Guilty Pleasure.....What is yours?

[ProudMNDemocrat]

We all have one....a Guilty Pleasure. That one film so bad that we cannot resist watching or renting for the hell of it.

For me, it's SHOWGIRLS in the NC-17 rated version starring Gina Gershon and Elizabeth Berkley. Set against the glamour and lights of Las Vegas, the seedy, backstage side of entertainment.

2. Showgirls is good, but how about 'Beyond the Valley of the Dolls'??

My favorite line: "This is my happening and it freaks me out!"

Truly a classic, unintentionally hilarious movie. And having Roger Ebert as the writer just makes it that much more delish.

3. Space Jam

"What kind of Mickey Mouse operation would name a team The Ducks?" 😀

On edit: It's not a bad movie, just kind of juvenile.

4. And

It has the lamest ending in all of moviedom.

5. Harper Valley PTA

Barbara Eden is smoking hot in it, and it's just one of those all the hypocritical assholes pay for being hypocritical assholes type of movies that doesn't require much thinking.

6. "This is the Army" 1943

I know it's got raygun in it and a minstrel number but pretty good story and some good songs even if it is a touch jingoistic.

7. "Congo" - the BEST really bad movie ever made, in my opinion

It has everything: Murderous gray gorillas, a talking brown gorilla named Amy, Joe Don Baker, Laura Linney, the curly-haired plastic surgeon from "Nip/Tuck," Tim Curry as a Romanian named Herkimer Hromulka, Ernie Hudson at his most suave, a killer hippo, a volcano, enormous diamonds, ground-to-air missiles, parachutes, satellites, and much, much more. Truly, it has to be seen to be believed. I love it dearly!

8. "Plan 9 from Outer Space" - Ed Wood (1959)

It's so wonderfully silly-stupid, it remains a cult classic! The low-budget props are worth laughing about.

ps: I have a cousin who is in "Showgirls". I never saw the movie. Heh!

15. That is one of my favorites.

I like "The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" as well.

[Galileo126]

16. Also, "Night of the Lupus" (1972)

aka - Attack of the Giant Rabbits!

(Not to be confused with "Them" (1954) - aka "Attack of the Giant Ants&quot

[NBachers]

9. Danny Trejo movies; Robert Rodriguez movies, Harvey Keitel movies.

I think I'll go put on City of Industry right now . . .

10. From Justin to Kelly

The final two contestants on the first American Idol. Really really really bad.

Love it.

11. Tremors.

Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward, and giant wormlike creatures. It's no Citizen Kane, but I love it so!

[longship]

12. "Miracle Mile" with Anthony Edwards and Mare Willingham.

1988.

Yes, it's a tangled mess of a film about nuclear war. But if one forgives Mare's horrible mullet haircut, it's an utterly captivating film. It is such a mess that one cannot take ones eyes off of it. It's very low budget; it was all filmed in the area of LA mentioned in the title.

Pluses: John Agar has a role. Denise Crosby, too. Plus, many outrageous characters.

I want to go to Johnnie's for late night breakfast, as long as no trombone players show up.

Trailer:

Siskel and Ebert:

On edit: Oh yes! Did I mention that the soundtrack was by brilliant fucking Tangerine Dream??

14. Sucker Punch

Pretty girls, horrible villains, lobotomies and great music!
