Top ten "Guilty Pleasure" Movies...

[Bekki]

It’s been a while since I have done one of these...
And I think Koboldkiller, Or someone else... may have done this already...
(But I am too lazy to look... )

But I thought it would be fun to lighten up the boards a bit... So here goes...

We are going to delve in to you Deepest of deepest...Darkest of darkest. Guilty pleasure movies! We are talking about that movie or movies... that you pop into the DVD player (or for us old school folks who still have one... the VCR...)
On those days when you know you have several hours to kill... And know that no one; and I mean no one will see... Because you hate to admit it... But despite how bad or cheesy, you just can’t help but love the movie!

Or one of those movies that you can’t help watching, even if you only catch the last half hour... you just have to sit down and finish the movie... Yup... That one...

So it is time my friends, time to take the virtual Skeletons
(Or movies as it were...)out of the closet and come clean...

What would you consider your top ten Favorite "Guilty Pleasure" movies to be...?
So in fairness here are my Movies crosses to bear...

Guilty pleasure Movies...

1. Roadhouse:
With a great soundtrack some really good fight scenes...
this Patrick Swayze classic is just pure fun...
(I wonder how many lawsuits would he have had for assault...?)

2. Commando: A Live action "Roadrunner movie..." But...
How can you not love lines like this...?
“These guys eat too much red meat!” and “I like you Solly that’s why I am going to kill you last...” Or the classic “I eat Green Beret’s for breakfast.”
Ahhhh.... Goood times...

3. Galaxina: An ultra classic Sci Fi epic and sadly Dorothy Stratton’s last movie.
This Science fiction classic has some of the funniest moments in history...
The joke with the "Blue Star" *ethereal music plays.... And everyone looks around...
Is just awesome, and Avery Schrieber was just classic...
Add to that a Western Themed Space Bar that serves Humans... On the menu!

I can't help but like this movie...

4. Death Race 2000: The first one from 1974
with David Carradine as “Frankenstein” and none other ‘Sylvester Stallone’ *As “Machine Gun Joe” the turbo... Need I say more...?

5. Meatballs: A great camp movie; and Bill Murray was Hysterical and at his Manic best...
6. Back to School: I think this was Rodney Dangerfield's best movie...

7. The Waterboy: I know I know, but I can’t help my self... “You can do it!”

8. 300: What not to like... Gratuitous... Uhhh “you know” And Action... Yup. It’s a total guy movie and if you just want mindless fun... it’s perfect.

9. The Sweetest thing: Yes that’s right... I admit it... What can I say...

it’s a great road trip movie and some of the scenes are just priceless! When Selma Blair is in the cleaners has that ultimate awkward moment when everyone NEVER want to shows up at the exact worst time! It is about hysterical!... **

And Last but not Least...

10. Silverado:
It is a great western Movie with just the right blend of fun and Story. Two brothers headed out west and get caught up in a Land war... it is filled with great Stars like
Scott Glenn, Brian Dennehy, Kevin Costner, Kevin Kline, Linda hunt, and Danny Glover... It’s one of those movies I can’t help but watch...

So there it is, some are good some are... not so good...
But they are all so much fun to watch, I can’t resist...
What are the movies that as bad as they may or may not be... you just can’t help but watch...?

Let’s be honest now...

And Most importantly...

Have fun!

I have no guilty pleasures, movie or otherwise. If I do something and it gives me pleasure, I never feel guilty about it. If I expect to feel guilty about something, I do not do it -- at least not intentionally.

I certainly enjoy some bad movies -- "Starship Troopers" comes to mind, -- but no guilt is involved.

in no particular order

Airplane
Monty Python's The Holy Grail
Ghostbusters
Young Frankenstein
Space Balls

Monty Python's Life of Brian
Rambo 1 and 2
Time Bandits

Big Trouble in Little China

I do not think he meant guilt in a bad way.. I think he meant more of "wow, my friends are going to mock me to no end about this".. Does not mean true guilt is involved.

Saal

Thanks to DoctorWhofan for reminding me about Much Ado with Keanu, I also like Midsummer Nights Dream with Michelle Pfeiffer(sp). Actually, just about any movie originally written by Shakespeare....although there are a few that are one-time-only

[Kelavam]

See, I watch some of these movies, but with the types of friends I have, I do not find the need to hide them.

The Princess Bride really is a good movie. I laugh almost every time.
Finding Nemo - Great kids movie but a few good adult jokes in there.
I love Airplane. Anything with dry, punny humor. Police squad especially (anything leslie neilson!)
Caddyshack

The list goes on.. A lot of those listed I did not see as guilty pleasure. Great lists everyone!

I've got a few that some of my friends wonder how I even managed to find them...

Bodyguard from Beijing - Jet Li's first lead
Laser Mission - Brandon Lee's first lead
Bulletproof Monk
Airheads
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
Doom ( Yeah, the Rock and that guy that played Bones in the new Star Trek)


My wife, on the other hand, has some that I just can't manage to watch...ever

The Jazz Singer
Soul Plane
28 days (and I'm a huge Sandra Bullock fan and can't digest this flick)

There are so many good ones out there that I couldn't think of when I was posting my thread... I mean...

Batman
Reign of Fire
Jumaji
Zathura - jumanji set in outer space...
The New Guy

The fun thing about this thread, at least the way it is intended is that...

And that's the fun part...
