your guilty pleasures?

do you have a dvd that you really like watching but everyone else seems to bag on here at dvdtalk or elsewhere? I find myself sometimes really liking a movie that most other people think stinks sometimes. Here are a few of mine...

Saving Silverman
Rocky 4
I know what you did last summer / ISKWYDLS
Iron Eagle
Tomb Raider
the Postman

those are all I can think of off the top of my head.. how about you guys/girls?

I've got a lot of those:

Anti-trust
Batman & Robin
Clockstoppers
Dude, Where's My Car?
Exit to Eden
Flowers in the Attic

...just to name a few.
I probably have plenty from the rest of the alphabet too.

yeah, it also bombed in theaters and lots of peeps bash it. The r-rated version is even better (how could it not be with the hooker chicks going topless in it?!!?!).

Not Anothe Teen Movie. No plot, but hilarious nonetheless.

Twins.

I keep getting grief from a co-worker (who truly enjoys movies), but loves to bash the fact that I love this flick.

3000 Miles to Graceland - Great action, snappy dialogue, and Kevin Costner is the very definition of a genuine badass

The Last Boyscout - hilarious and often tasteless dialogue by Shane Black keep this one afloat.

I dont want to be known as a pooper so yes I'll play. tough call...but since the critics and so many others here hate it...I'll say I Spit On Your Grave and *gulp*.....Roadhouse.

Joe Dirt and
Monkeybone

..are the biggest two. I thought both films (particularly Joe Dirt) were hilarious. Christopher Walken's character in Joe Dirt may be one of my most quoted characters of all time...

For me, it's National Lampoon's Vacation. Got it on VHS, LD, and DVD.

Wife hates it when I put it in, but I get entertained by it every time!

I don't see why it has to be guilty pleasure. Just because a lot of people are closet girls gone wild fans while saying how they only watch monty python doesn't make them any less "manly". Anyway a few of my favs are -

Meet Joe Black
Serendipity
Crime + Punishment in Suburbia
She's All That (as in She's damn hot)
Bring It On
and lets not forget Ecks Vs. Severe

BTW, Rocky IV is a great movie
