Top 5 Guilty Pleasure films

Re: Top 5 Guilty Pleasure films

This is bound to be a fun topic.

5.  Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.  It's an even number, but it's very hokey for the franchise, isn't it?  Still, I like the humor (Spock is a work in progress) and the fact that saving the whales will save the world.  I suppose I could say the same thing about liking any of the Star Treks.  Except five.  I don't like five.

4. Shirley Temple movies (My favorite is Bright Eyes).  Ok, so, old, hokey, musical, but she was just so cute as a button, and there is something infectiously optimistic about some of those flicks.

3. Happy Gilmore - I don't like all of Sandler's movies, but this one is funny and cute and the best, even if it's not such a cinematic masterpiece.

2. Jumpin' Jack Flash - It's all so preposterous, but Whoopi is funny, she hooks up with the British guy, Jon Lovitz is an employee in the bank, and it revolves around my favorite Stones song.

1. All the Muppet movies - I love the Muppets and am not so embarrassed about it, even if I shold be too old.  These are some of my favorites, though, esp The Muppet Movie and Muppets Take Manhattan.  Maybe it's something about not wanting to lose my childhood.

Re: Top 5 Guilty Pleasure films

5. Point Break

1. Basic Instinct and Basic Instinct II - Sharon Stone
2. Desperado  - OMG - ANY Salma Hayek film
3. Breakfast Club - Started watching it in 8th grade.  I'm 34 now.  I still quote it.
4. Nothing but Trouble
5. Uncle Buck - Okay.  Any John Candy Film.  He was an awesome person and comedian. 

Re: Top 5 Guilty Pleasure films

I'm not really embarrased to like any movie.  I mean if I really like it, I'm proud to like it.

Although I love most of the Ernest movies, but I think I would feel weird watching them with some people.  It's just so goofy.

And a lot of Anime, but that's usually more of the quirks that inhabit the anime series rather than most anime movies.

1. Witches of Eastwick

2. Superstar 

3. Red Eye

4.  Alien Resurrection

Re: Top 5 Guilty Pleasure films

I am totally down with tmoney's picking The Burbs and The Lost Boys(they kind of define guilty pleasure, you can't really say they're great films, but they are fun to watch). I also love Point Break - if you take it for what it is, it is a very well made action movie with some crazy action sequences.

paul:

The Outsiders - An all-star cast at its worst. But still, Dallas Winston should be alive today if not for those damned cops.

Didn't we ALL read this book in the 80's? Not only was it an "all-star cast at it's worst", but this is the same man that directed Godfather I &II and The Conversation. I've heard this is one of his favorite films. Wow! Stay golden, Francis.
