Under the Himalaiyan mountains

So, I just watched Pulp fiction yesterday and laughed my head off. Afterward I mentioned it to a friend and he called it a "Cult Classic." I know what one is, but are there any other movies that are just so popular that they are quoted sometimes on a daily basis? Or, if you can't think of any, what are some of the funniest movies you've ever seen?

"I.. I know my time has come" Tethesis said with a gasp, a torrent of blood flowing from his lips.
"No! Hang on brother!!" Altharius could feel the warmth slip away from his dear sibling's hands

Tethesis's reached out his bloodied arm to Altharius's face.
"I..I have one final request"
Altharius leaned close to listen, tears welling in his once bright eyes.
"make sure th..they put my soulstone in a tank... it'll be... real fethin' cool"
"Yes, you're gonna be the most fethin' cool tank!!" burning hot tears streaked down Altharius's face, as he held his brother's soul in his grasp.

I'd say "Star Wars" is #1.

I hope you mean John Carpenter's version and not the original. But, I can see how some would consider the original a classic.

As I understood cult classics are films which didn't achieve much success when originally release but grew in popularity, hence the term cult. In which case most films listed above aren't cult classics. btw, transformers? wtf?

Anyway some of my faves...

Memento
La Haine
Body Double
Battle Royale
many things featuring van damme
25th hour
and many others i cant think of.
