Someone who should be more embraced by cultists - Robert Rehme, who was head of production at Avco Embassy for 3 years from 1978 to 1981. He revived Embassy's filmmaking arm - dormant since Joe Levine left - and did so well it was sold to Norman Lear for a healthy sum.
Not all Rehme's works did well but how is this for a cult line up:
1) The Howling (1980)
2) The Fog (1981)
3) Escape from New York (1981)
4) Scanners (1980)
5) Zapped (1982)
6) Winter Kills (1979)
7) An Eye for an Eye (1981)
8) Time Bandits (1980)
9) Prom Night (1980)
10) Phantasm (1979)
For "classier" movies there is...
1) Murder by Decree (1979)
2) Hopscotch (1980)
3) Watership Down (1978)
4) Go Tell the Spartans (1978)
5) The Onion Field (1979)
6) The Black Marble (1980)
7) Old Boyfriends (1979)
8) Carbon Copy (1981)
9) A Man a Woman and a Bank (1979)
10) The Bell Jar (1979)
For extra nutty movies there's
1) The Exterminator (1980)
2) Night Games (1980)
3) Death Ship (1980)
4) Goldengirl (1979)
5) Delusion (1981)
6) Dead and Buried (1981)
7) Vice Squad (1982)
8) Final Exam (1981)
9) Hog Wild (1980)
10) City on Fire (1979)
And I haven't really touched on the comedies.
That is a very versatile, lively line up.
