While I spent a LOT of my misspent youth enjoying The Rocky Horror Picture Show, here's a partial list:
Marie Antoinette
The Women
Cool Runnings
Blazing Saddles
The Full Monty
Remember The Titans
and of course
Slap Shot.

This one is on your friends, not you. If you were sitting still at RHPS, you were at a lame showing with lame people.
One time they were going to show RHPS in our student center and a bunch of people showed up with props (toast, squirtguns, etc). The film "mysteriously" went off its reels or something and they couldn't show it. I don't think they expected people coming in who knew what they were doing.

Also, I don't think many of these are "guilty pleasures." A guilty pleasure is something critically panned and a lot of these are critically acclaimed, to say the least.

Well, okay, on 33Girl's criteria, we need "Insurance Salesmen from Saturn" and "It Came From Marlowe Heights".

"Overboard" with Goldie Hawn & Kurt Russell.
I am compelled to stop & watch that movie -- no matter if it's 10 minutes into the film or 10 minutes from the end.

I don't care how many Razzie's it won or how campy it is.
Mommie Dearest will forever and always be one of my favorite movies!!!
Faye Dunaway did an amazing job, but always gets crap for that film!

YES! DH refers to it as "Rock and Roll Marie Antoinette" and lets me enjoy it by myself.

Brother, I had the chance to meet Paul Bartel ("Eating Raoul") at an Atlanta Film Festival screening of his rarely seen "Shelf Life". He was a really cool guy. What to you think of Lynch's later work, such as Mulholland Drive, Twin Peaks, etc.?
I loved DUNE in both the theatrical version and the DVD "director" cut.

Keep an eye on Turner Classic Movies. They are showing 45 of his films on Thursdays and Fridays this month. Good stuff.

I've always loved the movie Hocus Pocus even though it's nobody's idea of great cinema.
And I also loved Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette. Such gorgeous sets and costumes. Almost makes me with that pannier skirts were still in style!

I've got a list longer than my arm but off the top of my head:
Trilogy of Terror--Effen tiki doll! I l-a-u-g-h myself silly every time I see it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLFqtrm2R1s
Sleepaway Camp -- The original campy camp killer slasher. Angela was a beeyotch. Only the original, the rest kicked rocks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pjjuFT6QF4
Pan's Labyrinth -- Just freakin awesome, amazing, sad, beautiful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqYiSlkvRuw
(with English subtitles)

LOL I'll second this.
My husband used to be a Rocky Horror Picture Show freak. There was a theater around Chicago where if you saw it there 69 times you got in for free in the future. He dressed like one of the characters, knew all the lines, and also the standardized come-back lines. I guess it was a whole subculture. Thank God that this was way before I knew him.
I have three favorite movies: Gone With the Wind, The Fabulous Baker Boys, and The Big Easy. Let me watch any of these again and I'm a real happy camper.
