Van Helsing. I think it is a good movie, but most people agree it is drivel. I rather enjoy it, and do actually think it is quite good.

Bond Films:

1) The World Is Not Enough- according to a lot of CBn-er's this film is "bad"

2) The Man With The Golden Gun- used to be my favorite....still love it!

3) Moonraker- looked down upon on here, but I'll always watch it!

4) Die Another Day- don't love it, but don't think it is THAT bad!

Non-Bond Films:

1) Godzilla- maybe it is because it reminds me of Jurassic Park...loved it since its release back in the day....i remember having a Godzilla-themed 12th b-day

2) Jurassic Park 3- when i saw it in theaters, i was SOOO disappointed in the ending that i nearly puked....now i like it for what it is

3) Rush Hour 1 & 2- haven't seen 3 yet, but i always thought highly of these two when friends would say they "weren't even watchable"

I really love YOLT and DAF - those are two Bond movies I wish I could dislike, but I just can't.

I suppose you could group TND in there too.

Has anyone mentioned Surf Ninjas?

It's got Leslie Nielsen as an evil half man half cyborg dictator of an Asian island nation who is fought by Ernie Reyes Jr., Kelly Hu, Tone Loc, and Rob Schneider. It also features a Sega Game Gear that predicts the future. How can you not like that?

I haven't seen it in years but use to watch it all the time as kids.

Here's some more guilty pleasure films.

Airplane II: The Sequel
National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1
Spy Hard
Wrongfully Accused
Spaceballs
The Pink Panther (2006)
Undercover Brother
Johnny English
Casino Royale (1967)
Abbott and Costello Go To Mars
Pearl Harbor
Treasure Planet
The Black Hole
Titan A.E.
A Very Brady Sequel
Super Mario Bros.
Ernest...Goes To Camp...Saves Christmas...Goes To Jail...Scared Stupid...Rides Again...etc.
Police Acadmey 1,2,3,4,5,6, and 7

Friday 13th (1980) is a guilty pleasure of mine. It's not as gory as some people think.

Robocop Trilogy (even if the films got worse...well, stylistically Robocop3 is more closer to the original Robocop, than Robocop2 is. Too bad it was made as a PG 13 movie)

Police Academy 1-7 (Used to love thse as a kid and teenager. Haven't seen in few years)

Spaceballs (Well, Star Wars/Science Ficton parody + Rick Moranis as Lord Dark Helmet and Mel Brooks directing. What's there not to like..)

Starship Troopers (I dig Verhoeven. Though, I haven't seen this in a while. Liked the movie though)

My favorite Guilty Pleasure movie has to be Strange Brew. (aka The Adventures of Bob & Doug MacKenzie)

I'm not sure how universal some of the humor is though, as much of it relies on Candanian stereotypes.

It has its share of critics but I always liked "Extreme Measures" with Hugh Grant and Gene Hackman.

Into the Blue- although I am sure most of it is due to Jessica Alba in a bikini the whole movie.

I just got done watching "Gotcha!" and think it deserves to be on this list.

Or maybe I'm just a sucker for anything with Linda Fiorentino...

It is a shambolic disgrace. One of if not the worst movie ever made. Almost killed the Batman franchise and the super hero genre for good.

I speak of Batman and Robin. It is sometimes fun to see how bad this film is. It is a parody of Batman. What the hell were they thinking??!!

Uwe Boll's Bloodrayne. But only because of how insightful it is on the exact opposite of how you make a movie.

Three Men and A Little Lady



Once described by Scottish author Irvine Welsh as "Sickening Yank Schmaltz".

It also includes Tom Selleck expressing his own personal views on England..."I hate this country!"

Awful movie.

Moonraker and The Man with the Golden Gun. My 2 favorite Roger Moore Bonds a kid. Although I have a greater appreciation for the more serious, Fleming-ish Bonds now like The Living Daylights, On Her Majesty's Secret Service and Casino Royale, I'm quite fond of these 2 "worst" Bond films.

Casino Royale of 1967. Wonderfully bizarre.

I also have a fondness of really dodgy comedies. If it's meant to be funny, I laugh.

Not sure I can write it but Notting Hill with Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts - I almost feel better for getting that off my chest
