Some of my guilty pleasures in movies:

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
The Chronicles of Riddick (just for the special effects)
Old School
Joyride
Notting Hill (yup, I'm a guy and I love that movie... funny as hell and just a good script... charming and it flows well)

just some to start you off thinking

Old School is too damn funny... "ear muffs"

This is a great topic... spill your guts on potentially embarassing entertainment eh? 

• Titanic -- Saw it twice in the theater (not intentionally, but loved it both times).
• Love Actually -- My fave "chick flick".
• The Matrix Reloaded -- The action was great and I didn't think the dialogue was that bad.
• Star Wars Episode 1  -- All you have to do is ditch Jar Jar and that whole funky alien race, replace that pathetic kid actor, keep Darth Maul for the future and tone down the Amos and Andy routines and you'd have a damn good flick. 
• Final Destination -- The movie was pretty crappy, but there's one scene in the beginning that totally freaked me out.
• Event Horizon -- The last really scary movie I saw in the theater. Good actors in it too. Sam Neil is such a huge freak.
• King of Queens -- Standard crap sitcom TV in syndication can be funny.
• 21 Jumpstreet -- Watched the whole first season again last month on DVD and loved every corny second of it.
• New TMNT episodes -- They follow the comic book really closely and the animation is much better.

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

the whole point of this thread was about guilty pleasures... being movies that you are pretty much ashamed to admit you like. 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
- Iron Monkey (the dubbed version)
-Kate & Leopold
-Dark City
- Scooby Doo

Sedge:

Titanic - Only good thing about that movie were the people dying
Love Actually - I like it too
The Matrix Reloaded - CGI was good
Star Wars Episode 1  - Absolute crap... you're a loser for liking it
Final Destination - The only thing I didn't like abou that movie was they made a sequel
Event Horizon - Crap. Even worse than liking Star Wars Eps. 1

Pixelbink's really getting into the spirit of it... taunting the picks of other people wthout regard.

• Scooby Doo is just a disgrace... one of the worst movies ever made.
• Dark City was Roger Ebert's number one movie the year it came out. 
• Iron Monkey is one of the best Kung-Fu flicks eva eva eva.
• S.W.A.T. got out of control. The opening training scenes were really sweet, but it just went completely crazy in the middle.
• How could Gladiator ever be considered a guilty pleasure?  It won tons of awards, was hugely popular and had tons of brilliant action.

I already told you of my distate for anything with Drew Barrymore as well as my disappointment of Seed of Chucky.

Crispin was great in Willard though... another guilty pleasure I guess. Bound to go down as a great cult movie

Charlie's Angels 1 was OK (Bill Murray and the fun campiness), but Charlie's Angels 2?!  I don't know if I can ever fully trust you So-lou.

Super Troopers had some pretty funny scenes. The 3rd Harry Potter was pretty good.  They really pick some great actors to go along with the kids.

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.

So you're the reason why they keep making those.

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?

aww...lol

Did you actually know who the characters were before watching the movie?

Super Mario Brothers?  Really?

X-Files movie was confusing to me because I didn't watch the show. It seems like it could've been good.

Tremors is an awesome flick. Scared the heck out of me when I was 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.

Quentin Tarantino***

he's the bomb diggity he is.

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!!"

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.

your life was like lindsay lohan?

i allways thought you were okay.. untill now.. :P

Huh? o_0 N.....o.....it was like Cady's, Lohan's CHARACTER. Actually I'm probably more of a Regina.... : | Except in a lot of ways - not. Ugh you've confused me snader. ><

Speaking of Love Actually... I'm a closet Hugh Grant fan.  That guy cracks me up in every flick.

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.

I LOVE Alien vs. Predator.  (ps - bought an Alien bobble-head today )

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.

Ain't a fan of DM as such.  I just find it watchable due to the rest of the cast. As for Rocky...well... I ain't american and I ain't into sports.

because he doesnt even block punches? the only good part is the training part ¬_¬

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.

Oh yeah, definitely Sedge.

