Guilty pleasure movies

For me, it's "A League of Their Own". A guilty pleasure because...I mean, c'mon, it's about girls! But I do love baseball, and it's a very funny movie.

I remember when some basic cable channel (AMC if I had to guess) played it a few years ago for like 5 months straight. At first it was fun, but then it just got annoying.

For me, cheesy action movies are winners. The Blade trilogy specifically. The two Mortal Kombats as well, though I really hope they make a new one.

If I see a cheesy action movie, I might take a stop on it as well. I can't remember the last one I watched...I think it had Ahhhhhhhhnold in it.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. It's dumbfounding how terrible that movie is and how much talent they got to participate.

I saw Beerfest listed...lmao....great flick ;o)

For our family, it would be the entire genre of B movies with gnarly pseudo-real life monsters....like Mega Python vs Gatoroid, Frogs (Today the Pond, Tomorrow the World!), Octopus 2 River of Fear, Mega Piranha, etc....excellent, mindless, funny entertainment :lol:

If those are guilty pleasures, the majority of what I watch are guilty pleasures. :lol:

1. The League of Gentlemen (1960)
A great heist movie with the incomparable Jack Hawkins.
Favourite quote from the movie:
[after Hyde (Jack Hawkins) has explained his plan]
Major Race: Alright, I'm sold. I'll sign on, for the duration.
Lt. Col. Hyde: On my terms? Equal shares for all?
Major Race: Well, if you insist on this socialistic nonsense, yes. You're losing a friend, but gaining a second-in-command.
Lt. Col. Hyde: I'll settle for that.

2. The longest day (1962)
Just the best ever.
Favourite quote from the movie
Richard Burton: He's dead. I'm crippled. You're lost. Do you suppose it's always like that? I mean war.
(I have, fortunately, a dvd of the monochrome production, I saw the colour copy and found it awful) At least once a year I settle in with a bottle of something and sit through the film.

3. Emmanuelle (1974)
Serious wet dream material for young teenagers of the time of which I was one. Would now be considered quite tame.
Favourite quote....no idea...to be honest I wasn't listening to the dialogue that much!

Final Destination series.

the first one was legitimately good but then they milked the concept for every last penny and they got really bad. For some reason I can't not watch them though. I think it's because the lead girls are always really hot

My god, it's lit like a soap opera...

I'm amazed no one has mentioned The Room.

Sexmission 1984 (Polish)

So bad, it's good.

Okay, I'll admit it: Enemy Mine
(very awkward film)

I used to guiltily enjoy films like Howl's Flying Castle, Spirited Away, etc., but lately, I've been

'ing hard.

I just remembered another guilty pleasure movie I enjoy. I don't think I've ever watched it on purpose, but when I use to have cable, if it ever came on, I ended up watching it...

Cool Runnings

I see pride! I see power! I see a bad-ass mother, who don't take no crap off nobody!

Do you want to kiss my lucky egg?

Greeting, sled god.

In fact, if one of those Swiss boys ever come across a pretty girl, he probably yell, "eins, zwei, drei" and try to push her down some ice.

@ BBs Enemy Mine is a great movie! If by awkward you mean the male alien having a baby/acting feminine? If so, I agree.
@ aog, I loved the mortal combat movies, good stuff. Especially good if you liked the games.

For me it's anything starring Arnold, he gets me warm + fuzzy every time. Predator, Total Recall and Conan are probably my go-to Arnold fix movies though.

some think it's too predictable and cliché, but I like 'independence day'
aliens + fighting + Will Smith humour= AWESOMENESS
