What Are Your Favorite Guilty Pleasure films?

[BAYLOR]

Was that the one that was a Magnificent Seven rip-off?

EDIT: I see that @reiver33 answered that for me...sorry!

Yes it was and it too is a fun film to watch.

I greatly admired Ray Harryhausen's sfx for this film, especially as a child I almost thought those dinosaurs were "real"!

And what is even more surprising is that according to the "trivia" section on IMDb for this film, Ms Welsh "grunting" was actually overdubbed by another actress

They dumb her grunting? Now that is hilarious .

Then there the 1981 film Caveman staring Ring Star and Barbara Bach . In that one the crazy stop motion dinosaurs steal the movie.

Well, d'uh. Obviously. I mean she was grunting with an American accent in a British movie. She would have just sounded ridiculous if they hadn't.

I think she just couldn't remember the lines...

Seriously , Raquel Welch wasn't a bad actress.

I used to think so too... then I matured and was able to move my eyes away (momentarily, I admit) from her chest...

Hannie Caulder 1971 one of her best films.

"National Lampoon's Animal House" (1978)

I was in my mid teens when this film was released, and held a special affinity at the time as I could relate to some of those characters in this anarchic college/frat-house comedy.

Hugely funny, disgusting, despicable, poor-taste, vulgar, insulting, sexist, puerile and totally brilliant!!

John Belushi bossed the show as the slime-ball college drop out; always cracks me up in every scene of his.

The $4m budget translated into box office returns exceeding $200m over the ensuing years; so much so various sequels were made, but never quite topped this wonderfully crude but hilarious film

Guilty pleasures are so fun. I think the guilty pleasure of mine I've watched the most has to be Deep Blue Sea. I know it's awful, but I love it anyway.

Terminator Salvation and Terminator Genisys Yes I know the critics were not kind to either film and the movies audiences didn't exactly embrace them but , they are both decent science fiction action films . I enjoyed both movies.

I think the main problem with those two was expectation - they are decent, but they pale and disappoint compared to the earlier films in the series. Also see X-Men 3 and Indy 4 as further examples

 

[WaylanderToo]

Prince of Persia and John Carter of Mars are another 2 I quite enjoyed

There were quite a few films from this period that had lousy special effects but this could be over looked as they had great stories. Sadly today it seems the situation is reversed.

"Earthquake", "Airport 1975", "Towering Inferno", "The Poseidon Adventure"

Four classic "disaster" films from the early-to-mid 70s, with messrs Charlton Heston, Paul Newman and Gene Hackman starring respectively; along with a myriad of other top Hollywood stars.

Not the greatest in the acting stakes, but tremendous fun all the same.

At The Earths Core
The People that Time Forgot
Warlords From Atlantis

I like those films too.

Then There's the silly but fun film StarShip Invasion With Robert Vaughn and and Christopher Lee . I loved the Flying Saucer Battle sequences in that one .
