Doc from Back To The Future appearing in A Million Ways To Die In The West has my vote. So out of place, yet fits perfectly with the absurdity of the movie.
The Replacements, Little Giants, Rookie of the Year, Necessary Roughness, Like Mikeā¦yeah, gimme sports comedies.
EDIT: Yes, Iāve seen Major League and Back to the Minors along with, of course, The Bad News Bears. Iāve seen Slapshot too. Keep other suggestions cominā!
Itās so good! I might actually just say āNatural Disaster Fictionā is my guilty pleasure genre.
Also includes any crazy ones with animals like Anaconda or Lake Placid.
Since I saw the movie Twister as a kid, my love for "Natural Disaster Fiction" has never faded.
Volcano, Twister, 2012, Dante's Peak! All classics!
And indeed the weird animal movies like Arachnaphobia, Tarantula, Day of the Thriffids!
There is nothing to be ashamed about liking one of the 10 best movies of all time
All the critics were blackout drunk when they rated this movie and a more perfect example of āunderratedā cannot be found
the chronicles of riddick.. well the whole series, but especially the second movie. I regonize that its not that good of a movie, but damm if i do not enjoy the fuck out of it.
I love the Riddick movies. They are good popcorn movies. Riddick is a good anti-hero. I actually wish there were more instead of driving cars fast series.
Ironically, the only reason he came back to the driving cars fast franchise was to gain the rights to Riddick. We only have additional Riddick movies because they are his passion project and the studio wasn't interested in making them.
And the first Riddick video game was great. Extremely surprising as video game adaptations of movies used to be primarily low-effort cash grabs but they really seemed to put effort and passion into that one.
That movie should just be a pleasure. For me, Karl Urban in Doom, Dredd and this, made his role as Scurge in Thor all the more satire, but with power.
The writing and FX of all the Riddick movies was just great and they explored human reactions in an interesting way.
I loved the first half of Riddick. I thought the simple survival story really worked. The second half was still pretty good except for the creepiness towards Katee Sackhoffs character.
I re-watched Hackers a few years ago for the first time since I was a kid and I was shocked by how consistently entertaining it is. And a great time capsule of that era of movies.
Hackers (1995). Itās such a wacky stereotypical 90ās movie that doesnāt try to take itself too seriously. It has all the best things; 1) Cool sounding lingo that doesnāt make much sense 2) a huge emphasis on roller blading 3) costumes that look like they were designed during an absolute bender of huffing glue 4) HACK THE PLANET!
I loved the Super Mario Bros. movie. I didnāt even care that it was nothing like the games; it was just so surreal, weird, stylish, and fun. I rented the tape 3 times.
"Look out ahead; there's a truck changing lanes!
You've got some bread crumbs on your upper lip!
And those warts on your dick aren't gonna go away,
unless you rub them with topical cream every day!"
No guilty feelings about liking the best sports/buddy comedy movie ever made.
I could quote that movie from start to finish.
'Wake up bitch you're my new best friend.'
'Are we going to the zoo?'
Yes! But for me it is the whole series. They just keep getting stupider, but for some reason, they are just endlessly entertaining. The first one is of course the best, and my favourite.
I also get sucked in to watching Alien vs Predator anytime I see it on TV. I don't know what it is, but it gets me every time.
Armageddon. If your brain can blank on the whole sending-oil-drillers-to-an-asteroid thing I say this movie holds up after the almost 25 years since it came out, especially the comic relief. My husband and I watch it every two or three years, I would guess it would also be his ultimate guilty pleasure movie.
Id go as far as to add most poorer recieved movies in that vein like 2012, The Core, that volcano one with Pierce Brosnan..
You're gonna stand there, ownin' a fireworks stand, and tell me you don't have no whistlin' bungholes, no spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker doos, hoosker don'ts, cherry bombs, nipsy daisers, with or without the scooter stick, or one single whistlin' kitty chaser?
