Guilty Pleasure Movies

[Zkribbler]

And we need more beach-blanket movies ....

Swimsuit-clad teens, dancing and singing to innane plots

i feel so left out. i haven't heard of like 70% of the mentioned movies.

Consider yourself lucky. Most of these are really bad movies. --- Not Robin Hood, Men in Tights of course.

All those 50's sci-fi movies. And everything with Goldie Hawn in it.

I remain amazed at the cast assembled for this movie. The much-reviled Tim Allen is perfectly cast as the blithely self-absorbed lead. Sigourney Weaver mocks her own sci-fi past with knowing conviction, and of course looks amazing. Alan Rickman is awesome as the jaded, disillusioned thespian ("You never cared enough about craft!"). Plus Daryl "Chill" Mitchell, Justin "I'm a Mac" Long and the always-awesome Tony Shalhoub.

Spellcheck: "irresistible"

I recall liking it as a child, but can't remember anything other than the throwing blade doodad at the moment.

I recall Lysette Anthony's cleavage, but little else.



Galaxy Quest straddles that fine line between guilty pleasure and just plain awesome.

That guy reminds me of Armed and Dangerous, another movie I'm ashamed to like every time it's on cable. John Candy and Eugene Levy, how can you go wrong?
...
And of course that scene with the psycho rocket-fuel trucker just made the ending:

Ahhhh. They cut the part:

John Candy: "What are you hauling, here?"
Driver: "Rocket fuel!"
John Candy: "perfect"

I'm with Pekka for "Bring it On" all 3 of them, or 4
it has the cheerleader chick!


My guilty pleasures are Mallrats and Friday, but I'm not afraid to admit it

Others, that are classically bad;

The Aventures of Baron Von Munchausen
Remo Williams
Army of Darkness

Speaking of guilty, guilty pleasures, I can't seem to turn off Roadhouse whenever it's on cable. Somehow I also can't help but fondle myself in the process.

The couples porn film I mentioned earlier in this thread may be better in that regard.

You should have seen the stage musical version.

A League of Their Own. I think that one qualifies. Major League, but I dunno if that's something to be guilty about. I like baseball, ya know? Hell, I even got through For Love of the Game, though I wouldn't go so far as to say I liked it.

Those that have been mentioned:

Fifth Element
Clue
Breakfast Club, et al.
Galaxy Quest

Starship Troopers... went right over my head when I saw it. I though it was blow **** up in space. Popcorn. Not political satire. So I was unprepared and my reaction was WTF? That sucked. Looking back at it... I get it, but I still think it kinda sucks as a movie.

edit: Sliding Doors The sidekick brother from The Mummy + Gwenneth Paltrow.

Curse you for getting my hopes up!

Does Tron count? Or, this being a pretty geeky site, does it qualify as a classic?
