Equilibrium - Two words...gun kata. That concept is equal parts original, chessy, and cool. The scene where Christian Bale's character gun katas hell out of eight goons to save a puppy...brilliant!
Beerfest - Maybe I was a bit loopy whilst watching this at 2:00am, but I literally laughed my ass off. I wasn't even drunk. -------------------- "The enjoyment of art is the only remaining ecstasy that is neither immoral, nor illegal."

Two words: American Ninja
That series is classic camp: Bad acting, a story with more holes than swiss cheese, bad dialgue, and ninjas! But damn it...I love watching them. They definitely fall in the "so bad it's good " category. Unintentional comedy at it's best. And of course who can beat ninjas...Definitely a guilty pleasure. |

My secret vice: Hazard of Hearts. It's a wonderful British bodice-ripper based on a book by (I can't believe I'm going to confess to this in public) Barbara Cartland.

Aliens Versus Predator
Even people who criticise me for liking this acknowledge that it is at least better than Alien3, Alien Resurrection or Predator 2. |

I'd like to see an Alien vs Predator movie with no humans in it. No wonky subplots or dialogue - just grunts, hisses, clicks...and a whole lot of carnage! Now that would be a guilty pleasure. -------------------- "The enjoyment of art is the only remaining ecstasy that is neither immoral, nor illegal."

My guilty pleasure, and it embarresses me to admit it, is "Jerry Maguire". It's soppy and it's cheesy, but for some reason I really like it.

Now that would be a guilty pleasure. Didn't DC do a comic of AvP with no humans in the mid-90s? Completely mystifying, because there was a plot you simply couldn't follow. -------------------- Matt Kelland

My guilty pleasure movie would have to be "Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town".
I once reviewed it on IMDB as 'The Perfect Movie!' since it has damn near EVERYTHING in it. Here's my review. "The Perfect Movie!, 21 March 2000 Author: Bruce Whitten (StlBlade) from In Delta City waiting on a promised future This movie had everything, Drama, Comedy, Action, Romance, Motorcycles, Lesbians, a Musical number, Mad Scientists, Midgets, Zombies, Blind Orphans, and most especially, CHEESE! Lots and lots of cheese!. This movie doesn't just fall into the 'so bad it's good' genre; it pretty much defines it. Right from the beginning we see the Biker Gang that the movie revolves around get berated by their leader "You're the Sluts! Try to act like it!" From there, the Sluts are let loose in yet another small town, not realizing that this is Zombietown, run by the evil Mad Scientist and his Midget henchman. From this unlikely start, the movie can only go downhill. It does so with nary a look back, and not a scrap of good taste. If you like cheese, this is the movie for you." -------------------- |

(steelblade) My guilty pleasure movie would have to be "Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town". .....
This movie doesn't just fall into the 'so bad it's good' genre; it pretty much defines it. I dunno - I'd have said that anything by Russ Meyer pretty well defines So Bad It's Good, followed rapidly by Surf Nazis Must Die and Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers and the rest of Fred Olen Ray's work. Chopper Chicks was just riding on the back of the genre those guys defined... :twisted: Did you ever see such straight to video classics of the 1980s as Cherry2000, Rollerblade (not Rollerball) or Hell Comes to Frogtown? Or my other great guilty pleasure, The Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik-Yak? -------------------- Matt Kelland

Cherry 2000 is classic cheese. What's not to like about that flick...Brion James (great B-movie character actor) is in it! -------------------- "The enjoyment of art is the only remaining ecstasy that is neither immoral, nor illegal."

The Chronicles of Riddick is one for me.
Yes, the lines "I haven't smelled beautiful in a long time" and "it's an animal thing" are corny no matter who says them but I still like it. I really like the setting, the world they created. The visuals are really nice (I really like the Necromonger stuff, from ships to costumes) and the action is good too. The story is pretty standard "rpg style" stuff but still entertaining. -------------------- My mind not only wanders, it sometimes leaves completely.
May the Muses inspire you today. |

Mine would have to be Glimmer Man. It had good action and I love Steven Seagal & Keenen Ivory Wayans together in this movie.

Guilty pleasure movie?
Well, this one has to take the cake... Super Mario Bros. How can you NOT love such priceless lines as "Sir, the Goombas are dancing... again.." and the whole Mario Mario bit? There was no possible way to turn the games into a movie storyline directly and for what they had to work with, they made a damn fun movie. -------------------- And so we rise again...

I'm not really positive on guilty pleasure movies...(I think I have the gist of what you mean by that subject title)
The Neverending Story. :? I never get too old for it or Secret of NIMH; which by the way leaves me stunned at the title...a kids movie literally titled The Secret of National Institute of Mental Health..... :?: -------------------- "When I die, I want to go peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not yelling and screaming like the passengers in his car." - an EvE Online player

My guilty pleasure has to be "CLOSE TO DANGER" with Rob Estes and Lisa Rinna on Lifetime. Which has to be one of the ultimate guilty pleasures because many people think the movie is so ridiculous even for a TV movie.
My other guilty pleasures are Sweet Temptation, Outrage, On Thin Ice, Killing Emmett Young.........bet you've never heard of ANY of those movies. But "On Thin Ice" stars Diane Keaton! -------------------- i saw you try to do it like me & mann that shiit was uggly!
