Falling Down and Videodrome are guilty pleasures of yours Lare? I mean, the thread isn't about amazing movies from the past. You do know what a guilty pleasure is right?

to me a guilty pleasure should have an imdb rating below 6
OR
be something you'd truly be mortified to be caught watching. Like if you are a big burly trucker that just loves this figure skating movie, or a womanizer loving the sappiest love story film, or a feminist loving Fight Club, or a bible banger loving a Tarantino movie. Or like me loving The Matrix when I told my friends how big of fags they were for liking it and any other unrealistic Sci-Fi trash my whole life.
naw because like 16 candles is a guilty pleasure but it's 7.2 on imdb, like uncle buck is a guilty pleasure and it's a 7. The breakfast club, also a guilty pleasure is like a 7.9.
So, I really don't agree with your line here.
like there is a difference between guilty pleasures and shitty movies that are actually good, for instance troll 2 and the room.
EDIT: The point of the thread is to admit to your guilty pleasures in movies, not holler at movies that are pretty fucking good that nobody would laugh about. Like I'm sure you can agree that there's a big difference between Rocky IV and Falling Down.
A few Adam Sandler movies come to mind. Waterboy, Wedding Singer, H. Gilmore.
Also, Nick Cassavetes flix. Face Off, Notebook for example.
Have a hard time with the older Sandler movies but somewhere between waterboy and big daddy he dropped off my map, so I'll allow it.
But when you go Cassavetes and the Notebook, you're being real. Not many men are going to admit to that.
you beat me to it. i watched the notebook 3 times this weekend on that weekend marathon, shit gets me every time.
I like my definition of guilty pleasures better. If you aren't instantly flicking it off that channel and pretending you didn't notice what was on the screen it's not a guilty pleasure. If that somehow isn't the definition then the phrase needs to die. There needs to be shame involved, like if I peered through your window and busted you vrooom vrooming your hot wheels cars on your wood floor as a grown ass man. There should be a pang of embarrassment involved with these shows or you need to find a different word to use besides guilty. Honestly there should be a certain degree of uneasiness to even post them in this thread. Unless you are a Sonatine or better film snob nothing in this thread qualifies. I'm sorry.
I'd say 99% of all movies that were based off video games or toys fall under the "guilty pleasure" label.

Playback error, but I am a big fan of anything Stallone. Even Frank.

speaking of which, perfect addition to this thread:
shout out to bukowski hating this film and despising mickey rourke because he stomped on the hood of a rented rolls royce at a promotional event.
he found it very classless and base.
