What's you guilty movie pleasure? Now not b-movies or the typical liked films we know that, but those films that someone that knows you wouldn't think you'd like.

For me I like those 1930's Busby Berkley type musicals, I think that they are great it was real style. I'm watching the "The Kid from Spain" right now a slightly lesser know Busby movie, pale to the Gold Digger movies. But many of those 1930's and 1940's musical I really like. The choreography in them is likely nothing done in years. They just don't have those Ziegfeld Follie quality girls any more.
These films had style, class and eloquence that is nearly gone today, if it's not gone already.

Considering what this board's all about, I would think it kinda depends on what you mean by "Guilty Pleasure".
I know you gave a brief description, but it covers a pretty broad scope for one whose tastes are fairly eclectic.

I've spent the afternoon wondering if you meant stuff like (in my case), A Tree Grows in Brooklyn or Galaxy of Terror, Golden Apples of the Sun or Richard III, Huntress: Spirit of the Night or The World's Fastest Indian...

I think pretty much everything I'm into could easily be considered a guilty pleasure, as I'm into genre films of different genres, as well as the not so genre films.

Ok say you're talking films with your bud's, but there are some films that you like that you know you're bud's wouldn't necessarily like and you'd get that deer in the head light stare.

I was talking films over beers the other day and was telling them about these 30's musicals, I got ribbed, but I can take it. So I got to thinking what films do people like (aside from those considered B's) that their friends might not fulling understand.

Perhaps it is to vague of a question.

Ah example one of the ribbers I had, I know he likes those sappy chick films. He looks the Rambo, Terminator type. He'd never admit he likes sappy chick films, but his wife told me he did and showed me he secret stash. So much for Debbie Does Dallas when you have Steel Magnolia. LOL. (I can say I have never seen it and likely never well ... he has the DVD)

I get the topic, I think.  What are you, yourself, ashamed to admit you like... (and at the risk of being labeled "superior" it's "What's your guilty"...) 

I like the X-rated version of CALIGULA and own it on DVD, but it is crap.  So it comes back to "bad movies," right?   Question

As anyone around here knows that my taste in movies is somewhat off the beaten track, it's hard to imagine one specific title that would really surprise someone.

More often it's the other way around ("What? You don't like Southpark? But you always said you liked comics....??")

Well, I'm a fan of many Doris Day "bedroom comedies" like PILLOW TALK, THAT TOUCH OF MINK, and MOVE OVER, DARLING.  (Let the ribbing begin).

Mine is definitely Robert Clouse's immortal Gymkata: I will never forget Andrew's comment in his review of it: "Never use candlewick for your climbing rope!"

Another is Steve Carver's An Eye For An Eye with Chuck Norris, which is my favourite film of all time. Yes,  Buggedout I know, but it is.

Considering that almost everything I watch is a guilty pleasure, the only stuff that's odd for me would be the stuff that's considered "normal" by most people.  I guess my Christmas Collection (Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, Little Drummer Boy) might look out of place in my collection.  I absolutely love watching those in the days leading up to Christmas each year. 

Other than that, maybe Dark Shadows?  It's a Gothic horror soap opera from the late '60s - early '70s.  It's pretty cheesy, being filmed basically live on a tight production schedule, with the majority of bloopers and screwed up lines making it into the final product.  But it is a soap opera, and I do have 680 episodes of it on DVD. 

As far as TV viewing, I don't mind soap operas that much.  I used to love Santa Barbara, and watched a few months of As The World Turns a couple years ago.  I guess that's weird.

Other than all of my DVD collection, some guilty pleasures are sappy romantic comedies, most of which include John Cusack, golden age musical and films such as D.E.B.S [which I happily own] and of course the ever popular Gigli. 

Though I'm proud of my terrible varied tastes, not ashamed to admit them...
