April Fool's Day (1986)

Like And Then There Were None, the Agatha Christie book that inspired it, this wafer-thin cult classic 80s teen slasher opens on a group of people boarding a ferry to spend a weekend on an island, and even before these college kids arrive at their destination, someone starts picking them off one by bloody one and the surprise at the end is that there is a reason for this other than the fact each of the characters is extremely annoying - particularly the penis-obsessed, gnashing, gyrating, sniggering hyena frat boys.

The Room (2003)

Staggering in its artlessness, mystifyingly plotted, and abominably acted, Tommy Wiseau's The Room, often cited as the worst movie ever made, tells an apparently autobiographical story of a love triangle and features go-nowhere subplots, inconsistent character psychology, and actors who clearly are not even having a good time, and so it is no wonder it has gone on to become the cult classic it has, a riotous midnight screening to jeer and holler at.

Blue Velvet (1986)

David Lynch's neo-noir cult classic from 1986 pre-dates Twin Peaks and his increasingly mind-bending films of the 90s and is remarkable for its hideous gas-sucking, dry-humping villain, its uniquely Lynchian imagery, its dreamlike scenes - like the one with the dancer on the car rooftop, and the standing lobotomee ' and for helping salvage Kyle MacLachlan's career after the director's much-maligned Dune.
