Left -- UHF
Up Right -- Pee-Wee's Big Adventure
Down Right -- Elvira, Mistress of the Dark
All great classics IMO.
Although the last two characters had a few movies and it could be one of the others.
Might not fit this exact scenario but I'd say The Burbs fits the overall genre pretty well.
I found a copy of UHF in my condo buildings recycling bin once, had no idea what it was. Boy was I pleasantly surprised.
I once needed a videotape for something, and it was cheaper just to grab a random video from the $1 bin to tape over. I grabbed "Bubba Ho-Tep" because it was a funny name. When I got home with it, one of my roommates went absolutely nuts and demanded that I watch the movie instead of taping over it. And lo, I was enlighted.
I just showed it to my 13-year-old daughter the other day. She loved it even though she's never seen Raiders of the Lost Ark or even ever heard of Rambo (she had to ask me what it was a parody of).
