Well Mean Girls is funny because it shows how girls really are in school.
S.W.A.T. was an awesome action movie Gladiator has to be one of my favorites. Full of action. Its great. XXX state of the union was Awesome but with some really lame lines. (never should've put Ice Cube in a movie.) |

Mean Girls - I never liked Lindsay Lohan til she got her boob job S.W.A.T. - just pure sucked Gladiator - Gladiator?? That one of your guilty pleasures?? That movie is one of the best Epic/Greek Tragedy/Action movies of all time... nobody should ever feel guilty for liking that movie XXX - umm.. Ice Cube needs to melt away |

If you loved Gladiator and SWAT and aren't ashamed to admit it.. that's cool and all but, not really having to do with the theme in this thread. More movies I'm ashamed to say I like: - Love actually |

I just saw one last night that I never thought I would like... In Good Company. Dennis Quaid and the young executive (can't remember his name, he's the dude from That 70's Show) are really good and that Scarlett Johanson is always a treat. |

Oh man.. I like to think I have good taste in movies.. but I do like a few pieces of crap.
The X-Files Movie - I'm a hardcore fan of the series, and I know it's not the best movie in the world.. but man.. It's got a place in my heart.. Patch Adams - I am so ashamed for liking this movie. But I do. I can't explain it. I just. Moving on.. Tremors - Okay, I know it was horrible.. but I remember being scared out of my MIND when I was younger. (To the point where I wouldn't put my feet on the ground) Soo I still love it. :) Super Mario Brothers : The Movie - Everytime I tell someone I love this movie, I can see their respect for me drop. Tremendously. Howard the Duck - Duck sex. Candy Man: Farewell to the Flesh - ...and every other cheesy horror movie ever made. I'm a BIG fan of cheesy, crappy, unbelievable predictable horror movies. :) So basically, those are the movies that I only watch when I'm alone. XP |

x-files : was okay.. not great, just okay patch adams : they meant well and it was almost the feel-good movie of the year but they decided to cast Robin Williams as Patch tremors : still enjoy it super mario : never saw it... probably never will howard the duck : love it.. my guilty pleasure too. BTW, was one of the first films I've seen Tim Robbins in Candyman : was this the second one? didn't the first suck enough? |

Well the Candyman thing, it was just a random one I pulled out of my
cheesy horror movie collection.. and much to my dismay I enjoyed
it! :D
Oh man, it's so horrible. I don't know how I can sit through it. But man, how could anyone like The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen?! Heh, I hated that SOOO much. |

The new show is great. Actual proper plots and characters and much truer to the old black and white comics I had as a kid.

Guilty pleasures, eh? Sin City. delightfully campy and excessive in everything it does. It even has Japanese Fan-boy co-director Quentin Tarantino! I love you Sin City! And I love you Merv. You and your mitts. TMNT is also a big one for me. Edited by Rynov |

Being a Tarantino fan is nothing to be ashamed of... he gets good reviews and box office in general. What's a REAL guilty pleasure so-lou? I bet it's something deviant. |

Nah, I was just correcting his spelling of the great QT. :D
I enjoyed Harold and Kumar go to Whitecastle......and I'm not even a stoner. It's just so damned funny in places you don't expect it to be. But very lame. "You sunk my battle-sh*t!!" |

Harold and Kumar is at the top of my queue in Netflix coincidentally. Sometimes goofy stoner comedy is good stuff.

I wouldn't say that's a guilty pleasure - it's actually quite a good film. Lohan acted well in it (and that's coming from someone who LOOOAAATHES her) and the story wasn't full of cliches - in fact it was like how it was at my school. :| So yeah, be proud to say you like this one. I do as well.

I think Love Actually was absolutely brilliant. The plot was all over
the place, but it just gave these little vignettes of peoples' lives.
Unfortunately, I saw it on an airplane, and they'd cut out the whole
porn star plot...I still haven't seen that all the way through...
I think my Guilty Pleasures are more...TV shows. I watch the same episodes of Whose Line? over and over. I watch Ed, Edd, and Eddie, the Powerpuff girls, Totally Spies, ocassional Winx Club [why? I really don't know] and Mad TV. I generally claim that I'm just too lazy to turn the channel...;) |

Hmm.. well I don't really have any movies I feel guilty about liking..
buuut Shrek 2 almost made my eyes water which says a lot because.. well.. movies don't make me cry.. well, movies like THAT. I mean, romance movies. I'm usually like ".. blarg.. stop kissing NOW". But in that one when Fiona said Shrek was fine as an Ogre.. it was.. so.. touching. XD XD |

Tremors (1+2), They Live, The Blob, The Stuff, Alien 3 (everyone seems to hate this one?), Groudhog Day, Child's Play series (though I hardly see them nowdays because it's never on anymore :/), Hellraiser, Cube and Cube Zero, Cabin Boy, Demolition Man... can't really think of more
Hmm yeah, and there are loads of silly 80's movies I used to watch as a kid on the "Sessão da Tarde" ("Afternoon Session"), the name of the movie session Rede Globo (the biggest network here) has on weekdays. Great days... Oh, and a few years ago they had a "Cine Trash" session in another network, just before Sessão da Tarde, where they aired crappy horror movies. I absolutely LOVED anything they aired there, it was sooo awesome ![]() (I never did homework because of it) Edited by 1ucas |

1ucas: Alien 3 had some cool moments and the overall idea wasn't that bad, but some of the plot points seemed kinda lame to me. Groundhog Day is Bill Murray bringing his A game. Great movie. Heh, They Live was a neat idea but John Carpenter can be totally cheesy... "I came here to chew bubblegum and kickass and I'm all out of bubblegum." Demolition Man is indeed a movie that is embarassing to like. |

And it's still hard to forgive them killing the rest of the 'Aliens' survivors with ease like that. Groundhog Day (Murray is a comedic genius) and They Live are great and Demolition Man's bout the only Stallone movie I ever found myself actually enjoying. Mainly due to Sandra Bullock, Wesley Snipes and Denis Leary more than Stallone himself. |

Actually, that line was adlibbed by Piper ![]() Btw, the original tale the movie's based on, Eight o' Clock in the Morning is pretty cool too. About Alien 3, I think what hooks me on it is the ambience of the setting (I have a thing for foundries?) and the Alien design. The dog-like smooth-head alien is the best incarnation of the xenomorph, IMO. |

Me, I like Alien Resurrection more - in fact it's probably my favourite one. Most likely because of my EXTREME affection for Gediman. "Beeeautiful baaaby." XD And that whole underwater sequence was just - so tense and perfectly shot imo.

Wolverine: Another Demoliton Man fan? How can you not like Stallone in Rocky? It's the great american sports movie. 1ucas: Piper came up with that eh? Well, I still stick by assertion that Carpenter can be a cheeseball. Don't get me wrong... I loved the original Assualt on Precinct 13, Halloween, Big Trouble in Little China and In the Mouth of Madness... I just can't think of a single movie of his where I didn't roll my eyes at least once. So-lou: The underwater scene and the "alien torture scene" were both pretty cool in Resurrection, but the first two Aliens are untouchable. |

Wolverine: Heh, you don't have to be a Yankee or sportsfan to enjoy Rocky -- it's just that America makes a sh*tload of sports movies and 90% of them are just awful. I'm not a fan of any sport except for basketball, but I still enjoy a good boxing story. I totally forgot about The Thing... one of the best horror flicks ever hands down. That movie is the one (and only) exception to the Carpenter cheeseball factor in my experience. snader: Agreed. |
