Yeah, OK, Soapdish is over the top, but call it a guilty pleasure. It boasts some highly entertaining moments and features a fine ensemble cast - Kevin Kline, Sally Fields, Whoopie Goldberg, Elisabeth Shue, Robert Downey Jr, Carrie Fischer, Gary Marshall and a terrific Kathy Moriarity.
I also still like Broadcast News, written and directed by James L Brooks, about the selling of network news. Great cast with Holly Hunter in a star turn, William Hurt, Joan Cusack, Albert Brooks and many other veteran character actors.
Albert Brooks wrote, directed and starred in Lost In America, a small comedy about American family and values.
While it's not as good as Holy Grail, Monty Python's Life Of Brian is pretty damned funny.
I got a couple others that I'm saving for a future guilty pleasures thread.
