I posted my personal favourites from my country, and you can post your personal favourites from your country. There is no exact science in terms of what you deem your countries top ten cult films nor is there a definitive list that must be observed. Everyone had there own personal preference.
In terms of Stanley Kubrick's 'A Clockwork Orange' it is widely regarded as a Cult Classic

Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange is a cult classic. The director's withdrawal of the film in the UK soon after its release denied it a place in the mainstream.
But it lived on in the form of battered VHS tapes passed reverentially between teenagers, becoming a small screen rite of passage in the near three decades until it was finally rereleased.
