What's your guilty pleasure movie?
Variations of this question have apparently been asked before but I want to know specifically with movies, what is that one movie you love that you’re embarrassed to admit to others?
I have plenty of movies like that, from Battlefield Earth (oh yeah I love that piece of crap), to Mystery Men (if you’re in the mood it’s golden), and a million in between. But I’m a movie guy so I don’t really count.
Go on share with the collective and prepare for the ridicule that will follow.

I can still watch E.T like it’s the first time.
The Audrey Hepburn version of My Fair Lady and Auntie Mame.
I love roman holiday, I don’t know why I felt I needed to share that but it’s another for my list, one I would never admit to in person.
Moses, Narnia, all the Hobbit and Star-Trek movies.
@Headhurts I still tear up on ET and love it, too.
Bugsy Malone, I should hate it with a passion, but somehow I don’t.
I so wanted one of those cars & a tommy gun splatter.
I like the campy hero movies. The Shadow, The Phantom… <hangs head in shame>
I would add Flash Gordon to my list after hearing @WillWorkForChocolate answer with those two but I’m not really ashamed of that one, a Queen soundtrack on a movie with hawkmen fighting space ships? Yeah you can’t beat that.
Flash Gordon was fucking awesome, just ask Ted.
Thank you gentlemen you have each earned a GA for the simple act of appreciating a classic.
Flesh Gordon was so bad it was kinda good, Dr.Jerkoff & those penisaurus…ussesss.
@ucme didn’t it get an even worse sequel? I don’t know, I don’t watch movies that bad anymore now that my local video rental places are all gone. I used to occasionally pick them up since I made the trip anyway, now I only watch bad movies when I don’t listen to reviews or insist on seeing something rated three out of ten by imdb
@bunnyslippers Probably, I only ever saw it once, laughed all the way through, mostly at the naff acting.
The Sound of Music. When Captain Von Trapp gives Maria those sexy smoldering looks, who needs porn? This Is Better
‘Raising Arizona’
“Eight hundred leaf-tables and no chairs ??!!.....Chairs, you got a dinette set…..no chairs, you got DICK !!”
I’ll be taking these Huggies and whatever cash ya got.
Resorvoir Dogs was awesome, love Quentin. Flash was so bad it was good.
Oh and before I forget “you’re young and you got your health, what you want with a job?” Interestingly enough he plays a bank robber of a similar type in another movie called Flypaper, which is pretty decent but far from a classic.
Do I get to be one of the cool kids now too?
@Adirondackwannabe When you italicize good like that it can replace bad without being offensive, I learned that at night school.
Miilo here: “The Big Lebowiski.”
Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o’clock this afternoon… with nail polish. These fucking amateurs…
Not on Shabbos, you can’t.
somebody is being a bit of a nihilist i think . . .
I’m Shomer Shabbos if you must know.
Come into my closet and then say that.
Honestly, I don’t worry about admitting to any film I like, even those everyone else hates.
My favorite film that most people hate? Shakes The Clown
you didn’t see nothing old man. we’re just five happy party clowns, sitting down to a plate of beef. white. powdery. beef.
Interesting, I think some of these are great movies you shouldn’t be ashamed of liking. Raising Arizona and Reservoir Dogs are two that come to mind. Wasn’t Resevoir Dogs critically acclaimed?
My answers:
Weekend at Bernies
Sharknado
Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion
Love Romy and Michelle!
I also love anything with Jay and Silent Bob in it.
@jonsblond Oh man, I love Weekend at Bernie’s! I laugh hysterically every time I watch it!
Finding Nemo is mine. I just watch that movie over and over when I get the chance.
I also laugh hysterically at Ernest Goes to Jail. I don’t care much for the other Ernest movies, but that one makes me cry with laughter!
Grease
Dirty Dancing
Beauty and the Beast
Save the Last Dance
Hudson Hawk
@Supacase You reminded me of Grease 2. I watched that over and over when I was younger.
Say Anything! That’s the one I was trying to think of. I’m a sucker for John Cusack with a boom box.
I love romance movies, one of which, I kid you not, is the comedy Zack and Miri Make a Porno. I LOVE that movie. It’s the sweetest “dirty movie” I ever saw.
For serious romance movies, one of my faves is The Red Shoes.
I’ve seen both these movies more times than I care to admit.
Tonight, for about the ten-thousandth time in my life, I watched and smiled and shed a few tears over a 1943 movie only older jellies will know, and very few of even them, I suspect, love and appreciate as much as I. It’s the The Human Comedy with Mickey Rooney and many other familiar ‘40s MGM faces.
It came out at the height of World War II and is as schmaltzy and jingoistic as any movie that ever came out of Hollywood. But it’s filled with love and romance and friendship and family values and yes, heart string-tugs from beginning to end. I adore this film (and the book) and I don’t care who knows it’s one of my biggest guilty pleasure movies.
Animal House.
“She’ll take this seriously.”
Jackie Chan movies are my guilty secret pleasure. I just adore him.
I’m not embarrassed to admit anything Barry Manilow fan over here but for the sake of the question, Hocus Pocus and Splash come to mind.
