A popular piece of work, generally a movie, which has gained a large following. This following has most likely been around for at least a few years, except for cases of an 'instant cult classic,' in which a movie gains instant fame which remains for decades to come.
Reefer Madness is the best cult classic, hands down.

A movie term for a franchise that becomes insanely popular among a relatively small group of people.
Had its showrunners not introduced the concept of Regeneration, Doctor Who would have died out in the '60s as a mere cult classic.
A movie that is weird as fuck.

In terms of other media like websites, Tvtropes .org and Urbandictionary.com.
If you go to the tvtropes.org, a cult classic website, you will get addicted
Telling people tvtropes.org, the both famous and infimous cult classic, is an addictive wiki is trollish and misleading, because it gives the idea of 'for a wiki', and also, that it is far less addictive than it really is; tvtropes.org is one of the most addictive websites, in fact, it is addictive in general, so don't be troll when telling people about tvtropes.org, as friends don't give friends crippling addiction's not to mention anyone who gives a stranger a crippling addiction is just a jerk.
