Amen to Omega Man. I thought I was the only freak who loved that film (and I would add Soylent Green to the list). Speaking of great Chuck Heston flicks, I still want to know what possessed them to remake Planet of the Apes and put in my vote to ensure that they don't remake any of the others. They took a campy classic and made it into a special effects freak show. I saw the new one at the theater and refuse to ever watch it again.
I would add Suburbia (not the Parker Posey one) to the cult classic list. I saw it as during my "mohawk days" and actually bought a used copy for like $1.99 at Blockbuster a couple of years back. You can read about it here

Another site states:
"No actors here, just real people. Director Penlope Spheeris, possibly America's surest hand in dealing with social rejects, knew she couldn't turn actors into punks. "I can," she says, "turn punks into actors." About 14 of these homeless L.A. kids crash all day and listen to 300 beats per minute speedrock at night. They live in condemned waste of a suburban area where wild dogs roam and emblazoned graffiti is reminiscent of Stanly Kubrick's ominous "Clockwork Orange." Filmed in realistic locations in a run-down suburb of Downey, CA (condemned to make way for the new Century Freeway to LAX) and in L.A. clubs, "SUBURBIA" is an original story by Spheeris. The production took place during the winter of 1982-1983 and lasted five weeks. Vincent Canby of the New York Times says SUBURBIA is "The best teenagers-in-revolt movie since 'Over The Edge'. It's far better than Coppola's 'Outsiders' and 'Rumblefish'."
