I assure you I probably have other skeletons in there somewhere.

[Tarl_Cabot]

Those are some serious skeletons!

[brendan007]

While Titanic wouldnt be classed as a guilty pleasure, its the type of movie that nobody admits to actually liking. Well I love it, silly love story and all.

[Tarl_Cabot]

I like Titanic and I *love* THE ENGLISH PATIENT so whoever chose those two as the worst movies ever in that 'worst ever' thread all I have to say is..... PPPPPPPPPPppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UNDERWORLD and ERASER -- I thought I was the only one.

My best friend also lists the 1999 version of THE HAUNTING as one of their all-time favorite movies...Of course she is also totally in love (or lust) with Catherine Zeta Jones who displays a hint of being a lesbian in the movie

There are films that others think are bad but we don't agree are; I seem to have an aversion to films which get praised to the heavens and garner 4 and 5 stars.
Gladiator is a good example. The Matrix; Unforgiven etc
I nominate several which a lot dislike, but I am very fond of:

Saturn 3
On Golden Pond
Rising Sun
Sphere
Medicine Man
Waterworld
The Bone Collector
Hannibal
The Lost World
Prophecy [1979 version]

[Tarl_Cabot]

Sphere? I thought that was awful. I liked Waterworld though...The press had it in for Costner...it was a fun, B movie with a staggering budget.

[White Tuxedo]

Anyone mention UHF?

[Onyx2626]

MOMMIE DEAREST, DEATH WISH 3, JAWS THE REVENGE. Heh heh, now THOSE are guilty pleasures! Keep 'em coming.

LOL Death Wish 3?? May God have mercy on your soul.

FREEBIE & THE BEAN I watch it every year around Super Bowl time. I even own 2 copies, for insurance.

[Qwerty]

LOL!! Jaws: The Revenge. I love how as with each film in that series, they shark looked more fake in each successive one. Ah well, love the 1975 original, the rest are okay.

[americanbond]

Some movies I find irresistably entertaining...

Weekend at Bernie's
Booty Call
Fools Rush In
Deuce Bigalow
Pearl Harbor
Shanghai Noon
Gremlins
Tremors
Zapped
Dead Man on Campus
Summer School
RoboCop
Super Troopers
Lake Placid
The Quick and the Dead

Lol, i just dont understand what they were doing with that film. Is it a drama or a really bad thriller. And surely someone on the set must have known that making the shark travel half way round the world would not work in the films favour.
As bad as it is though, i always enjoy watching it.

[gkgyver]

I always loved these Japanese Godzilla movies.
I also love Bud Spencer movies. Give them to me any day!

[Blofeld's Cat]

Moon Zero Two



Even enjoyed reading the John Burke novelisation.

[Qwerty]

I agree brendan, I heard that the director of Jaws: The Revenge considered this one to be the 'real' sequel to the original, how wrong he was.

Still, I have watched it a few times.

[RITZ]

I confess........."Under Siege 1 & 2" - i like both, for one thing - Steven Segal.
"Nobody beats me in the kitchen!" Great line.

Satisfyingly entertaining, tacky martial arts nonsense with the "mr-one-expression-on-his-face" beating the hell out anyone who gets in his way. Turn your brain off when watching this.

"Hard To Kill", "Nico" and "The Patriot" all consist of the same basic stupid plots but i love Segal's no-nonsense macho attempts at acting.

[Blofeld's Cat]

LOL

I remember reading somewhere that whenever Segal acts he displays a full range of acting expressions from A to B.

I admit that I liked Under Seige 1, but US2 didn't do it for me much. "Mid air earthquake"!!??

[ChandlerBing]

The one Seagal did with Michael Caine is pretty hysterical. Any wonder Seagal has never directed a movie since!

[Tarl_Cabot]

SS made only 1 movie worth a damn and that was his first, Above the Law.

[007luvchild2]

The only reason I would watch Steven Segal movies because of the actor who was playing the villains example, Caine, Kristofferson, Tommy Lee Jones, Everett Magill, Will Forsythe, Gary Busey

[Blofeld's Cat]

Everett Magill's character in US2 was ceretainly much better (and better acted too) than Licence To Killifer.

[007luvchild2]

Everett Magill's character in US2 was ceretainly much better (and better acted too) than Licence To Killifer.

It's funny you should say because he was also better in Silver Bullet than in LTK. That's also my fav guilty pleasure of a were wolf base film.

[TGO]

GUILTY PLEASURES:

-Cleopatra (actually one of my favorite films of all time)

The 1963 version? That movie has my favorite score of all time.

Is it just me, or does anyone see Everett McGill(Killifer in LTK) as a future Felix Leiter?! He's been sporting grey/near white hair and does the southern accent thing in a couple of movies. He's tall enough and has enough of a presence to be Bond's contemporary.

I say ABOVE THE LAW is Segal's best film, with UNDER SIEGE, UNDER SEIGE 2 not far behind.

ON DEADLY GROUND's a guilty pleasure, fer sure. Just repeat after me, "what is the essence of man?"

McGill as Felix Leiter, should have happened in TLD, not as a least convincing sell out act like Killifer in LTK. He played some very unpleasant characters, like another guilty pleasure a corrupt NSA agent in My fellow americans.

Hmm, well worth pondering I think.

[007luvchild2]

Does anyone remember the movies with rapper group the Fat Boys - called Dis-orderlies? That movie is so sentimental, yes it was bad but I laugh my hiny off every time I hear Ralph Bellamy (trading places, rosemary baby) "step off homeboy." Movies based on Old school hip hop are like one of the good things about the eighties.

Those are what you'd call Divorce roles. Good actors paying off the ball and chain and her/his lawyers...
