You know the ones - they're on mid afternoon or at three in the morning and you just have to set the video (furtively). Or maybe you own the video!Grin

Off the top of my head it's got to be

Play Misty for Me
Muriels Wedding
Strictly Ballroom
Calamity Jane (although I don't really class that as cheesy as such, but it does elicit a groan from dh)

"Casablanca" and "Cat on a hot tin roof" for me. Neither are what I would class as cheesy but dh refuses to watch them.