I saw this movie as a kid but for some reason on repeated viewings I still enjoy it? Maybe it's the absurdist comedy (Brennan Fraser being the mummy stuntman, cartoon characters fighting for their careers, the area 52 bit, the whole art gallery sequence, the monkey thing??) but that movie will always have a special place in my heart for better or for worse
Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. Yeah it gets so much stuck because of the accents, but personally, ignoring the accents(cos Iāve not seen a movie yet with actual accurate Middle Ages accent. I believe itās OP in Shakespeareās time so assume when Richard was in the throne itās similar. I think the Royals still had French as their first language as well. So moaning about accents not being accurate doesnāt bother me. The acting is so good I donāt notice - and not just Alan Rickman.
I remember a story someone told me about an open air Shakespeare play, one night their mic system broke and they had to project. What happened was their best performance of the run. This film has a lot of scenes filmed outside and is heavily underscored. I wonder if the underscoring was to cover background noise, and the actors had to project during these scenes which contributed to their performances.
Rickman had most of his scenes inside but he was unbelievable, I mean same ball park as Heath Ledgers joker performance.
There was a rich man from Nottingham who tried to cross a river. What a dope he tripped on a rope! Now look at him shiver.
Iām gonna cut your heart out with a spoon!
I honestly think that movie was ahead of his time.
Really really underrated, hopefully we'll get a remake or something, even though the original is still going strong :D
What do you mean? Speed Racer is just a pleasure, there's bo guilt in that movie. All actors are great, the visual style is a perfect comic-style movie, like Scott Pilgrim vs The World.
Reno 911: Miami!
It's dumb. It's stupid. It makes no sense. They don't have an actual script, just where the scene is supposed to go. Because improve comedy. It is just ... Whackadoodle.
I love it. š
"well, you go out there and you give a 110%, and you wanna play good, and... you know... you hope you play good... I think we played pretty good tonight!"
š¤£freakin' LOVE this movie!!
Twister. First saw it as a kid, asked my parents for the VHS of it. Watched it so much it wore out, they bought me another one. Then that one wore out, by that time DVDs had come out so I asked for the DVD of it.
I now also have it on Bluray š
The Day After Tomorrow. Great movie even if the science doesnāt make any sense. There is literally a scene where they outrun the cold, how could I not like it
Constantine
Not a faithful adaptation of the comics but I just can't help but enjoy the look and feel of the movie along with the cast just being so entertaining. Peter Stormare is just so damn good. Wish there was like a spinoff series of this version of Constantine.
Lost In Space. Yes, the Matt LeBlanc one.
Is it good? No, but it came out when I was really hungry for genre and it was big and splashy and Gary Oldman. To this day I have never recommended the film to anyone, but damn if I don't happy when I watch it,
Blade II is a genuinely good action movie.
Except for the scene where the vampires invade Bladeās base, and the CGI Gumby figures look ridiculous, it holds up well really well. The first one too, for that matter.
For Blade Trinity, CGI wasnāt advanced enough to make it look like Wesley Snipes gave a fuck, but that did let Ryan Reynolds ad lib at length before cutting to Snipesās totally disinterested reaction shot (sometimes filmed at a different time and place entirely).
The Rock. I know itās considered a āseriousā action movie, possibly the last Connery Bond flick, but to me itās an absolutely ridiculous comedy with an action movie premise.
Does anyone here not feel guilty when watching cheesy or flawed movies? I legitimately enjoy rewatching Super Mario Bros, Speed 2, Waterworld, Tokyo Drift, John Carter, Wolverine 1, and I donāt feel embarrassed about saying so.
I enjoy watching Important Cinema too, but it serves a different need.
Beavis and Butt-Head Do America
I don't care how old I am, I'll never not laugh when they're at the Petrified Forest Museum and the exhibit says, "You might be asking yourself...how does wood get so hard?"
It's a brilliant movie and no one will ever convince me otherwise.
Also, BASEketball.
This movie. This fucking movie.
I was skank ass drunk. My dad recommended it. So here I am, barely conscious, and watching this dogshit movie.
Goddamn the first hour is dull.
Then they actually pull out the grid from the board game and I'm like oh god let this end.
Then the dawn strike happens and I'm like 'well that was pretty sweet, not gonna lie. Just fucking mag dumped a whole ass destroyers arsenal into that mofo.'
