Mine is Point Break. I love that stupid movie.
Some of Keanu's shining moments:
"I am an FBI agent!"
"I take the skin off chicken"
"You gotta go down Bodie!"
and the wonderfully dramatic
"he's not coming back"
Priceless.
What's yours?

guilty pleasure movies....

good thread topic:

old movies are my guilty pleasure

the "beach party" series

those cheesy 70s Disney flicks with dean jones and suzanne pleshette and kurt russell.

all those old 1950s/1960s melodramas, y'know the ones where the man was too good looking for himself, had chisel-perfect features and wore too much brylcreem on his hair...the women were always dressed in designer gowns and were prone to hysterically cry at the drop-of-a-dime:

imitation of life
madame x
portrait in black
written on the wind
where love has gone
all the fine young cannibals
peyton place
return to peyton place
the carpetbaggers
the oscar
island in the sun


oh i can't forget those cheesy flicks where three girls look for love in all the wrong places. the three girls mainly consisted of: the brainy, self righteous one, the naive innocent one and of course the slut:

how to marry a millionaire
three coins in the fountain
the pleasure seekers
come fly with me
the best of everything
valley of the dolls
where the boys are

anything starring pamela tiffin or tuesday weld or ann-margret

those old american-international exploitation flicks from the 1960s:

wild in the streets
the trip
psych-out
the wild angels

not to menion those elvis flicks in the '60s, especially the three he did with shelley fabares:

girl happy
spinout
clambake

blaxploitation flicks from the 70s:

sweet sweet back's basaaaaaass song
the liberation of l.b. jones
sparkle
cleopatra jones
foxy brown
shaft
superfly
sheba baby
coffy

i love me some pam grier kicking some ghetto @ss!!

bruce lee karate flicks from the 1970s!!!!

i also like those 70s comedies sidney poitier made with bill cosby and harry belafonte:

let's do it again
uptown saturday night
a piece of the action

70s disaster flicks:

the poseidon adventure
the swarm
the towering inferno
earthquake (featuring victoria principal in a very tight t-shirt)
the "airport" series


whacked out comedies:

jerry lewis' "nutty professor" and "cinderfella"

the national lampoon "vacation" series
airplane I and II
the "naked gun" movies
top secret

brat pack movies:

sixteen candles
breakfast club
pretty in pink
st elmo's fire
the lost boys
the goonies
class

Oh Marquise, don't feel guilty about your wasted time, some of those movies rule!
C'mon, Top Secret and Airplane?
The best!

Deep Blue Sea. I love it so and it's utter rubbish. And DareDevil. There's countless others, I'm sure, but they spring to mind immediately.

I think it has to be one of my favorite films:
Baby Boom with Diane Keaton. I love her. She is such a great actress and i must have seen that movie 20 times on cable.
Crossing Delancy- I fell for the pickle man.
The Wizard Of Oz- I think i have seen it 34 times or more.
Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory- Gene Wilder.
The Rose- Bette Midler
Big- Tom Hanks. I love Tom, have since he started in Bosom Buddies. He is one of my favorite actors.
The Dark Crystal- Everyone hated it but I adored it. Henson fanatic.
The Frog Prince- My favorite Henson Film with Sweetums.
I always thought Sweetums was under rated.
Sweetums gonna hit and smack'
Turn ol Frog into Froggie mash.
My sister and I fell in love with Henson from that moment on.

marquise, you left out blackula!

i'm partial to the old hammer horror flicks where christopher lee played every villain known to man.

i don't know if it's a guilty pleasure, but the farrelly bros. stuck on you.

oh yeah, and i sometimes have to watch it once a week...the last boy scout..."sure, sure, it just happened. could happen to anybody. It was an accident, right? you tripped, fell on the floor and accidently stuck your d*ck into my wife. 'oops, i'm sorry, mrs. h, i guess this just isn't my week'."

All the chick flicks - "Beaches", "Postcards From The Edge", "Steel Magnolias", "Fried Green Tomatoes".

Xana-dud? That is a tough one to top. Any badly dubbed Godzilla movie! I'll be there with a tub of freshly popped popcorn!

"Seems Like Old Times": Goldie Hawn, Chevy Chase, Charles Grodin
Perfect home sick from work, laying on
the couch fare.

"Ground Hog Day": I love it...

"She-Devil": Rosanne and Meryl Streep (a sign of the
Apocalypse?)

"Love and Death": Woody Allen and Diane Keaton

"The Big Chill"...I think I know all the dialogue

[LittleFish8386]

Footloose and Anchorman.

[Mister Matt]

XANADU has been my top guilty pleasure movie since I first saw it in the theatre on my birthday. Sometimes I pop it in just to watch "I'm Alive", "Dancin'" and the roller-disco finale. Olivia was at her peak and looked the best she ever looked. There is also one strikingly beautiful Muse who looks a touch like a prettier version of JoBeth Williams. I've always wondered who she was.

I also like Flash Gordon. Cheesy, but fun and love the Queen score.

I don't believe in feeling guilty because you like or enjoy something. That being said, mine would be "Beyond The Valley of the Dolls"

"Xanadu" is definitely my number one guilty pleasure movie. Also up there are "Anchorman", "The Adventures of Priscella, Queen of the Desert" (not really guilty about this one; it's just utterly campy), "Mommie Dearest", "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" ("What do you mean he don't eat no meat? It's okay. I make lamb."), and "My Cousin Vinny" (I watch this anytime it's on TV).

Beacon, how can any Woody Allen movie be a guilty pleasure?

King Arthur and Troy
