I agree about the first three, meow, but how can you say Super Troopers doesn't have cult appeal? Meow.
It has some type of meow appeal; certainly not mass appeal. Meow. I'd call that cult appeal.

TR, really, you don't consider The longest Day a classic? How about The Green Berets? The Dirty Dozen?

Absolutely. They are all classics.
Look back to the title of this thread. I do not see them as cult movies.

My favorite line from Old School: "Hey, look, honey! Do you think that KFC is still open?"
Andy Dick was pretty freaky, too.

Was that line from Old School too? I know it was in Anchorman, one of the stupidest movies ever the first time I saw it. Now it is one of the funnier.

I agree with Boondock Saints. Apparnetly they finally pulled it together and the 2nd one, "All Saints Day" is back in production.
Another one for me would be "The Beast"

Those movies are actually very funny once you get past how stupid they are....and that probably makes them funny, the shear stupidity of the characters and actions.
My personal favorites are the Boondock Saints, Point Break, and Office Space.

I found Office Space to be very average. It had its funny moments but the satire was shit.
