Guilty Pleasures-Films?
 
We all have guilty pleasures for music but what about movies? A couple of mine:

Anything with Jean Claude Van Damme-He can't act and the last few years has seem some real tripe (The Hard Corps) but I can't help but watch anything he's in.

Armageddon. I usually detest stupid Hollywood blockbusters like this but I have watched this at least half a dozen times and still enjoy it.

Doug McClure films-Journey To The Centre Of The Earth, The Land That Time Forgot etc Sci-Fi monster mash films that evoke wet rainy Sunday afternoons and your Dad fast asleep in his chair.

Mamma Mia?
Also, I have the first James Bond for some reason. Not that I'd see it again, but I thought it was alright....mostly because of Craig though...*fag*

Nah. I would'nt put them as guilty pleasures. GP's usually consist of a cheesy factor whether it is storyline or acting etc

I take it you haven't seen Mamma mia then....;)

The 3 Ninjas.. makes me smile every time.
Also Spice World, but I don't know if I should feel guilty for that.

That's more like it :D

Adidasss-no I have'nt seen Mamma mia yet but surely the cheesiness is part of it's charm and it is actually well made?

Among my serious-film-watchers group of friends, Knocked Up is not such movie, and thus it is considered a guilty pleasure for me. It's one of my favourite movies because I can watch it over and over and over again, 'cause it makes me feel good everytime. There's also Mission Impossible 3, which I watched about 3 or 4 times in two days, and Casino Royale, which I've watched about the same amount of times.

I know this isn't fair, but in my definition of guilty pleasure, these movies count. Escapist fun. To me that's a guilty pleasure. A medium that you can use to escape.

But if we're going with the traditional definition, the Spice Girls movie brings back many nostalgic memories, and so I would watch it again.

Um, it's a bad film that relies entirely on ABBA's greatest hits to make it watchable. The humor was bad, the singing was bad, the story was bad and the directing was bad. But it's not a B-movie if that's what you're asking...:\