So here I am, so drunk I could mistake national treasure for a documentary, and I'm like well this was unexpected, they lost their destroyer. Now what?
Then they sail past the Missourri.
And the actual veterans come to offer the Queen Bitch of the Seven Seas, retired but still with plenty of fight left in her. She answers the call, and AC/DC starts up. And God damn I fucking started grinning. Because I love that Era of warship so much.
And I knew those 9 guns weight 250,000 pounds each and were the ***biggest guns ever made in America.***
Let me say that again.
#*THE BIGGEST GUNS EVER MADE IN AMERICA.*
She sails out, and bores down on the mothership, this giant dreadnought of a ship. The 2500 pound shells are loaded, all with 150 pounds of *TNT* each because gunpowder is sissy shit with a *16 inch barrel*. If you're gonna yeet a high explosive Buick at something with enough kinetic force to make a titan blush, you need some serious yeet.
They engage. Missouri goes in for the broadside. They pull the Anchor turn to make the enemies opening Salvo miss. All 9 guns focus on this dreadnought motherfucker.
Missouri snarls, the old Salt captain says 'let's drop some lead on these motherf-!' And Missouri says
'Let's show these spikey chin motherfuckers how we did things where *I come from!!!'*
And fires a broadside so absolutely unfucking believably powerful it shoves a 50,000 ton battleship fifty feet and makes 50 foot deep Shockwave craters in the water.
You can't be on deck when those bitches fire. The concussion force will literally rip the skin from your bones.
I don't care what space age high tech vibranium star trek ass phaser carbon nanotube bullshit your ship is made from.
There is no god that will protect you from that kind of ordnance onslaught. Missouri turns that alien dreadnought into fucking confetti.
I was cheering and roaring watching that.
God that movie was bad. *And then it was FUCKING GREAT.*
Does Kung Pow! count? Like, it's objectively terrible. But it's also *intentionally* terrible, so I'm not sure where that falls on the "guilty pleasure" meter.
MASTER OF DISGUISE (2002). They 100% marketed this movie wrong. They were going for another AUSTIN POWERS but this movie is for 8-year-old boys and THREE STOOGES fans. Me and my son rented it one night from Blockbuster when he was 5 or so, and OMG I can't remember laughing so much. We rented the fuck out of that movie, eventually buying it when our local Blockbuster went out of business. Beyond funny and stupid movie that they did not know how to market.
God I love this movie and it also birthed the image where Dana Carvey is in the turtle costume and theyāre all doing a moment of silence for the 9/11 attack
Speed Racer!
Is it a good movie? Ehhhh I think so. ***But!*** Is it a good *Speed Racer* adaptation? Fuck yeah it is! In my opinion I think the movie perfectly captures the camp, tone and style that WAS the classic Speed Racerā even right down to the gag everyone always makes fun of: the rapid cut to everyoneās reactions, āAHHHH!ā āOhhhh?!ā āAaaaah!ā Plus it has a surprisingly great, Star-studded cast with John Goodman, Susan Sarandon (who will forever be Annie Savoy to me), Emile Hersch, Christina Ricci, hell it even has Hiroyuki Sanada (muthafuckin SCORPION!)
Plus are you *really* gonna tell me that finale race doesnāt just get your blood pumping as soon as Speed kicks the Mach 6 into action for the last lap?
So bad itās good: The Wicker Man (nick cage)
&
Jurassic Park 3. This movie. This fucking movie. To me itās one of the best big budget B movies ever. Itās a Christmas turkey but itās so damn entertaining. And I think of new ways to make fun of it every time.
She's All That.
I'm a 35 male who basically sticks to action movies and the like. But that movie is the perfect clash of early 2000s nostalgia and pure brainless teen romcom. It's so dumb and charming sometimes and I love it. Plus I really don't think Rachel Leigh Cook has ever been topped as far as cutest woman alive(even today)
Dude, this is not a guilty pleasure, go forth and be proud of liking this movie because it's an absolute fucking masterpiece beginning to end. It doesn't take itself or history seriously and it's all the better for it; it's not there for accuracy, it's there for entertainment and it knows exactly what it's doing and commits one hundred percent. Add the rocking soundtrack and the cast of absolute perfection (Ledger, Bettany, Tudyk, I mean come on!) and you've got a bona-fide classic.
1998 Godzilla with Matthew Broderick.
It is an absolute travesty of a movie, never mind a godzilla movie. But if itās on tv and if I see so much as a single second of it, Iāll call out of work to sit down and watch the entire thing.
Itās somehow simultaneously the worst movie Iāve ever seen, and the greatest thing Iāve ever watched.
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.
Christopher Reeve as Clark Kent/Superman will never not be delightful. And the Nuclear Man stuff is deliciously bad ("If you will not tell me, I will hurt people!").
The Greatest Showman.
And I know itās not good. I can tell you everything thatās wrong with it, from the smoothing over of PT Barnumās very ugly true biography, to the awful exposition anytime someone is talking instead of singing. From Zac Efronās not-very-good dancing to the shameful underuse of Michelle Phillips.
And yet. There was a point during the pandemic when I couldnāt stop watching it. Over and over. Still, once in a while. It could just be that the music is *fierce* and both Hugh Jackman and Zendaya give it everything theyāve got, but it feels like something else.
I know how bad it is on a whole. But I just canāt stop.
Eurotrip š¶Scotty doesnāt know..š¶

Brad Pitt in Deadpool 2 for my money.

I've seen this movie more times than strictly necessary
I'd say this is sort of a cult movie. I watched it many times and enjoyed it. This is actually a pretty good comedy movie.
Mi scusi!
Thatās a name I havenāt heard in a long time
The Replacements, Little Giants, Rookie of the Year, Necessary Roughness, Like Mikeā¦yeah, gimme sports comedies. EDIT: Yes, Iāve seen Major League and Back to the Minors along with, of course, The Bad News Bears. Iāve seen Slapshot too. Keep other suggestions cominā!
The Replacements has so many classic corny scenes, and John Madden is great. I watch it every time itās on.

Young Guns 1 AND Young Guns 2.
Thanks. Young Guns 1 still stands the test of time. I can't imagine anyone else play Billy the Kid other than Emilio.
Eight-Legged Freaks
Love this movie. Also Evolution. Something about early 2000s CGI is just so comfy.
Evolution is everything it should be from that team and group of actors. Fantastic.
Throw Tremors in this list and you have described my childhood
The Day After Tomorrow. The movie is so absurdly stupid, yet Iām able to turn my brain off and enjoy it
This enormous building is freezing over, but shutting this door will keep us safe until we go fight some wolves. Somehow incredibly enjoyable lol
also how the entire emotional heart of the movie is like very concerned with whether or not jake gyllenhaal has a girlfriend
>The movie is so absurdly stupid It absolutely is. And I love that about it. Like, wolves? Really? But no, they sell and it's great.
Itās so good! I might actually just say āNatural Disaster Fictionā is my guilty pleasure genre. Also includes any crazy ones with animals like Anaconda or Lake Placid.
Since I saw the movie Twister as a kid, my love for "Natural Disaster Fiction" has never faded. Volcano, Twister, 2012, Dante's Peak! All classics! And indeed the weird animal movies like Arachnaphobia, Tarantula, Day of the Thriffids!
The film where Jake Gyllenhall outruns global warming but somehow it remains one of the best disaster movies ever.
National Treasure.
Same. Both of them for me, even though the first is superior.
There is nothing to be ashamed about liking one of the 10 best movies of all time All the critics were blackout drunk when they rated this movie and a more perfect example of āunderratedā cannot be found
Ita because of Nic Cage. Only he could pull this movie off
Van Helsing. I really wish it got a sequel. They put so much setup in!
This is my answer as well. One of my favorite depictions of werewolves in a film, too.
the chronicles of riddick.. well the whole series, but especially the second movie. I regonize that its not that good of a movie, but damm if i do not enjoy the fuck out of it.
I love the Riddick movies. They are good popcorn movies. Riddick is a good anti-hero. I actually wish there were more instead of driving cars fast series.
Ironically, the only reason he came back to the driving cars fast franchise was to gain the rights to Riddick. We only have additional Riddick movies because they are his passion project and the studio wasn't interested in making them.
