Guilty Pleasure Movie

[reveal]

You mean like porn and stuff?

There's nothing wrong with porn and nothing to feel guilty about.

 

[John Crichton]

I'm gonna mention one that nobody has mentioned yet: Red Dawn. How could you not like a movie where the Brat Pack wages a Guerilla war against invading Soviet forces?

Go Wolverines.

Here are mine...

The Thing (carpenter's version) - Would have been a hit if it didn't come out the same Time as ET
Them - Not really a guilty pleasure it did win an oscar for special Effects..
Deep Blue Sea - I love it..
Battle Beyond the Stars - John Boy in Space what more do you want!!!
Godzilla - All the old ones before 85
Escape from New York - Call me Snake.
Dog Soldiers -Thought it was going to be another one of SciFi channels crappy movies.. I was wrong
28 Days Later - Good flick to point out that even if the world was infested with zombies other Humans would be your worst enemy.
The Craft - Don't know why I just do..

Some of these "guilty pleasures" movies named in this thread are considered to be classics; I don't know why you'd consider them guilty pleasures. I think the point was to name movies that in general are considered to be bad movies, yet you like them anyway.

In my case, I must admit I don't really feel guilty about any of these films. Maybe embarrassed is a better word.

And like glass, I have a funny thing for teenager chick flicks. 10 Things I Hate About You probably being my favorite of the bunch.

Great taste in movies and pizzas. If you didn't live several thousand miles away (I think), I'd invite you for a lads night in!

Sadly, I do.

However, all is not lost. I work for Ford, which owns Jaguar, and I've long thought that if I could get a rotation for three years at Jaguar (which is also located in Coventry) or Land Rover (which is supposedly no more than 10 minutes away from Coventry) that would be fun.

So, if that ever happens, I'll take you up on that!

I'm suprised nobody has mentioned John Carpenter's 'They Live' great classic B movie. Plus wrasslin'.

Or Wes Craven's "Last House on the Left."

Personally, I prefer "I Spit on your Grave."

Sadly, Jaguar is closing down their factory in Coventry, but I think their offices are staying.

Land Rover is still their though. Ten minutes is probably a touch optimistic (there are speed cameras ), but it's not far away.

So, if that ever happens, I'll take you up on that!

Cool!

Because nobody knows. Who considers them "classics"? The 'general public'? How do I know? Some of us don't sit there and gawk at Rotten Tomatoes and track all these different movies, and then pronounce that this must be what the 'general public considers classics' (disclaimer: in no way, shape, or form saying you do).

For example, I didn't see anything that I would consider a "classic".

 

[Desdichado]

Oh, I wasn't trying to put down anyone for putting up classics as guilty pleasures--I'm merely expressing my own personal surprise. The Thing is a good example of what I mean; it's a cult favorite if not exactly a mainstream one, and has enjoyed phenomenal success amongst "genre fans".

glass; I also believe that Coventry will continue to house the Jaguar corporate offices, and if I do do a rotation, that's where I would go. Since my wife has recently agreed that an assignment in the UK would be a great experience for all of us, distance from family notwithstanding, I'm more aggressively pursuing the chance to make a temporary jump to one either Jag or LR if I can.

Sadly, in my department (Purchasing) there's not tons of opportunities to take on foreign assignments, but I'll see what I can concoct.
