The Frisco Kid - a buddy movie featuring Gene Wilder as a Rabbi and Harrison Ford as an outlaw. Great fun!

Mean Girls
Freaky Friday
She's All That
Ten Things I Hate About You

basically, I like American teenage chic-flicks, despite the fact that it's a long time since I've been a teenager, and I've never been an American or a chic.

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.

Not exactly a guilty pleasure, but the BBC Pride & Prejudice probably doesn't net me any cred on this site, and I like it a lot. We have it for my wife, and I'm always bugging her to watch it with me. The pseudo-Bollywood version, Bride & Prejudice I also thought was lots of fun, and my wife didn't even like that one. I may actually buy a copy for myself!

Predator 2 and Alien vs. Predator are guilty pleasure movies for me, I suppose. I don't know why Predator 2 doesn't get more respect from the geek crowd though; I've always thought it was a pretty good movie.

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.

A lot of people think Independence Day was so implausible that it was unwatchable. Uploading a virus into a superior alien race's computer to make their ships go boom, and such. I love it, I think it's a great rompin' popcorn flick.

I second Kentucky Fried Movie ("It is very important to know what to do when you die. First, do not drive. Second, do not attempt to use heavy machinery. Third, do not talk.") Also I second Krull.

My own personal movie that I watch when I want to laugh my arse off is Showgirls. Lots of naked people, which is always good, and the acting is sooo frickin hilariously bad that I always have a great time

I agree that a "guilty" pleasure should be a movie that you watch consistently yet if someone walked into the room while you were watching it, you would feel embarassed to explain why. Unless of course you were quick with the channel changer.

Strange Brew
Hell Comes to Frogtown
Ice Pirates
Reanimator
Earth Girls are Easy

And JD you are not the only one to enjoy P&P. I was upset that there was not more to the mini-series when I watched it the first time. :heh:
