Technically, all anime is cult classics as a small portion of the respected audience is dedicated and cherishes the desired object. So... It's kind of useless to talk of this, but this is the Internet, and we loves the useless talks, don'ts we, precious?

Hmm... I'll simply list anime that only a defined portion of the anime community will enjoy.

Ninja Scroll - Action, boobies, and really cool fights. No plot, all action, and that's what some want.

FLCL - Insanity, which some people simply cannot understand.

Twelve Kingdoms - Amazing series that will completely alienate those who want something simple to watch. This is complex, and it kept me hooked.

Miyazaki Movies - Not an anime, but any movie that Miyazaki produces. he's got his own pack of groupies. I only think that Nausicaa, Spirited Away, and Princess Mononoke are superb while the rest were pretty good.
