:har:

That's pretty funny.

While not a war movie.

I LOVE Bio-Dome with Pauly Shore and Stephen Baldwin.

What? I didn't say nutton! I didn't say nutton!:D

My biggest guilty pleasure movie has to be "Mommie Dearest." If it's on, I simply can NOT turn it off.

Of course it's not a war movie. Unless you count the war on wire hangers. :O:

Russian Trilogy
 

Hi

The Russian (BURNT BY THE SUN) Triolgy. Definetly a war movie with a difference. Awesome.

Best wishes from Peter (Theberbster)

:rotfl2:

Do you remember the A&E commercials with actors acting out roles from other movies, but in their homes? Lisa Kudrow did the "wire hangers" speech and woke up her new baby. "It's alright, honey. Mommie's just pretending."

Thankfully not :shifty:

Hmmmmmm....

Why in the world would you feel guilty watching one of the best historical movies ever made?

:) I guess I have not fully comprehended the term 'guilty pleasure'.

Does it perhaps mean enjoying something that is forbidden or frowned
upon?

If that's the case - then probably only 300 (2007) fits that category.:)
(although IMO this movie was/is totally underestimated - it is highly
successfull in bringing a comic book on the big screen - and it
works - at least for me).

As to Tora! Tora! Tora! - I agree. It's a great movie and the Japanese
are portrayed as human beings rather than just deliver caricatures
of evil and cruel men...

The total opposite - and an abysmal movie is Michael Bay's
Pearl Harbor (2001)...

It usually refers to something you really love and enjoy, but feel bad about loving and enjoying because it's considered "bad" by some generally accepted standard.

Enjoying "Das Boot" or some other critically acclaimed, successful, really well done movie: not a guilty pleasure.

Enjoying some cheesy, badly written, badly acted, critically panned, flop of a film despite the fact that it is all those things: that's a guilty pleasure. On paper, and by general consensus, it shouldn't give you one iota of pleasure to watch it. And yet it does, and so you do.


Now, see, if you admitted to enjoying "Pearl Harbor" despite how abysmal you know it is - that would be a guilty pleasure. :yep:

:stare: I loved Pearl Harbor. I thought it was a really good movie. I don't care what you guys think! :hmph:

I go even further than that. For me a guilty pleasure is something I think is bad but still enjoy. Check out post #17 for my concept and an example. :sunny:
