Guilty Pleasures

Fugitoid Jones · 08-11-2010, 04:26 AM

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.

ooglafina · 08-11-2010, 08:29 AM

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.

JaffleMan · 08-11-2010, 08:52 AM

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

*Ninjinister* · 08-11-2010, 08:53 AM

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.

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

*plastroncafe* · 08-11-2010, 11:40 AM

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.

Charlotte_Sometimes · 08-12-2010, 12:40 AM

Mine are Airplane (I & II)

They're bad, but oh so good!

*Hero* · 08-12-2010, 01:18 AM

Ninja Terminator. You can also watch it HERE

*Raph's Girl* · 08-12-2010, 08:53 AM

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.

*Guitar_Raph* · 08-12-2010, 04:53 PM

My guilty pleasure is a 1991 movie called Cool As Ice, starring Magilla Ice*, I mean Vanilla Ice.

Him & his motorcycle friends are stuck in a town that's very strict and clean cut. One of the motorcycles broke down, so they find this old couple to repair the bike. Vanilla Ice falls for a teenage girl, but her parents thinks he's a rebel.

Favorite part of the movie, when her boyfriend wouldn't give her kid brother a ride on his sports car, he later gets a motorcycle ride from Vanilla Ice. Kid brother spots the sports car & he shoots the finger @ him. (LOL).

VANILLA ICE: Drop that zero & get with the hero.

(*On an episode of Yo! Yogi, Magilla Gorilla is known as Magilla Ice.)

*Hero* · 09-02-2010, 01:50 AM

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

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