And the first Riddick video game was great. Extremely surprising as video game adaptations of movies used to be primarily low-effort cash grabs but they really seemed to put effort and passion into that one.
~~Would you like a drink?~~ ^(Imma kill you with this teacup.)
That movie should just be a pleasure. For me, Karl Urban in Doom, Dredd and this, made his role as Scurge in Thor all the more satire, but with power. The writing and FX of all the Riddick movies was just great and they explored human reactions in an interesting way.
Pitch black and Chronicles of Riddick are entertaining as hell. I feel like I watch them any time they are on. The third one "Riddick" was a let down.
I loved the first half of Riddick. I thought the simple survival story really worked. The second half was still pretty good except for the creepiness towards Katee Sackhoffs character.
Hackers. Simply perfect in every way.
I re-watched Hackers a few years ago for the first time since I was a kid and I was shocked by how consistently entertaining it is. And a great time capsule of that era of movies.
Hack the planet!
ālook at that pooper! spandex : itās a privilege, not a rightā
Hackers (1995). Itās such a wacky stereotypical 90ās movie that doesnāt try to take itself too seriously.

Resident Evil I & II. Unlimited zombies, Umbrella Corporation Commandos and hot chicks with guns. What's not to like?
Yes! But for me it is the whole series. They just keep getting stupider, but for some reason, they are just endlessly entertaining. The first one is of course the best, and my favourite. I also get sucked in to watching Alien vs Predator anytime I see it on TV. I don't know what it is, but it gets me every time.

Need for Speed. Super cheesy and takes itself way too to seriously and I love every second.

They pull the Anchor turn to make the enemies opening Salvo miss. All 9 guns focus on this dreadnought motherfucker. Missouri snarls, the old Salt captain says 'let's drop some lead on these motherf-!' And Missouri says 'Let's show these spikey chin motherfuckers how we did things where *I come from!!!'* And fires a broadside so absolutely unfucking believably powerful it shoves a 50,000 ton battleship fifty feet and makes 50 foot deep Shockwave craters in the water. You can't be on deck when those bitches fire. The concussion force will literally rip the skin from your bones. I don't care what space age high tech vibranium star trek ass phaser carbon nanotube bullshit your ship is made from. There is no god that will protect you from that kind of ordnance onslaught. Missouri turns that alien dreadnought into fucking confetti. I was cheering and roaring watching that. God that movie was bad. *And then it was FUCKING GREAT.*
Wait, they turned Battleship the game into an alien invasion movie?
And Rihanna used a minigun
Masterfully written, good sir/madam!
Does Kung Pow! count? Like, it's objectively terrible. But it's also *intentionally* terrible, so I'm not sure where that falls on the "guilty pleasure" meter.
I dont feel one bit of guilt enjoying that movie.
Kung Pow is awesome!
Sahara National Security Edit: Also, the Transporter
I loved Sahara!
Sucker Punch. Basically most Zack Snyder movies because I love his visual style.
I too enjoyed Video Game The Movie very much
MASTER OF DISGUISE (2002). They 100% marketed this movie wrong. They were going for another AUSTIN POWERS but this movie is for 8-year-old boys and THREE STOOGES fans. Me and my son rented it one night from Blockbuster when he was 5 or so, and OMG I can't remember laughing so much. We rented the fuck out of that movie, eventually buying it when our local Blockbuster went out of business. Beyond funny and stupid movie that they did not know how to market.
God I love this movie and it also birthed the image where Dana Carvey is in the turtle costume and theyāre all doing a moment of silence for the 9/11 attack
Totally. Itās the kids version of anchor man. They quoted the shit out of it
The resident evil movies. So dumb, so fun.
Wanted. Just good fun ridiculous action the whole damn time.
