They may not necessary be the best films ever made but, you find them tremendously entertaining to watch and they are films that you can watch again and again. :)
 
I love guilty pleasures.

OK, Judge Dredd, Stealth come immediately to mind and i'll watch them whenever. Sucker Punch, Resident Evil. I have a massive soft spot the Star Wars Prequel trilogy and don't think it deserves the abuse that it gets.
 
Battlefield Earth.
It's a terrible awful film, but entertainingly so, especially with friends.

The Room
For much the same reason

The first two Mummy films.
Silly epic nonsense and you can see the actors are having a blast.
 
Jack the Giant Slayer . A very good fantasy film that audiences didn't give a chance. :)
 
Die Hard - Cheesy fun. Never gets old.

Aliens - Not sure if it's right for this list, because it is a great film. A great action film anyway. Back before I had kids and had the luxury of hang-overs, Aliens was my go-to hangover movie.

Starship Troopers - Scathing satire combined with over-the-top action. I know Heinlein fans don't like it, but I think it's hilarious.

The Mummy - It's no Raiders of the Lost Ark. I don't even think it's an especially good movie. But it doesn't take itself seriously, and it's watchable as hell.

Are you talking about the recent one or the 60s one? Loved the 60s version, didn't dislike the newer one either

ALIENS shouldn't be up there. Not as good as the original perhaps, but both critically and publicly acclaimed, it's a damn fine film

The Scorpion King
Prequel to the sequel to the Mummy. Where we learn more about the Scorpion King before he became a half human crappy cg scorpion hybrid. And general to the legions of hell..
Here he is just a big burly nice guy who defeats an evil king with the help of a bunch of misfits. including the former evil sorceress, who takes one look at the hero and switches sides, a mad scientist who of course invents gunpowder and the catapult. A thief/comic relief. And an annoying obnoxious kid.
It's a cliché ridden mess. But like the Mummy movies, a joy to watch.
 
I never saw Flash Gordon or John Carter of Mars as a guilty pleasure movie. Both great films imo.
