It is a crime just how underappreciated this movie is. After seeing it, it's one of my top 10 comedies. It's one of those movies that if I just think about it, I'll start laughing to myself.
I never saw this movie until a few years ago. My wife was a fan of it growing up, and it was playing at a local indie theater near our house. Unbeknownst to me, there is a Dallas LGBTQ movie club who does a screening of something once a month, and they were showing Drop Dead Gorgeous. The crowd was probably 3/4 gay guys, many of whom dressed up in pageant gowns. Trust me when I tell you, this is the ONLY way to see the movie. It wasn't quite a Rocky Horror style audience participation, but it was pretty close. I was laughing so hard I was crying just at the movie, and the whole crowd being people who were just there to have a good time and see a movie they loved with their friends made it even better.

A seminal film for young gays learning their taste and sensibility. I was obsessed and still am!
