Also, something I'd like to mention about my list, a lot of those ARE legitimate cult films, but some of them are well-known/well-loved in their original countries of origin, just not here.

A film doesn't need to have a low budget, or no major stars or be initially unsuccessful in order to become a cult. All a cult film is is one that's developed a special relationship with its audience, where they start quoting lines to one another, re-enacting key scenes among themselves, stuff like that. In that sense, probably the greatest cult movie of all time is Star Wars.
