20, but I won't bother naming them all. I don't think all of these are "cult" movies--I wouldn't include Willy Wonka, Scarface, Blade Runner, Shawshank, Clerks or Friday on this list. These are all pretty popular films, and I'd make arguments for others that are missing as well. Off the top of my head, I'd immeadiately say where's Howard the Duck?

Too lazy to list them all but I've seen 33 out of 50. Not bad.
I only own 6 of them on DVD though. I'm waiting for the release of Freaks and Faster Pussycat! Kill Kill! and the special editions of Blade Runner and Dawn of the Dead.
Um, Shawshank Redemption is a cult film? Ok, it didn't find its audience until video but in my mind that does not make it a cult film. It really sticks out like a sore thumb on that list.

I've seen 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 10 (WTF?), 13, 17, 25, 28, 36, 42, 49, and 51
Own Rushmore (CC, of course), Shawshank, Office Space, and one of my favorites, Willy Wonka. Dazed and Confused is good too, but most of the others I've seen I do not care for.
