Is there anyone out there who hasn’t watched The Shawshank Redemption, Donnie Darko or The Rocky Horror Picture Show? The following movies are our picks for the top ten new cult movies that are actually worth watching.

8. Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang
(2005)

Lethal Weapon writer Shane Black made his directorial debut with Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang and created an instant cult classic. A comedic film noir starring Robert Downy Jr. as a petty crook turned actor turned wannabe private eye, Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang marries a classic detective story plot with whip-smart dialogue, perfect casting and hilarious comic timing. As great as RDJ is as main character Harry, he nearly has the show stolen out from under him by Val Kilmer as Gay Perry, the grumpy, sarcastic homosexual detective.
