So, say a "guy" had a copy of a certain movie hidden in his office. Black case.... so, when no other subsimmers are around, this guy sneaks out his black case edition of.....say.... "Crash Dive" ...and pops it in the dvd player and thoughly enjoys the movie, never, ever, skipping ANY scenes. That is a guilty pleasure movie.

Here's an example: The Outlaw Josey Wales is most definitely not a guilty pleasure, being in my belief one of the best movies Clint Eastwood ever did. On the other hand I have The Beguiled in my collection. I like it because it's the only movie I can think of in which Clint played the bad guy, and the only one I can think of where he dies at the end, and deservedly so. That aside, it is generally considered an awful movie, and deep inside I agree, but I like it and I watch it. That is a Guilty Pleasure.

K-19 is not a bad movie. I liked it. I have certainly seen better, but it is hardly bad enough to qualify for guilty pleasure. For me, it is definitely U-571.

Okay...corrected but for what it is worth, I've been told I've seen those movies too much = guilty...thing??? Maybe its my Baptist upbringing?
Anyhow. Ditto on the Joesy Wales, as I will always stop on that gem. Also High Plains Drifter as you can't beat a horror/western ("this place looks like hell,"). Okay. How about Fifth Element? Love that bastard. Shoot. I've derailed the snot out of this. Sorry. |

I still think that nobody has more guilt than a good Catholic. I'm Catholic and it seems like they are always trying to stick me with something bad I've done. (Not trying to insult anyone...it's just how i see it sometimes)

You don't know many Jews, do you? There's a reason that "Jewish Mother" is a code word for "guilt maker".

They created guilt.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_mother_stereotype "Why can't you be more like your brother?" "My son, The Doctor." Well, we haven't derailed it too far, since we're still talking about guilt. And there haven't been too many new postings about movies. Still... Since I mentioned some non-war movies, I'll continue. Enchanted. Juno. (500 Days Of) Summer. All good movies in their own way, but none of them meant to be enjoyed by a single 60-year-old man. And I own all three. Hence, Guilty Pleasure. Oh, I also like the first Hulk and both Fantastic Four movies. So there. Oh, and Crash Dive? I said right off the bat in my thread about it that my whole "Best submarine movie ever" schtick was a joke, and I bought it sight unseen, and the only thing I really wanted to show was the color footage of early Elco 77-foot boats and S-Boats, so Platapus can shut right up and go back to sleep. Seriously. I mean it.

Juno is a pretty good film. I wouldn't consider that guilty pleasure material.

Oh I agree. I got free tickets for a sneak preview, and felt pretty odd with two middle-aged guys sitting in a theater full of teenagers.
