I mean if you mention to someone you just watched "TCA" you're more likely to get a "yeah, that was pretty good" over "why are you watching that shitfest?"
Yeah, maybe not The Thomas Crown Affair, in which both versions are very well-regarded, but I could see how preferring a so-so remake to a much better regarded original would count as a Guilty Pleasure. (Ex. if someone liked the "Robocop" remake more than the original. I'd think they were crazy, but that could justify being called a guilty pleasure.)

I could list countless horror flicks, too. Not sure if it counts as a guilty pleasure, but I still love The Outsiders well into adulthood.

Most crappy sequels to horror franchises (Friday the 13th, Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, etc.). Some others I can think of: Aliens vs. Predator, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, Batman Forever, Jingle All The Way, Kindergarten Cop, Terminator: Salvation, X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

I love The Strangers while simultaneously wishing it was a better movie (it delivers big time on atmosphere but suffers from horror cliches like dumb characters).

I'll go with Josie and the Pussycats. It's actually a nice little satire on consumerism, but not something I'd ever brag about owning on DVD.

So many movies that shouldn't be guilty pleasures, but especially this:

You guys have some strange ideas about what constitutes a "guilty pleasure".

To me, a guilty pleasure is something that is just plain ridiculous, stupid, and usually badly-made, yet somehow manages to steal my heart nonetheless.

News broke today that Todd McFarlane is hard at work writing the script for a sequel to Spawn, which Nerdist called a disaster? I dunno about that I really enjoy this one...

Re: Post your favorite guilty pleasure.

Still the most blatant commercial disguised as a movie I've ever seen. But I still love it!

Re: Post your favorite guilty pleasure.

Windtalkers! The special 3 disc (!) Director's Cut dvd is one of the most watched dvds in my collection. My girlfriend rolls her eyes everytime I put this in my player. What can I say though? I like this film. I know the script is a mess, and most of the acting is hammy at best (I'm talking to you Nic Cage!). But's it's John Woo! The 4-5 major action setpieces/battles in this move floor me every time. Plus, I thought Adam Beach gave a pretty good perfomance. And The Incredible Hulk is in this too! How can you go wrong with that?

Re: Post your favorite guilty pleasure.

I unashamedly admit that DOA: Dead Or Alive is one of my favorite "guilty pleasure" movies.

Sure, So Close is better but this is still a fun way to spend 90 minutes.

Or how about the blatant marketing for the Power Glove whilst making it seem like it actually worked as advertised?

When they were going to do that sequel to the animated version, the tagline was something like "God's forgotten them. But someone else is watching." Which was kind of cool. I'm always amazed that McFarlane has the business acumen which he does, interviews with him never seem really scattershot. He doesn't really seem to talk in "businessman speak" like Jim Lee does. But then, he's rich and I'm not . I did kind of like the HBO series, shame it never got a follow-up.

You're out of luck--it was just pulled from the service.
