Guilty pleasure movies

[Genghis Khant]

Ip man .

Nothing guilty about that pleasure (unless you're Japanese). It's a cracking kung fu flick.

I'm watching Popeye with my kids and I don't mind it at all.

ok fine.. any movie pertaining to horses... well most any movie
Moondance Alexander.......
the list goes on and on..

Col. Martin Hessler: Release the boy... Shoot the father!

Battle of the Bulge (1965). The most inaccurate account of that battle ever made of a war film. But for some reason I keep watching it whenever it comes on. With an all star cast of Henry Fonda, Charles Bronson, Robert Shaw and Telly Savalas this movie is entertaining just because of some of the lines and scenes shot. Whether it's watching the turret of Telly Savalas tank get blown clean off and him and his partner surviving and continuing to fight with a 30 caliber machine gun in hand or Robert Shaw being the ultimate Teutonic German officer it is an entertaining movie.

Finally figuring out my 3.

1. The Fifth Element - a vastly underrated movie. I love it, just watched it again (at work no less)
2. V - The Original Miniseries. So corny but so awesome.
3. Transpotting. I haven't watched it in forever but it really stuck with me.

I haven't seen V, but your other two choices are excellent movies. No guilt necessary.

props on 1, ditto Timmy on 3. V is more of a cult classic than a guilty pleasure, but i'll let it slide simply for the cringe-worthy acting

Space Jam - I cant listen to Steve Miller Band without thinking of MJ walking out in UNC Blue...

Rush Hour - Constantly one of these are on TBS, and something about Chris Tucker's voice paralyzes me from changing the channel... "Y'all"...

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective - I can probably quote the entire movie straight through, ive seen it more times than I can count...

These were both hilarious movies, I would never feel guilty watching them

I like Space Jam too. But I have met quite a few people who really detest it though.

[jbrettlip]

1. Josie and the Pussy Cats-Tara Reid before she was a crack head
2. Midnight Madness-really bad 80's flick (used to own on VHS haven't seen in years now)
3. Anything Little House on the Prairie. (not a movie, but my wife still wonders why I have any interest in it)
4. Starman
5. Forrest Gump (maybe not a guity pleasure, but my wife cringes when she sees it on the guide, because if I flip to it, we are watching it.)
6. First Blood-see #5

[Aradhus]

I can't think of any off the top of my head, so I'll just select two I liked that other people mentioned.

2. The Land Before Time

'Nuff said.

Oh wait, I totally forgot my real guilty pleasure movie.

I have seen every LHotP episode. They friggin rule. Favorite quote from that series, the one with the brass bell and the deaf guy "Income tax in this country? Not a chance"

The Scorpion King...and it's always on FX for some reason...

[Aradhus]

I think I read that book when I was preteen, or thereabouts. I did see the film not too long ago, it definitely wasn't a pleasure.

Is the premise of a guilty pleasure movie that it is generally considerd to be a shit movie, but you like it anyway, or you think its a shit movie, but you still like it?

I adore the movie Watership Down, I think it rocks, so that would only be a guilty pleasure if its generally considered a piece of crap.

I really like the Back to the future trilogy, that would only fit under the general theory too. I'd be surprised if they're considered turds though, they were pretty popular.

Starship Troopers.

I know how much Heinlein would hate it, I know why, I agree at an intellectual level, I mutter to myself about how much is wrong with the movie every time I watch it. But I keep watching it...

Wow, i can't believe I forgot this movie. It gets so much shit because I've heard it is SO far from the book, but it's a very entertaining campy movie.

shut up.. it's like the worst movie ever

except for that one 80'ish movie my husband watches.. with the human who is friends with the alien child on another planet.. and they grow up together. I hate that one a bunch also.
