Well, considering it was originally made as a low-budget film (the classic definition of a 'B' movie)
In days of old the studios classified their films as either "A" or "B" films. The "A" films got the top actors, the full court press publicity and wide distribution, while the "B" films enjoyed limited release and little-known (or has-been) actors. Word of mouth and good publicity propel "B" films to major motion picture status, eventually earning cult-film status.

Party Monster anyone?
that movie had the greatest soundtrack... between Stacey Q's "Two of Hearts" and a creepy ass Macaulay Culkin makes it worthwhile.
titles mentioned already:
But Im a Cheerleader
Slums of Beverly Hills (Natasha Lyonne = shiz)
Office Space (i quote this movie too much)
PCU is a good one, wouldnt watch it over and over though
movies im going to nominate (and feel free to second or reject these motions):
Napoleon Dynomite - its definitely one of those "either love it or hate it" movies.
Clueless - i know it made crazy money right but all of those actors were B-list at the time (Alicia Silverstone, Stacy Dash, Donald Faison, Brittney Murphy, Paul Rudd) and who HASN'T quoted a Clueless line before?

It's awesomely bad, and yet so entertaining. It's so bad I had to buy it. Watch it if you don't believe me.

the site even looks so B-list - i bet the movie was edited on iMovie or something. i SO wish this movie was on youtube cause im too ashamed to netflix it.

Well, the "homosexual camp" is like actually like a 10-step program camp to quit being a homosexual. And RuPaul is in it. Weird.

Sad to note... I own this film.

Not sure I consider Kev's stuff either a B movie, maybe a cult flick, but they still are more indie then cult to me.
Must admit that I really think Party Monster fits well here.... by far a great cult flick. I also think (as some have been mentioned) that all the Christopher Guest films are great fits here too!
