"Big Trouble in Little China, 1986"
Jack: When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, looks you crooked in the eye and asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wang Chi: Here's to the Army and Navy, and the battles they have won. Here's to America's colors, the colors that never run.
Jack Burton: May the wings of Liberty never lose a feather.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jack: It's going to take crackerjack timing Weng.
Wang Chi: Ready, Jack?
Jack: I was born ready.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jack: "What? I'm supposed to buy this shit? 2000 years and you can't find one broad to fit the bill? Come on Dave, you must be doing something seriously wrong."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Girl: "You have a gun, I hope?"
Jack: "I have a knife"
Girl: "A knife, that guy's 12 feet tall."
Jack: "7. Hey, don't worry about it. I can handle it. I took something."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyone tell me who played the girl "Gracie Law" without looking it up?
Gypsy, that was Tangerine Dream who did that song, IIRC.

Not a cult classic - I didn't even remember I had seen it until looking through a plot summary - but does anyone remember a movie called The Fourth War (1990)? Roy Scheider and Jürgen Prochnow as an American and a Soviet (Czech?) colonel facing off in a personal vendetta that could ignite WWIII, with Tim "Venus Flytrap" Reid, Harry Dean Stanton and Dale Dye.
What led me there was a list of Jürgen Prochnow movies. I suppose you could have a Jürgen Prochnow mini-cult:
Das Boot
The Keep
Dune
Beverly Hills Cop II
Judge Dredd
Air Force One
An R. Lee Ermey cult:
The Boys in Company C
Full Metal Jacket
The Siege of Firebase Gloria
Saving Silverman
... and throw in Fletch Lives and, if you are a masochist for Seagal, On Deadly Ground
A Dale Dye cult:
Platoon
Casualties of War
Born on the Fourth of July
Under Siege and Under Siege II: Dark Territory (more Seagal)
Mission: Impossible
"Band of Brothers"
... and pretty much every other war movie (and Oliver Stone movie) since Platoon. My biggest beef with Capt. Dye, though, is his willingness to lend his credibility to these movies no matter how negatively they might portray the military.

Long time since I've been here but this thread pulled me in:
-The Third Man
-Permanent Vacation
-Time Stands Still
-Peter Greenaway in general
-but especially The Droughtsman's Contract
Will have to think of some more recent films. Too much wine tonight.

Ryan Phillipe:"What Do you think?"
Benicio Del Toro: "I think a Plan Is just a List of things that don't happen."
How about :
The Usual Suspects
or
Miller's Crossing
I didn't care for Miller's Crossing as a whole, but the scene in which the '21 Thompson gun w/C drum is the main character is one of my favorite scenes of all time

NDD, do the research, for as I'm concerned John Wayne never made a bad movie.
For " A fist FUll Of DOllars" or " For Few Dollars More" we'll "Hang'em High" at "High Noon".

billie, Permanent Vacation? wow. That is the one Jim Jarmusch film that I haven't seen yet. Cant find it. Huge fan. Since there is two of us, I suppose JJ films can count as "cult"
these two JJ in particular:
-Down by Law
-Dead Man
also, films by Wayne Wang
-Smoke
-Blue in the Face
films by David Mamet
-Heist
-State and Main
-Spartan
-The Spanish Prisoner
also,
-Baraka
-Charade
-The Wages of Fear
-Aguire, The Wrath of God
-Fitzcarraldo
-The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension
-Heat
-The Magnificent Seven
-Once Upon a Time in The West
-True Romance
-Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
-Hero
edit to add:
DDD, I had not read the whole thread and did not see your mention of Buckaroo Banzai. You are not alone!!

I'll add in some "foreign" films, since it only seems to be mainly Americanski films listed thus far. 
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. (UK) I'm sure most here would have seen it.
Good Bye Pork Pie (NZ- Lad drives a Mini Cooper rather speedily down NZ in order to do...something, can't remember what).
Braindead (NZ)- Peter Jackson, of Lord Of The Sleep fame, did this when he was younger. It's a decent comedy that involves aliens and some dodgy special effects.
