Guilty Pleasure Movie

"Cheyenne Social Club" Jimmy Stewart is a cowboy who inherits a whorehouse; Henry Fonda is his buddy. Shirley Jones was the madam, Sue Ann Langdon was one of the prostitutes. :) Great comedy.

"Independance Day"

Any Beach Party movie with Annette Funicello or Deborah Whalley. Those things are great.

Hammer Horror movies
 

So many of mine have already been said...

Cube
Independence Day
Mars Attacks
A Knight's Tale
The Shadow
The Phantom
The Rocketeer(Though does this one count? Most people I know love it)
Tron
Mortal Kombat(the first one...I hate it, yet everytime its on I sit there and watch it)
 


My all-time favorite guilty pleasure movie is The Arrival, starring Charlie Sheen as a radio astronmer/action hero. I've seen it at least a dozen times, probably closer to twenty. What's not to like? ;)
 


I'll have to throw my vote in for ID4 too. Will Smith kicked much ass in that movie.

TMNT is also an honorable mention. I just love those little green dudes and their little rat sensei. It mixes a good bit of action, humor, and drama in a nice little package.

I also have to throw in a vote for Phantom Menace. Yes, that kid's tone of voice got on my nerves a bit. Yes, his part in the ending space battle could have been a lot better, a lot more dramatic, and a lot more of a nailbiter, the way the ending battle in the first Star Wars was. And yes, I wish that kid's story tied in more with the backstory of the first movie -- Obi-Wan did make a great deal of Luke's father's ideals and the fact that his uncle didn't hold with them.

But I loved the podrace sequence, I laughed my ass off at Jar Jar Binks (whom everyone on this board seems to despise and wish a thousand deaths upon), I didn't think the midichlorian thing was that big a deal (just a "scientific" theory that died with the Jedi before A New Hope started), and I loved the two-on-one lightsaber melee with Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon Jinn vs. the ultra-badass Darth Maul.

You may hate me now.
 


I don't get why Independence Day is a guilty pleaure? Who thinks it's lousy, such that you would feel guilty? Seems like a huge success that most people quite liked, despite some mild goofiness.
