Guilty Pleasure Movie

[nyjm]

Buckaroo Bonzai! - classic bad movie

I have to second "Red Sonja" and "Phantom Menace" as well. The first b/c, well, it TRIES to give us a female Conan (and hell, she does kill A LOT of people) and the second b/c those lightsaber fights are just awesome.

... and I am the only one who likes the pod-race? I thought that was a high-light of that film.

I saw TPM when I was 13, and was thinking "they ripped off Ben-Hur!"

I was right.

Still a good race

Ben-Hur rocks.

Oooh!! Ooohh! Mistah Kotttaahhhh!!


I forgot all about 'Zardoz'. I can't tear my eyes off that movie every time it is on.

Quatermass and the Pit/Five Million Years to Earth (I've received flak from 3 different girlfriends over this one);
Lair of the White Worm (ridiculous, but I like the idea of Amanda Donohoe running around in just fangs and blue paint);
Student Bodies (a late-70's/early-80's horror spoof that runs on cable fairly often & actually seems intentionally funny...to me, at least).

Oh MY GOODNESS

Amanda Donahoe was the epitome of everything slithery and hot (Ken Russel, go figure, barely controled sexual heat). If I was forced to worship a naughty snake goddess it would certainly be her.

For me - it's got to be Clueless. It's dumb, but I just don't care. I love it - makes me laugh so hard every time!

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".

It's a Wonderful Life isn't classic?

You can tone down the rehtoric a bit too.

OMG...I'd forgotten about this....thing.

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

Ice Pirates and Earth Girls are Easy are great. I haven't seen the other three, but maybe I ought to.

Don't know if The Princess Bride counts as a guilty pleasure, but I love that film.

Ice Pirates

Oh HECK yeah! Space Herpes > all!!
