DR strangelove, maybe a classic, but just about sums up Americas Bush as it is today, of course Peter Sellers was genius in this flick.
 
Thank you for all your suggestions - there are quite a few i have seen but some good suggestions for ones i haven't.

As for GWTW!! Well where do i start - this is only my favourite film of all time. I have about 5 copies of it both of video and DVD and i never ever get tired of this film - i love Vivien Leigh!! Oh my i can't gush enough about this film :D
 
Lululamb, I would have an 80's revivial with:

Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Sixteen Candles
Weird Science
The Breakfast Club
Some Kind of Wonderful
Pretty in Pink
St. Elmo's Fire
The secret of my success

then some cheesy horror like:

Phantasm I-IV
Fright Night 1-2
Evil Dead 1-3


Hey, but thats just me........................
 
Mine too - you have great taste!
Maybe we are on a similar wavelength - if so I would also suggest, Shawshank Redemption, Towing Inferno, Fargo, Goodfellows, Alien and Aliens, Talented Mr Ripley and Kind Hearts and Coronets! Enjoy x
 
I suppose we could all produce a sizeable list. I would add "Picnic at Hanging Rock" for people to try out. It wont please everybody as its fairly slow paced but it has(to me) a unique dreamily weirdly strange atmosphere. (I find it hard to describe it as you may gather)
 
Blade Runner
The Magnificent Seven
2001: A Space Odyssey
Apocalypse Now
A Clockwork Orange
Reservoir Dogs
Battle Royale
Citizen Kane
LA Confidential
All The President's Men
Goodfellas
The Shawshank Redemption
Twelve Monkeys
Carlito's Way
Sin City
Cube
High Fidelity
Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels
 
Any & All films based on books by Philip K Dick:

Minority Report
Blade Runner
Paycheck
Imposter
Total Recall

Also the SciFi classic: The Forbidden Planet.

If you want to do the extreme in cultishness you could try the SciFi super-classic, silent movie (I think it was the first SciFi film ever made):
Metropolis

Then there are:
War Games
Weird Science
Back to the Future
Garfield (not everyone's bowl of porridge though)
Matrix I, II, III
Serenity
The Butterfly Effect
Equilibrium
Antitrust (if you're into computers)
Brazil (another classic)
Eraserhead (very seriously weird)
Dark City
2001
2010
Mercury Rising
Sixth Sense

And on a totally non-SciFi note:
A Beautiful Mind.
 
I concur with most of the above posts, so I'll skip repeating those great films and instead mention some more off-beat movies that I know I'll never forget:-

Dead Man
Solaris (The original Russian film)
Naked lunch
Videodrome
Dark Star
The General (Buster Keaton)
Death Race 2000
THX 1138
The Quatermass Conclusion
Doppelg
