No, this is not a topic about p0rn.
Thought I'd throw this out there as a discussion topic while we wait for the next season to get here.
What movies do you feel a guilty pleasure in enjoying? Movies that you know are pretty bad or just way outside what people would expect you to like but you don't care what critics/friends/family say. Movies that you'll watch over and over again whenever they come on TV (or that you pop into a DVD player).
For me, I think mine would be
- Happy Gilmore
- The Waterboy
- Hollywood Nights (with a young Tony Danza, Michele Pfeiffer and Robert Wuhl)
- Used Cars (Kurt Russell in prime form)
there are others I really go to over and over again but none of them get the wife's eyeroll like these do.
How about anyone else?
-
sharknado
-
Zoolander and Uncle Buck both get 64% on Rotten Tomatoes, not sure if that qualifies. There are also the mid 2000s trio of Grandma's Boy, Hamlet 2 and Hot Rod that are all really solid if not particularly intelligent
-
Pitch Perfect. Wife had me watch it, hooked. :-X :-X
-
Whenever the Sweetest Thing with Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate comes on TV (which is a lot strangely enough) I have to watch it.
-
I seem to always get caught up watching White Chicks....Love that movie..Terry Crews is awesome in that....
-
Party Monster (Macaulay Culkin and Seth Green)
You Got Served
Rad
The last being my favorite movie of all time. For people who know the movie (like, really know), they totally understand - otherwise I just come off crazy.
-
the BMX movie?
-
the BMX movie?
Yes, definitely. The 1986 classic starring Bill Allen, Lori Loughlin (Becky from Full House), and Bart Connor (the gymnast. It really is that good ;D

Excuse me Blob, I don't have a watch.
-
For some reason I've always had a soft spot for that ridiculous Fast + Furious knockoff, Torque.
And I love Mystery Science Theater 3000, but that doesn't really count. I guess old Godzilla movies?
-
Pitch Perfect. Wife had me watch it, hooked. :-X :-X
Beat me to it.
Is it wrong to be excited for Pitch Perfect 2?
Add Sharknado here too. That thing is hilarious!
-
Conan movies. Arnold Schwarzenegger
Cable Guy. Jimmy Carey
Talladega Nights. Will Ferrell
Martial art movies
-
Pretty much anything made between 1980 and 1989.
Watched Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure last night on NetFlix as a matter of fact. (Way better than the Monday night games)
-
I don't feel guilty about any of my pleasures.

LOL I literally clicked the thread just so I could say Zoolander! Nice!