The Things is the BEST movie ever - I watched that for the first time eating lasagna - not cool.  But it was so funny, I immediately bought it on dvd (my dad had the tape) - and I love the oldschool filming ways of puppets and strings to pull things and loooots of blood and gore - these days it's all CGI crap and little blue-white kids jumping out of places to spook people rather than make them vomit from seeing guts torn out. Shaun of the Dead and SAW are the best horrors out there that can even hold a candle to some of the classics. They don't make them like they used to that's for sure.

OH and I HATE it in horror movies when it shows someone say, about to peel the scalp off of someone with a knife, it shows them put the knife to their head and then the camera...MOVES AWAY...and you just hear screaming to imply it. That only works with Hitchcock - bring us the gore already. Geez.

Definitely! SOTD is so great because it successfully mingles comedy with horror but still manages to hold it's own as a great horror - that's what I see the Child's Play movies as, but everyone is like 'nuuuh those movies are geeeeaaay' - but really, Seed of Chucky is the funniest freakin horror movie around.

(all imo of course )

The whole Chucky thing was hard to get into for me. He's so small... can't you just pick him up and boot his ass?

Nuh-uh Evil Dead 2 is THE best comedy-horror EVER. Period. Full-stop.

Sedge: You could, but then you'd have no movies.  I find this mantra helps me alot: 'suspend logic, it's only a movie, suspend logic, it's only a movie'

Well pixelblink, let's agree to disagree.

(but I'm right)

An American Werewolf in London - that is the coolest movie! I love the whole conversation between David and Jack and David's victims.  And I was scared to go down the escalators at the subway when I went to London. I was obsessed with Drop Dead Fred when I was younger and heard he had a small bit in that film, that's why I checked it out. So thankyou Rik! Hehe.... 'A naked American man stole my balloons.' Classic. I might watch it later on.

Heh, suspension of disbelief is usually pretty easy for me... I had to hold back tears when Simba goes up to the dead Mufasa.  

Horror/comedy is a lively topic because the majority of all horror movies are unintentionally hilarious.  How about American Movie -- best horror/comedy/documentary evaaaaaaaaaa.

Great, here come the waterworks. 

I think it's time to revive this topic.

The subject was... list the movies that you're ashamed to admit you love to watch. Not movies that are popular and everyone loves them... ones that are so god awful or just plain cheesy that people will think weird of you.

I don't I mentioned this one before but http://imdb.com/title/tt0085811/ - Krull (not Kull the Conquerer). It was a cheesy sci-fi/fantasy flick from the early-80s. Liam Neeson makes a cameo in this.

Also, I've had my signature posted for quite some time now but nobody has pointed out what "sa-da-tay" is all about. Soooooooo.... bonus points go out to the first person that can name the movie to which it is referring to.

pootie tang?

ding ding ding! What do we have for him Johnny?

That was correct. Good job Snader

i am that kind of person who has like 80% of my 300+ dvd collection being considered crap by most people.

but my only realy guily pleasures that i can think of is matrix3(the best of the matrix movies).

... and deep impact(i cried like a baby during this movie)

edit: i just remembered that i also realy like "boggy creak 2" wich alot of people say is one of the worst movies ever created.

I dont know what i just saw, but it was great

maybe i't's because its 2AM, maybe because the sheer absurdity is completely awesome.. whatever

what i do know, is that this asian film ''zebraman'' is totally cool

hey, i might be te hennepe, but i dont do drugs! heck, i dont even smoke

..and i didnt touch the bottle that night either =D

pfft no.

I watched all three matrix dvds this weekend and the last one was the worst!.. well, it it did provide for a great laugh towards the end.. like when all the smiths exploded.  hahahahahaha wtf happened there eh?  "I'm standing right here..and I'm ..and I'm s'posta say somethin.."  hahahaha  good times.

I liked the first one the most..yah that's not really a guilty pleasure

russian ninja/russian terminator. it a sequal to the famous swedish ninja movie ninja mission.
