Josie And The Pussycats is probably my guiltiest pleasure in the ''real'' world. I know a few internet denizens who like it.
But whats not to like? It's completely and unabashedly silly, it's got great lines, great looking leading ladies and really unsubtle product placement bashing.
Yah I actually think that the over-abundance of product placement is there to make a point. I mean McDonald's shower curtains???

Ok, so I know this is a fairly old thread, but I'm kinda new here, and sometimes posting gives me something to think about and write about that isn't. . . I don't know, important doesn't seem like the right word because I think pop culture in general is extremely important (only 4 things have ever changed the world, y'know: politics, religion, art, and mass hysteria), but. . . "strictly necessary at the given moment" is what I'll go with.
That said, one of my closest friends, Tall Brian, and I realized in conversation a while ago that we agreed on something that has become fundamentally important to the maintenance of our friendship through a series of life changes and moves: some movies are such horrible train wrecks, that they are almost impossible not to sit through.
I speak here of movies so shakingly, hysterically bad that I cannot but giggle at the missteps and misfortunes of the actors appearing therein and actions of the creators responsible.
Maybe they're not guilty pleasures, necessarily, but I will defend my ownership of these titles until the day I die.

The Experts, with John Travola and Arye Gross. Something about that movie makes me giggle like an idiot. Especially James Keach as the Russian pilot.
Funny thing is, whenever I confess this to other people (and this has been 3 or 4 times), inevitably they always say, "Oh I LOVE that movie--it's terrible!"
Which again makes the smoke rise to my ears to ponder the question--when does a bad movie suddenly become good when enough people enjoy its badness?

Right around the time Batman pops out his ice skates, something undead starts to dance, or Casper Van Dien shows up.

Merely random people probably recruited from the supermarket.) |

Justin's newest review reminded me how much I liked Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants when I wacthed it. So yes, that is a guilty pleasure.
Another guilty pleasure of mine would be pretty much every SNL movie, including "It's Pat!"

I actually haven't seen Troll II (sorry, that title just screams for roman numerals), but if I'm honestly talking "guilty pleasures" here, I have to say that there is a soft spot in my heart for every single Ernest movie. . . R.I.P Jim Varney.