TP to the OP for this topic. I had fun thinking about it my whole ride home from work. I couldn't land on one leader but there are a few movies I'd put on this list.
Obscure/Not highly regarded movies
Fear of a Black Hat - a mockumentary about an up and coming rap group NWH ("Edited. Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.s With Hats"). I probably have watched this movie about 30 times. A group of about 6 - 8 of my friends love it, and quotes from it still get thrown around at parties, fantasy football drafts, etc. Anyone else around has no idea what we are talking about.
The Great White Hype - not very highly regarded in it's day, this movie has always cracked me up and I think it is one of Samuel L. Jackson's best roles.
Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human - movie features Carmen Electra and some random nobody guy actor progressing throw a relationship from dating to pregnancy, but the story is told from the perspective of an alien National Geographic Show.
Movies a lot of people probably wouldn't think I'd love watching over and over
Lost in Translation - I absolutely love this movie, and can pretty much pick it up at any point in the story and keep watching it. ScarJo was young and super hot, and there is something about the story that just resonates with me. I also think the ending is perfect. (spoiler alert) A few of my female friends have vehemently disagreed with me on this, but I like not knowing what they said to each other. I love that it is left to the imagination. I was just happy that in the end the elephant in the room was acknowledged, and they had the "moment" they both wanted instead of it ending with a great "what-if".
The Princess Bride - just a fun movie to watch, even years after my childhood when I first saw it. A light, entertaining chick flick that this guy can watch over and over again.
-
Home Alone I and II
Old Jackie Chan Movies (drunken master, snake in the eagle's shadow, fist of fury)
Wayne's World I and II
Bill and Ted's I and II
Back to the future trilogy
Star Wars (the entire saga)
Super
Talladega Nights
Ace Ventura I and II
The movie where Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore were with the Red Sox when they won the world series (I forgot the title)
Celtics Pride
Most of these are comedies.
-
Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, Dodgeball. I love Talledega Nights but I actually thought it was an excellent movie! If we can count that movie then I'm going to add all the Naked Guns, Spy Hard, and Wrongfully Accused.
-
-Rocky 2
-Wilcats
-Major League
-Semi Pro
-Above the Rim
-bloodsport
-Rudy
-Rush hour
-The Mask
-Bad Boys
- Superbad
-
Excuse me Blob, I don't have a watch.
TP - Thanks for that. My high school yearbook quote (long ago) was, "OK dudes, let's walk this sucker...Alright!" I'll have to watch it again soon - it really has been too long.
-
"Welcome to Woop Woop" & "Strictly Ballroom"! I have a weakness for those Aussie movies with a different sense of humor. Not a movie but I hope everyone is checking out "Rake", not the USA travesty but the original Australian TV series.
-
sharknado
watched that after it had all the hype - couldn't take more than 20 minutes of it. kudos to you if you enjoy it
-
Zoolander and Uncle Buck both get 64% on Rotten Tomatoes, not sure if that qualifies. There are also the mid 2000s trio of Grandma's Boy, Hamlet 2 and Hot Rod that are all really solid if not particularly intelligent
love Zoolander. wouldn't consider that or Buck to be bad movies at all. very underrated movies
-
Whenever the Sweetest Thing with Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate comes on TV (which is a lot strangely enough) I have to watch it.
forgot about that one. I like that one too - have always had a thing for Christina Applegate
-
remembered a couple of others:
Hellboy and Kelly's Heroes. not sure if those would be considered bad movies but I like them
-
Home Alone I and II
Old Jackie Chan Movies (drunken master, snake in the eagle's shadow, fist of fury)
Wayne's World I and II

Super
Talladega Nights
Ace Ventura I and II
The movie where Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore were with the Red Sox when they won the world series (I forgot the title)
Celtics Pride
Most of these are comedies.
That movie is Fever Pitch.
I laughed so hard at Freddy Got Fingered at all the most shameful and inappropriate cheap laughs, and I don't care who knows.
Not sure if it's a guilty pleasure but whenever Mean Girls is on I watch it from wherever I pick it up until the end.
I thought The Girl Next Door was a piece of garbage, but basically any scene in that movie with Eliza Cuthbert has an unfair hold over me.
People slam Deja Vu for it's inconsistencies and the overall ridiculousness of the "science" involved, but I guess I'm a sucker for most any Denzel movie. I've got the DVD.
-
I've been watching National Treasure this week. Still holds up as cheesy but likable.
-
Don't really watch many movies, but Beerfest for one.
And while not really movies, but I love some of the Comedy Central roasts. Good for crude, over the top humor.
-
This is a tough one to admit.... but I find 50 First Dates to be weirdly charming and re-watchable.
I feel a lot better getting that off my chest, thanks OP.
-
I thought about it a bit more...
To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar
B.A.P.S
Soul Plane
You know what, I'm gonna stop this is getting sad LOL.

I came across a clip from that movie once and assumed that it was ****. Was I wrong?
-
I seem to always get caught up watching White Chicks....Love that movie..Terry Crews is awesome in that....
any movie with Mr. Crews is awesome. ;D
Kung-fu hustle and shaolin soccer for me are really fun movies.
-
Don't really watch many movies, but Beerfest for one.

love Beerfest. always catch that when Comedy Central puts it in their monthly movie rotation
-

that's definitely my wife's go-to movie along with My Best Friend's Wedding and Love Actually
must admit I think them as well. Love Actually was pretty underrated IMHO
-
Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion is a surprisingly solid comedy.
I also used to love Pump up the Volume, but you may have to be a disaffected high school student the first couple times you see it.
...oh yeah, and Dirty Work with Norm MacDonald. It's a crappy movie wrapped around a couple dozen comedic gems.
(NSFW Language)

