Guilty Pleasures
 

What's your favorite movie that you know is a guilty pleasure?




Heavyweights and Ghost Dad are high on my list, but I'd have to say my favorite quilty pleasure is probably Clifford with Martin Short. Don't ask me why, but Martin Short acting as an obnoxious 12 year old is kinda funny to me.

An honorable mention should also go out to The Wrestler. No, not the recent one with Mickey Rourke, I'm talking about the one with Ed Asner that was produced by Vern Gagne and the AWA back in the 70's. The story is incomprehensible, but it's fun watching Dusty Rhodes, Superstar Billy Graham, The Crusher, Billy Robinson and Vern Gagne act in a movie.

Why should I feel guilty about what I like? It doesn't really make sense to me.

My favorite movies are just my favorite movies. I don't think I should be embarassed should anyone find out that one of them actually isn't that good.

One of my guilty pleasures is DOA.

The Mortal Kombat movies. Whenever I watch them I think, "Holy crap. This is bad." But reptile and scorpion are too cool not to see.

The Masters of the Universe movie with Dolph Lundgren. Even more embarrassing I own it on Video. :S

Mostly video game movies. Street Fighter, DoA, both Mortal Kombats, Super Mario Bros., and Double Dragon.

Like some s**t games, there are quite a few s**t movies I can still entertain myself with despite the lack of quality.

There was a douible dragon movie? :o

Yes. Nostalgia Critic even poked fun of it.

Abraxas: Guardian of the Universe and Terror of Tiny Town. 2 awful movies, that are just plain fun...oh and Battlefield: Earth

I didn't see the movie bit the first time through.
Guilty Pleasure Movie.

Steel Magnolias, Joy Luck Club, and Love Actually.
My guilty pleasures are chick flicks.

I am so ashamed.
...only not.

Mine are Airplane (I & II)

They're bad, but oh so good!

Ninja Terminator. You can also watch it HERE

Big Trouble In Little China and Gargoyles (a 1972 "horror" film about Native American Gargoyles)

Do guilty pleasures exist anymore? It's cool to like things that suck now, especially ironically, so that kind of guilty pleasure isn't the same as it was. The only thing you can really feel "guilty" about anymore is watching/playing something girly if you're a dude, and even that has a kind of "cool" ironic flare to it now.

Recentley its been a Pauly Shore double bill of Bio Dome and Son In Law.

Those Jackie Chan movies set in Hong Kong are my guilty pleasure.

Ah, you mean the good ones? :P

Another one poked fun of in the last year by Nostalgia Critic. :lol:

Watching Popotan is one of my guilty pleasures. I saw the whole thing over Netflix, and I'm not too proud of myself.

First, I have to say that I'm not ashamed to admit my guilty pleasures, I like to see the "WTF" face that peoples make when I tell them...

I guess that Twillight movies are my guilty pleasures, though I usually just watch the scenes with the Volturi... But in my town, almost everybody like Twillight, even the guys, so I get a reaction only if I say that I like the Volturi... :lol:

And, of course, everything that is considered as kids movies and TV show by the others... Now, THAT get a reaction from everybody in my town! It like everybody here stop liking anything "for kids" at 16 years old... :ohwell:

My "guilty" pleasures are teen or school comedies and dramas ... Jawbreaker, Breakfast Club, Heathers, Mona Lisa Smile, Princess Diaries, Not Another Teen Movie, Mean Girls, etc.

I also love the movie North - I laugh my butt off at the exaggerated stereotypes and general craziness in that film! (I love The Nostalgia Critic's review of it, too.)

Hey, you shouldn't feel guilty about liking Not Another Teen Movie. That was like the spoof king. Now a days we get stupid spoof movies that have like one or two funny parts and the rest is like buyers remorse.

Very true, Not Another Teen Movie is probably the best spoof movie out there... The opening scene is priceless!

-ms

Were there any spoofs BEFORE Not Another Teen Movie that were worth a damn? All I can recall there being was all that Leslie Nielsen garbage. :ohwell:


EDIT: On second thought, there was Hot Shots.

Hot In Cleaveland is probably my only true guilty pleasure. Its not something I'd brag about. Really though, Betty White is hard to resist.

You could have worded that a little better. :lol:

Yeah, both Hot Shots were also good spoof movies.

They are better than the ones with Owen Wilson and Chris Rock but still...

Not that I didn't love those :P

And Airplane!!

Scary Movie was pretty damn funny, at least the first one.
Anyways I really like this one movie I think it's called Big girls don't cry they get even or Stepkids or some crap like that. I only saw it once but it was advertised in the same vhs tape as the Secret of the Ooze along with Suburban commando.

Thank you Raph's Girl, I was just about to say that!
Spoof movies like Airplane! and Hot Shots and Not Another Teen Movie at least parody genres. These new ones, Epic Movie and Disaster Movie and whatever, aren't spoofing anything, just referencing pop culture and other bull-**** with jokes written by 8 yr olds.

I honestly don't get why the Masters of the Universe movie gets so much venom. It's a Perfectly Fine Movie. Yes, He-Man sounds like he had a cold, no it wasn't much like the cartoon because they had a low-budget producer, and yes yes YES everything from the costumes to the sets to the music was ripped off from Star Wars. So what? The only people I've ever heard say "that movie sucked" were people on the internet. :ohwell:

Considering that the same studio made the wretched Superman IV the same year, I think MotU was about 1000x better than it had any right to be.

Back on topic, my guilty pleasures tend to be Hulk Hogan movies. They're all pretty terrible unless you're five, but No Holds Barred had its moments, and Suburban Commando was a little funny. Sadly, the only good movies besides Rocky III that Hogan ever did were "Assault On Devil's Island" and "Assault on Devil's Island II: Hunt For The Death Merchant". They were done extremely well for Made-For-TNT action flicks, but I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who ever saw them. :lol:

(Actually, at the time they aired they did huge numbers for TNT, so SOMEone watched them, I just never get tired of pickin' on my boy.)

"Hell Comes to Frogtown" with Roddy Piper is probably the all-time Best Worst Movie Ever. So bad that the star denies its very existence.

SOUTHLAND TALES. It's mesmerizingly terrible and awesomely bad. 8)
