWRw[/youtube]
Both leads played by Jeremy Irons in one of the best performances ever imo. Also based on a book that's a true story, which adds to the pull of the movie.

I am sure all of the more popular cult movies have been mentioned but my two are:

Meet the Feebles - Peter Jackson

and a good revisit Evil Dead by Sam Rami never hurt anyone.
