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.


It also inspired the TV series Roughnecks which also has many faults, but is vastly entertaining. How could they have left the story where they did?

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.


Don't blame me that your husband has better taste than you do :P

See? I just don't get how this works.

The only pleasures I'm guilty about are the sexual ones that involve the humiliation and degredation of women.

No, wait, HOLD, HOLD, that isn't guilt, just an incorrectly assembled ham sammich leaving an empty feeling in my tumtum.

What if she likes it? Should you feel guilty then? What if I make a movie of it (to keep on-topic)?

So if we made a movie about the guilt of sexual humiliation, would that make that movie by default a guilty pleasure movie? Or would it just create the possibilty of having a guilty pleasure about a guilty pleasure. Or would it be a guilty pleasure of a guilty pleasure.

Once again my tiny brain has successfully confused itself into a little box that it has not the intellect to escape from.

Bad Taste by Peter Jackson.

One of the only films where someone calls someone a wanker properly... Oh and the house is a spacecraft... It don't get any more low budget than making a detached house a spacecraft

That movie is pure fucking awesome. Nothing wrong with that one. Especially those pig aliens and all the gore. Have you ever seen his first movie, "Dead Alive" here in America, but I believe every where else it's called "Brain Dead"? Even better.

I agree here.

The level of teasing I must endure whenever I put it on qualifies it for the list.

This is an old topic, but I recently stumbled upon 'October Sky' mid-way through, and I watched it. I think it qualifies as maybe one of my guilty pleasure movies.
