Everyone has their favourites which conventional (or 'cult') society thinks must be deemed a guilty pleasure, but there should be no guilt in terms of what we like (and that goes for all walks of life) as it just breeds repression.
Plus, I think our very own Stephen may have found a kindred spirit in yourself due to your love of
Grease 2!

Totally emphasise with this one - I'm the same in reference to
The Monster Squad though... which I notice has been posted about above. I watched it as an 'adult' and didn't rate it much at all (I actually recently revisited it as part of my Halloween viewing this year and just can't buy into it as much as the people who grew up with it must do). Some films are just a product of their time or targeted towards a set age group which sometimes if watched outside of the this age/time just doesn't translate for a lot of folk.
