Lesbian Vampire Killers. On the surface it's a cheap horror trash flick (a quiet guy / annoying guy duo fighting lesbian vampires) brimming with penis jokes, but it's a superbly made cheap horror flick. The casting, directing and soundtrack are top-notch, the characters are mostly well-developed and credible, the story is actually quite good and the main source of laughs aren't the slapstick moments but the characters' stoic handling of increasingly absurd situations (though of course there's some slapstick as well). Plus you see boobs.
The movie also gracefully avoids taking itself too seriously, which is an absolute must in that genre.

On a side note, if you've already seen it and liked it, you might want to add Tucker & Dale vs Evil to your list. It's a movie about two creepy hillbillies and teenagers dying gruesome deaths in the woods, but the deaths are all accidental. Tucker and Dale really just want to fix their cabin and drink beer and have no idea what's going on with all those dead teenagers suddenly showing up on their property.
