"It will take more than that to sink this Battleship!"

Groan!

I use that quote frequently when something bad happens around the office.

Josie and the Pussycats.

There. I said it.

It's worth a watch just for the ongoing product placement joke. But it's a little smarter than people gave it credit for at the time.

Ghost Dog.

Every time it comes up in obscure movie discussions, folks raise an eyebrow or never know what it is. I then explain that its Forrest Whittaker as a gang hitman who lives by the code of the samurai and the reactions are generally "dafuq?".

I love it. Forrest gives it 100% and its pretty funny.

OMG that movie is awesomely bad! Du'Jour means friendship!

I love that flick.

Du Jour means Family!

Also, the teen hit "Backdoor Lover" is delightfully subversive!

It's a bit wobbly in places, but quirky prescient of some very silly ideas that are now accepted as normal

In the same vein Simone is great film and we are almost there with reality 'stars'

I like that one!

R.I.P.D for me. No idea why this even is "guilty pleasure" but apparently this film sucks. If not for the internets I wouldn't know.

Hey, this movie is fantastic.

The original Red Dawn. Sure it's a ridiculous military fantasy, but it's a ridiculous military fantasy that the creators respected and took seriously.

My friend keeps telling me I should be ashamed for liking the Force Awakens.

Well your friend is wrong, and he should feel bad.

TFA is great.

Babe: Pig in the City



It's a George Miller movie though. Mad Max, you know.

I really enjoy Trolls. When my daughter wants to watch it I feel like I have to make jokes that I'm just suffering through it for the 100th time, but truth is I'm happy when that's the movie she picks. The movie is hilarious and the songs are great, even when I'm watching it for the 100th time.

I had a simular experience with my daughter and the Curious George Christmas special. My god she watched that no joke, probably 200 times. I loved that movie though it was just so stinking adorable and to this day Ill get the main song just pop into my head and its been....6 or 7 years now.

Christmas Monkey, Christmas Monkey.... Dammit. Better stop. And with Halloween, we get the No Noggin special again and again. City kids wouldn't understand.

FTFY.

Truly, JJ Abrams is the tribute band of holywood.

Edit: Oh, and he's right

Another film I enjoyed recently was The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, with Ben Stiller. Is that guilty secret-worthy?

I regret that I still haven't made time to watch Starcrash or Yor, Hunter from the Future.

Was that by the guy who directed the Life Aquatic? Because if yes, then yes.

It took me 7 times to watch that one without falling asleep.

I even almost fell asleep during the MST3K: The Return episode that featured it.

Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone.

No. Directed by Ben Stiller, co-written by him and the guy who wrote Pursuit of Happyness.

You should imidatily put your eyes out, and sell all your belongings to the nearest Chutulu cult for liking such horrid displays of horror

My guilty movie/movies are the Megladon movies, those make me giggle like a evil child on crack

As far as guilty secrets go, there was a period of about 10 years where Superman 4 was my favorite Superman movie. And I love Howard the Duck and the first four Ernest movies. I still quote parts of Police Academy three and four.

Especially the yama scene.

That shouldn't be a guilty secret favorite movie. Red Dawn (the original one) was awesome! The new one, not so much, although I didn't hate it as much as a lot of other people did.

I'm wondering if the live action movie of The Flintstones should count as a guilty secret for me. At the very least, I think John Goodman was born to play Fred Flintstone!

Doug McClure fantasy movies are others I have a soft spot for.

I guess it's due to films being a rarity as a child. We didn't have a VHS until around 1989, and at that time the UK only had four terrestrial channels.

Most of the films I'd catch were weekend matinee schedule fillers. And man, didn't Troy McClure's fantasy fare fit that description.

Lizards with unconvincing prosthetics! Stop motion puppet joy! Women in surprisingly revealing outfits! Just wonderful, wonderful stuff.

I would include Ray Harry Hausen, but this thread is about films you're not really supposed to like!

I adore this movie. Kathy Ireland!

also:
DOA - all the womens! Awesome fight scenes!
Starship Troopers Invasion - I need to check out the new one too.
to a MUCH lesser extent, Starship Troopers 3.

Hahaa! Doug McClure was a beast

Black Knight.

And the Chronicles of Riddick.

All the Riddick films I file under the same heading as A Knight’s Tale.

And that heading is ‘Films With No Business Being Anywhere As Near As Good As They Actually Are’

Chronicles is a bizarre mash up of four or five films, yet it all comes together as a glorious whole. It should be a fractured narrative mess, but it isn’t. Vin Diesel should’ve turned in a wooden performance, instead we get a highly charismatic one.

I’d love to say it was luck over judgement, but I think we just have to admit the production crew couldn’t have made such a good film by accident. There’s genius at work there!

The Martin Lawrence movie? Speaking of him I also like his Blue Streak movie. So stupid yet so funny