All of the Underworld movies.
Darby O'Gill and the little people- watch it every St. Patricks day
Leprechaun
-
Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, Dodgeball. I love Talledega Nights but I actually thought it was an excellent movie! If we can count that movie then I'm going to add all the Naked Guns, Spy Hard, and Wrongfully Accused.
Kung Pow is the ultimate "Love it or hate it" movie. I think it is fantastic, but I have friends that had to shut it off before it was finished.
Two other comedies that got horrendous reviews that I think are really funny are Deuce Bigalow and Deuce Bigalow 2.

-

Perks was a decent movie. have to admit once was enough though.

-
how about purple rain
sort of corny as i watch it as an adult but prince rocks
-
Forgive me if this has been mentioned earlier but BASEketball has to be up there. Every part with Robert Stack and definitely a NSFCelticsBlog scene where Matt Stone starts licking a certain instrument furiously had my eyes watering at least the first time.

forgot about Baseketball - good 'guilty' movie. right up there with Balls of Fury and Beerfest for movies you know are bad but can't help but enjoy them
-
Mean Girls
-
Mean Girls
This one has been so popular amongst my group of friends and I have just never gotten into it.
My ultimate guilty pleasure movie is Scream. I can't tell you how many times I stayed up til 2 or 3 am in college watching that on HBO and Cinemax.
-
Mean Girls
This may be the single most disorienting post I've ever read on CB.
The image of Roy on the couch watching Mean Girls.... ;D
-----------
I like junky movies so nothing is jumping to mind that hasn't been said. Maybe:
- Can't Buy Me Love
- anything with Elisabeth Shue
I also watched Poison Ivy (not THAT one the, the TV movie with Michael J Fox and Nancy McKeon (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089820/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_27) about a summer camp) like every day for a couple years after school.
-
"Drop Dead Gorgeous". The cast is stacked which you wouldn't assume considering the plot - Kirsten Dunst, Denise Richards, Brittany Murphy, Allison Janney and Amy Adams.
All of the over the top beauty pageant scenes, all of the bad Minnesota accents. It's gold.
-
Definately Roll Bounce and True Lies....everytime these movies come on...I have to watch...
-
I'm scratching my head at what some of you consider guilty pleasures, but whatever. Though I'm scratching my head at some I'll be listing since I think they're awesome.

Going to stop there, have too many and can go on for the rest of the day, plus I don't consider many of these guilty at all, but I guess they fit once one gets down to it.

What I was going for in terms of 'guilty pleasures' when I created the topic were movies you know are pretty bad or that no one likes but you watch them all the same.
based on this list, a lot of these films qualify. 8)

I know many/most do :)
But then I go through other mentions, like Star Wars, The Incredibles, The Princess Bride, Back to the Future, Home Alone, Superbad, Naked Gun, Rudy, Rocky II, Bloodsport, Ace Ventura... and I just have to scratch my head to some degree. Or maybe there's a lack of awareness of how many people actually think these movies are a very good watch.
Though I guess one can argue that the perception of geekness in some of these, despite being good, makes it a guilty pleasure in that regard.
-
Definately Roll Bounce and True Lies....everytime these movies come on...I have to watch...
Watched true lies at midnight at a theartre the first day it cameout.
I thought it was going to be dumb. Man was i wrong. It was a blast. I still remember arnold wanting the horse to jump off the building but it didnt Lol. Also the filming error(run out of battery) by one of the terrorist scene was hilarious
-
[dang]it, got a few more:
Prayer of the Rollerboys
China O'Brien
The Perfect Weapon
Fast Getaway

hadn't thought of it that way but that does make sense. there's number of previous mentions I don't consider bad movies. of course, they also match up to a lot of movies I like

