For shame! Guilty pleasure...

[Constantine Opal]

I am currently watching Spawn...yes Spawn! And on VHS no less! A guilty pleasure while I scoff some Haribo.

What's your guilty pleasure DVD/video? (Sorry if someone's already asked this!).

And can anyone beat Wizards of the Lost Kingdom??? Has anyone seen Wizards of the Lost Kingdom?

I would say this belongs in General Media Discussion, rather than the Lounge; so will be moving it there....

Of what I own the top two are:

Flash Gordon (because he'll save every one of us)
and Clash of the Titans.

Always had a soft spot for They Live, with "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. I know it's really pretty terrible, but I can't hate a film that has the line "I have come here today to kick ass and chew bubblegum. And I'm all out of bubblegum."

So good they used it in Duke Nukem 3D.

"They Live" a terrible movie?! I'd say you guys are smoking way too much crack over this one. I thought it's a pretty damn good film. Either way, we're living in opposite parallel universes.

As for my guilty pleasure, not that I felt any such pangs of guilt over it, it's called "Bad Taste." What's not to like over this alien/zombie invasion movie? Gross-outs? Of course, there's plenty of that. And the best part is that Peter Jackson was in it. He not only directed it, wrote it, but also played duo roles in it. Second of my so-called "guilty pleasure" is "Return Of the Living Dead." 'Nuff said.

Krull, because I apparently have a fascination with that bladed boomerang on steroids he tosses

The Dark Crystal, because the chanting of the Mystics strikes a chord

Legend, because the bad guy has the coolest horns this side of Hellboy

(OK, my guilty pleasures are stuck in the eighties....at least they're not in any danger of a remake!)

I have all of those too... but I'm so uncool, they're not even part of my 'Guilty Pleasures' collection! I watch them with pride... (with the curtains closed so no one can see me).

Just thought of another: Eight Legged Freaks. B Movie Bonanza!

[Memnoch]

I love eight legged freaks ha ha, it's one of the few films I can watch again and again if in the mood and reminds me of a very old Amiga computer game "It came from the Desert!" (about giant ants attacking a small town) pure class ha ha.

hmm guilty pleasure movie!! Anyone remember Deathstalker? Kind of a Conan rip off with ahem . . . slightly more adult themes!!

My ultimate VHS is Red Sonja. I have lots of others that I would never be embarressed about, Willow, Princess Bride, Labarynth erm . . . Robin Hood Prince of Thieves ha ha, as I find these in DVD form I pick them up to replace my collection.

All of which I love today as much as I did when I watched them at the ABC in Doncaster as a Kid!

[Happy Joe]

All good so far...

I submit; Critters,
Kelly's Heros
and Razorback...

Has anyone else noticed the resemblance of R2D2 to the owl in Clash of the Titans?

Enjoy!

[Connavar]

Spawn is a big guilty pleasure i enjoy.

John Leguizamo's disgusting demon is a perfect villain.

[merritt]

I always liked THEY LIVE
PRINCESS BRIDE is really funny

& again I love THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE - a shlocky B movie worth watching

That is one of my all-time favourites. I'm proud to shout to the world my love for They Live

My word. And I thought I was the only one...

Grimward - I always enjoyed Krull, too. You can't go wrong when you've got Bernard Bresslaw as a cyclops and a young Todd Carty as...er...no, you're going to have to remind me. What did Carty actually do?

I don't think of obscure or B-grade sci-fi/genre movies as guilty pleasures, they're just pleasures! My idea of a real guilty pleasure is a film like the Notebook. Ridiculous girly crap that I normally wouldn't touch, but dear god, I have been in love with Ryan Gosling since The Believer, and it's hard to stay away! Chick flicks are definite guilty pleasures!

Oh, and I LOVE Anne of Green Gables, all of them (including controversial The Continuing Story). Did I just type that? Where's the delete button?!?

[BookStop]

Oh, I owuld never say I had actual guilty pleasures. Why have guilt when it feels so good - I do have rather ecclectic tastes in film sometimes and I do realize that not everything I like is up to everyone elses standard on what constitutes a good movie. Ones that meet that criteria...

Vampire Effect - the rooftop fight over the teddy bear is awesome
Fierce Creatures - not in the same league as Wanda, but hilarious nonetheless
Return to Me - Oh, david Duchovney, Why don't you love me?
