4.) Ferris Bueller's Day Off
5.) Monty Python and the Holy Grail
6.) The Terminator

There are a bunch of others that I feel are/were Oscar-worthy (so they may or may not qualify among the original point of the thread topic), such as:

Big Lebowski
Being John Malkovich
The Game
O Brother Where Art Thou
Affliction
Memento

I'll try to think of more. I might need to alter the list above - I am wishy/washy about this topic

 

[JD10367]

Wizard of Oz
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Dreamgirls
A Chorus Line
The Replacements
The Notebook
On Golden Pond
Major League
A Bronx Tale

Ew. This is technically the name of the Johnny Depp remake. I hope you meant to say "Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory", with Gene Wilder, or else I might have to put you on Ignore.

 

[JD10367]

Cult films.

Damn. How could I forget "A Christmas Story"? It's the first avatar I had here (and the one I have at CP). I'll have to make room for that on my list (along with "Willie Wonka", "Office Space", "The Big Lebowski", "A Clockwork Orange", "The Shawshank Redemption", "Pulp Ficton", "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World", and a few others mentioned here). Maybe it's a Top 20 list... 10 isn't enough room.
