- Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999) - Poetic, visual feast
- Saved! (2004) - Mandy Moore at the top of her game
- Napoleon Dynamite (2004) - Too many lines quoted, still funny
- Monty Python's The Holy Grail (1975) - Not as good as the Flying Circus, but classic
- Brazil (1985) - A beautiful nightmare
- Labyrinth (1986) - It appeals to my 80s childishness

- Usual Suspects (1995) - Excellent storytelling
- Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid - Seventies lovin'
- Blade Runner (1982) - Cold, dark, aching

- Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971) - Weird, fun-creepy.
- Fantasia (1940) - Comforting, not exciting
- Little Shop of Horrors (1960) - Funny 60s "horror"
- Dr. Strangelove (1964) - It's a little too dark for me
- Fargo - I think I got it, but the killing of the cop was more than I could handle
- Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert - cross dressing road movie, like Connie & Carla, probably better
- Raising Arizona - Haven't seen, but it's got Holly Hunter, so it's a must

Hat tip to JohnnyW
filmsite.org's list of cult films
There are some really campy or independent ones I like that are so far off the radar, they're not even cult. But that's another list.

Thanks for the hat tip!
I like most of these (I won't get into the one major exception, The Princess Bride;)), but especially Ghost Dog. I can't get enough of it. If you like the RZA soundtrack, you ought to hear the album Heavy Mental, by Killa Priest; he's the one rapping on a couple of the tracks.
I also lived Saved!, so I have to like it...
