What Are Your Favorite Guilty Pleasure films?

Die Hard - Cheesy fun. Never gets old.

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.

If you are talking about the Brendan Fraser film, I agree.

Rick: You're with me on this one, right?
Beni: Oh, your strength gives me strength.
[Beni runs away]

I watched both Die Hard and The Mummy (1999) this past week and enjoyed them all over again.

I would also nominate Legend. Wherein Ridley Scott fractures a number of fairy tale tropes and burns down a giant sound stage as well.:)

Yeah 13 Ghosts is pretty cheesey lol. Would have to say Prince of Persia. I think it was mentioned earlier on the thread. I don't why, but I like watching it.
 
I usually dig out some of my old late 70s/early 80s cult sf/horror flics for my GPs :-

Tremors
Creepshow
Rollerball
They Live
Re-Animator
Dark Star
Suspiria
Demon Seed
Death Race 2000
Piranha
Logan's Run
 
Pearl Harbor, Van Helsing (Jackman), Spiderman 3, The Italian Job, Fina Fantasy: The Spirits Within, The Mummy 1&2, The Day After Tomorrow.

Certainly They Live qualifies (RIP Roddy Piper). But nothing to feel guilty about for such as Tremors (just great fun) or Logan's Run (a classic in its own right).

Sure you have that the right way round? Have you watched Logan's Run recently - it's a very boring film. (Though the guilty pleasure of watching Jenny Agutter get naked shouldn't be discounted) They Live is much better.

They live had Roddy Piper in his finest role.(y)

Even for guilty pleasures, tastes are going to vary greatly. Besides Roddy Piper didn't get naked.

According to IMDB, he has 149 film credits. But I don't think Oscar was chasing him down for any of them. :sneaky:

In all the times I have watched and re-watched Logan's Run, I never once noticed Ms Agutter sans clothing! Perhaps I was making a cup of tea, or cutting a slice of cake, or watching paint dry to notice.:rolleyes:

Must try harder next time!:sneaky:
 
"One Million Years BC" (1966)

I was watching "The Shawshank Redemption" last night, and of course one particular scene concerned a wall poster of Ms Raquel Welch headlining this wonderfully goofy film from my youth.

Whether it could be classified as a "guilty pleasure" pic, I don't know. But during my callow teen years I used to adore this film..... yes okay, I'll own up and admit it was more for the bikini Raquel was almost wearing, lol

It also had great fight scenes, and of course the dinosaurs were terrific, even though they never actually shared the same time and space as human kind, given they all died out 64 million years previously. But the sfx were pretty terrific for its time.

But these days, it's all rather hokey and silly. It's the kind of film you'd watch on a lazy Sunday afternoon after a good Sunday dinner and you're ready to nod off :)

2/5
