Guilty Pleasure Movie

[Arnwyn]

It's a Wonderful Life isn't classic?

Yeah, maybe that one is. I do admit a bit of surprise there (but it was only one aberration, which I expect in most threads).

You can tone down the rehtoric a bit too.

Or one's sensitivity level.

Quatermass and the Pit/Five Million Years to Earth (I've received flak from 3 different girlfriends over this one);

I love that movie!! Whenever anyone has to make a jump check in D&D, my fiance' and I exclaim, "Jumping! Leaping!" in a weird voice like the workman who gets possessed in the tube stations.

Plan 9 from Outer Space
Faster Pussycat Kill! Kill!
Pink Flamingos
Creepshow

But I experience no guilt from watching them. I only list them as movies that others might think of as 'bad' and therefore qualify as a "guilty pleasure."

I actaully thought of a movie that I watch that does make me feel guilty: Spice World. I can't believe that I even posted it.

Major League.

Willow - (non-gamer's seem to hate this movie)

I'm a gamer and I've always hated this movie. In retrospect, I consider it a warning of the kind of film Lucas would make given his druthers.

I would agree with the camp that argues that a guilty pleasure movie has to be one that you are embarassed to like. Airplane, The Princess Bride etc, fail that test for me at least.

The only movie I consider to be a true guilty pleasure for me is "Barb Wire" Pamela Anderson just looks soooo goood sneering in tight black leather. Also I find it to be somewhat ironic in that how BarbWire turned out is what Casablanca was supposed to be.

I'm old:

Hawk the Slayer

 

[William Ronald]

Real Men - With James Belushi and John Ritter.

Not for everyone, but I love this movie!

I have seen it, and it is a hilarious send up of a few different genres.

Dinkeldog, I am older. (There, that should make you feel better. ) Hawk the Slayer has a few good scenes -- in spite of itself.

The Sword and the Sorceror (starring Lee Horseley) also has a good one liner: "That's a very small threat indeed.)

Buckaroo Banzai -- an incredible cast in an incredibly campy movie.
