I know it isn't a cult classic like all the other movies listed here (all of which I love), but Eurotrip is a guilty pleasure of mine. The "Scotty Doesn't Know" scene is epic.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

[searches a Mr. Rental shelf full of Mel Brooks films and reading each title] The Producers, Twelve Chairs, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein... Dark Helmet: Colonel Sandurz, may I speak with you, please? Colonel Sandurz: Yes, sir! Dark Helmet: [lifts helmet and whispers to Colonel Sandurz and himself quietly] How can there be a cassette of Spaceballs: the Movie? We're still in the middle of making it! Colonel Sandurz: Well, that's true, sir, but there's been a new breakthrough in home video marketing. Dark Helmet: There has? Colonel Sandurz: Yes! Instant cassettes. They're out in stores before the movie is finished! Dark Helmet: [doubtfully] Nah! Corporal: Here it is, sir! [takes out cassette and holds it] Spaceballs! Colonel Sandurz: Good work, Corporal, punch it up! [Corporal puts in tape and it shows an F.B.I. Anti-Piracy warning] That's much too early. Prepare to fast-forward! Corporal: Preparing to fast-forward. Colonel Sandurz: Fast-forward! Corporal: Fast-forwarding, sir!
[Corporal fast-forwards to the part where Dark Helmet has ignored Sandurz' warning to sit down and buckle up that leads to him denting his helmet severely] Dark Helmet: [about the part where he dented his helmet severely] No-no-no, go past this, past this part. In fact, never play this again. [sips coffee in embarrassment] Colonel Sandurz: Try here. Stop.
[Corporal stops the tape, then Dark Helmet and Sandurz come across an image of themselves viewing the screen. As they react, the screen mimics what they are doing] Dark Helmet: What the Hell am I looking at?! When does this happen in the movie?! Colonel Sandurz: "Now." You're looking at "now," sir. Everything that happens now [indicates himself and Helmet] is happening "now." [Indicates the screen] Dark Helmet: What happened to "then"? Colonel Sandurz: We passed "then." Dark Helmet: When? Colonel Sandurz: Just now. We're at "now," now. Dark Helmet: Go back to "then"! Colonel Sandurz: When? Dark Helmet: Now! Colonel Sandurz: Now? Dark Helmet: Now! Colonel Sandurz: I can't. Dark Helmet: Why?! Colonel Sandurz: We missed it. Dark Helmet: When?! Colonel Sandurz: Just now. Dark Helmet: ... When will "then" be "now"? Colonel Sandurz:Soon! Dark Helmet: [backpedals in shock] How soon?
[Corporal rewinds the tape back to a scene showing protagonists wandering in desert] Corporal: Sir! Dark Helmet: What?! Corporal: We have identified their location. Dark Helmet: Where?! Corporal: It's the moon of Vega! Colonel Sandurz: Good work, set a course and prepare for our arrival! Dark Helmet: [increasingly panicked] When?! Corporal: 1900 hours, sir! Colonel Sandurz: By high noon tomorrow, they will be our prisoners! Dark Helmet: WHO?!! [mask falls down]
Then again, I can't think of a Mel Brooks film I don't love, from The Producers on. Maybe this summer I'll take a week off work and binge watch every Mel Brooks movie ever made.
Has anyone seen The Voices with Ryan Reynolds? It's relatively new, 2014 or so. It's absolutely terrible but in the best way. You can't stop watching the dumpster fire of a movie.
Oh dear. I seem to have forgotten to include "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension" - perhaps a zenith of 80s cheese. Peter Weller! John Lithgow! Jeff Goldblum! Christopher Lloyd as John Bigboote ("it's pronounced 'big boo-tay'").