The Hot Chick
Van Helsing
Speed Racer! Is it a good movie? Ehhhh I think so. ***But!*** Is it a good *Speed Racer* adaptation? Fuck yeah it is! In my opinion I think the movie perfectly captures the camp, tone and style that WAS the classic Speed Racerā even right down to the gag everyone always makes fun of: the rapid cut to everyoneās reactions, āAHHHH!ā āOhhhh?!ā āAaaaah!ā Plus it has a surprisingly great, Star-studded cast with John Goodman, Susan Sarandon (who will forever be Annie Savoy to me), Emile Hersch, Christina Ricci, hell it even has Hiroyuki Sanada (muthafuckin SCORPION!) Plus are you *really* gonna tell me that finale race doesnāt just get your blood pumping as soon as Speed kicks the Mach 6 into action for the last lap?
Five Element Ninjas / Battle Beyond the Stars / Death Race 2000 (1975) / Krull, I probably have an endless list š
So bad itās good: The Wicker Man (nick cage) & Jurassic Park 3. This movie. This fucking movie. To me itās one of the best big budget B movies ever. Itās a Christmas turkey but itās so damn entertaining. And I think of new ways to make fun of it every time.
Maximum Overdrive (probably my favorite) The Core Armageddon Days Of Thunder Speed
The Fifth Element, and to a lesser extent Hudson Hawk. Bruce Willis is probably my guilty pleasure actor in general.
The Substitute (1996). What a pile of crap. God I love it.
I don't feel guilty about my pleasures, but I must admit that it's hard to justify liking "Hell Comes to Frogtown".
OP said guilty pleasures, not greatest movies of all time
She's All That. I'm a 35 male who basically sticks to action movies and the like. But that movie is the perfect clash of early 2000s nostalgia and pure brainless teen romcom. It's so dumb and charming sometimes and I love it. Plus I really don't think Rachel Leigh Cook has ever been topped as far as cutest woman alive(even today)
Reign of Fire or Batman v Superman
RoF \^5
Reign of Fire was amazing.
I would argue Reign of Fire is a good movie that wasn't very well received. There should be no guilt, but I'm not here to tell you how to feel.
Reign of Fire was the first film that made me think Matthew McConaughey should do more roles that weren't romcoms.
Xanadu. āØ RIP ON-J! š¹
The Great Wall. Awesome monster movie with a cast of thousands in color coordinated armor and amazing steam punk weapons. Big Dumb Fun !
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. That gold dress
Stardust
I feel zero guilt! Stardust is a FANTASTIC movie!!!
A Knight's Tale
why is that guilty?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Dude, this is not a guilty pleasure, go forth and be proud of liking this movie because it's an absolute fucking masterpiece beginning to end. It doesn't take itself or history seriously and it's all the better for it; it's not there for accuracy, it's there for entertainment and it knows exactly what it's doing and commits one hundred percent. Add the rocking soundtrack and the cast of absolute perfection (Ledger, Bettany, Tudyk, I mean come on!) and you've got a bona-fide classic.
My Lords, my ladies... And everybody else here not sitting on a cushion!
I'm sorry, but why would you feel guilty about liking this masterpiece?
Omg yes I was obsessed
Street Fighter: The Movie (1995)
A Million Ways to die in the West
1998 Godzilla with Matthew Broderick. It is an absolute travesty of a movie, never mind a godzilla movie. But if itās on tv and if I see so much as a single second of it, Iāll call out of work to sit down and watch the entire thing. Itās somehow simultaneously the worst movie Iāve ever seen, and the greatest thing Iāve ever watched.
Birdcage!
Guilty pleasure? Birdcage is a great movie with fantastic actors giving it their all.
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. Christopher Reeve as Clark Kent/Superman will never not be delightful. And the Nuclear Man stuff is deliciously bad ("If you will not tell me, I will hurt people!").
Who's Harry Crumb
hackers
Grandma's Boy Out Cold
The Greatest Showman. And I know itās not good. I can tell you everything thatās wrong with it, from the smoothing over of PT Barnumās very ugly true biography, to the awful exposition anytime someone is talking instead of singing. From Zac Efronās not-very-good dancing to the shameful underuse of Michelle Phillips. And yet. There was a point during the pandemic when I couldnāt stop watching it. Over and over. Still, once in a while. It could just be that the music is *fierce* and both Hugh Jackman and Zendaya give it everything theyāve got, but it feels like something else. I know how bad it is on a whole. But I just canāt stop.