-
Zoolander and Uncle Buck both get 64% on Rotten Tomatoes, not sure if that qualifies. There are also the mid 2000s trio of Grandma's Boy, Hamlet 2 and Hot Rod that are all really solid if not particularly intelligent
Rt scores are so dumb in my opinion.
-
Sharknado
-
This is a tough one to admit.... but I find 50 First Dates to be weirdly charming and re-watchable.
I feel a lot better getting that off my chest, thanks OP.
that's definitely my wife's go-to movie along with My Best Friend's Wedding and Love Actually
must admit I think them as well. Love Actually was pretty underrated IMHO
I'm not into romcoms but thought Love Actually was ok until the walking dead guy betrayed his best friend.
-
Roadhouse
The best of the best
Starship troopers ( intentionally campy though)
Catwoman is seriously the funniest worst movie I've ever seen. Every single scene is so stupid that it's funny. I could watch the basketball scene on repeat its just so bad.
-
Most unintentional comedy of roadhouse is the old man looking out the window at a shirtless Swayze doing tai chi and he shakes his head and wipes his brow like " he's so amazing!" ❤️❤️❤️
-
Just Friends. The shallowest movie I've ever seen, but I love it. It is so freaking stupid but it knows it is so freaking stupid because the humor itself is pretty harmless throughout the movie. I also love it because let's face it, who here hasn't been friend zoned by that girl they were crazy about back in high school? Granted, the whole movie was extremely unrealistic because the lesson is if you were that fat and/or unpopular kid in high school that got friend zoned by the hottest girl in school, just turn into Ryan Reynolds and (Spoiler Warning) she'll change her mind! However seeing the guy end up with the girl he loved in high school is admittingly kind of heartwarming.
Another reason why I love it is because Ryan Reynolds character is likable and witty which made him look more and more like the perfect choice for Deadpool.
Likable cast, has some good laughs and a VERY relatable premise but very shallow and unrealistic, but man I'd be lying if I said I don't enjoy watching it again and again.
-
Conan the Barbarian still my favorite
-
Surviving the game with Ice T. I can't explain why I like this movie but I do.
-
Surviving the game with Ice T. I can't explain why I like this movie but I do.
Is that the one with Gary Busey where they hunt Ice T's homeless character? If so, yes, that was an excellent movie.
-
This one came up in the "favorite movies of all time" thread. Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves in POINT BREAK. A simply awful movie with a terrible script and mediocre acting. Love it!

The most unintentional comedy for me is when the bad karate guy (can't remember name, who cares) is fighting Swayze and says "I used to BLEEP guys like you in prison!"
It's like the equivalent of Happy Gilmore's "I eat pieces of 'poop' like you for breakfast." "You eat pieces of 'poop' for breakfast?" exchange.

Surviving the game with Ice T. I can't explain why I like this movie but I do.
Is that the one with Gary Busey where they hunt Ice T's homeless character? If so, yes, that was an excellent movie.
That's the one.

Over the Top.
I have a friend who when you ask him what he's doing this weekend ,he uses plot summaries from bad 80's movies like, " I'm entering an arm wrestling competition in Reno. If I win I get a monster truck, and can win custody of my son back." Cracks me up.

Added Alatriste (2006) to my list: valiant soldiers fighting for religion and women in early 17th cent Spain. Catholics should enjoy it, as it includes a number of insults against protestant heretics. Not recommended to Protestants, esp. if Dutch unless they want to laugh with the historical inaccuracies.
There is a subtitled version on YouTube.

And it had enough success in Spain to revive interest in the period, this painting for example was inspired from the depiction of the Battle of Rocroi in the movie.

Can’t explain why but the movie “Fired Up”

I feel no guilt about this but the movie that comes to mind first is The Rundown.
The Rock is great in it (he doesn't use guns because they make him too badass!), Christopher Walken is hilarious, peak Rosario Dawson, Sean William Scott doing his thing (for whatever that's worth to you), and it's before Pete Berg started relying too much on the shakey-cam, coke-editing he likes so much now. So much fun but I feel like I'm the only one.
