    The Grinch… live-action film version, right? Lol. That one escaped my mind…

    • amy says:

      @Rodrigo, oh yeah. I mean, I didn’t grow up with the animation version or the book, so I didn’t have any pre-conceived aversion towards this adaptation. I watch it every Xmas with my mother, LOL

      It’s been a while since I’ve seen a bad film that I liked, though. Probably the last one has been Spring Breakdown. I really think it’s unwarranted that it’s got less than 5 in IMDb. LOL I laughed wayyyyy more than in Bridesmaids.

    Oh man Amy, you included Spring Breakdown! I would have definitely gone with that one if I remembered. I enjoy it so much and maybe I’ve seen it twice. Totally underrated and even though it’s not a “great” movie by any means, it’s just so witty and silly that you can’t help but laugh. Plus, Wilson Phillips!

  3. Julili says:

    Lol, I think I have only one and that is “A Walk To Remember”. Yes, you may judge me.

  4. I’m so glad you picked a photo from Conquest of the Planet of the Apes for my list. that movie is so awesomely bad.

    Marya: Conguest is not a guilty pleasure! Its good for real. Its not a coincidence they are re-booting the franchice on this story!

    Damn I really need to watch all the original films before seeing the new one.

    • @Joel Burman,

      Don’t see the new one! It’s a travesty. It looks awful. I’m not going to see it because my love for the original film and my guilty pleasure love of its sequels forbid me to sully my mind.

      • Joel Burman says:

        @Cinema Fanatic, actually there is only one sequel to the original conquest. Battle of the Planet of the Apes. Even a hardcore fan like me have a real hard time with that one.

        You might be on to something with this latest remake. I just hope its better than the Tim Burton version that was really awful!

        • @Joel Burman,

          what I meant was my love for the original Planet of the Apes film (from 68) and my guilty pleasure love of its 4 sequels (which includes Conquest)

          I never watched the Tim Burton one for the same reason.

  6. Joel Burman says:

    Amy: Daredevil? Ouch… I guess that would be considered a guilty pleasure if you were into it. Is it the skin suit that gets your groove on? =)

    • amy says:

      @Joel Burman, hahaha – no (…), I like the blind visual aspect in the film. I haven’t watched it in years, possibly since my roommate and I stopped living together. xD

      I don’t see you sharing your shames, Joel. ;P

  7. CS says:

    Blue Streak
    The Fast and the Furious series (especially the latest Fast Five)
    Road House
    Gremlins 2
    Undercover Brother

    • amy says:

      @CS, what do you find in Fast and the Furios? xD Just wondering.

    • Rodrigo says:

      @CS, Linking the first FATF film wouldn’t really be a guilty pleasure film, I think. Haven’t seen Fast Five, but it’s the most critically acclaimed FATF film. The other films can be guilty pleasures, yes.

  8. Rodrigo says:

    Now that I remember that Cuba Gooding Jr. exists, I forgot to mention Rat Race here. Funny film that many could view as a shitty film, but it was entertaining for me at least.

    • amy says:

      @Rodrigo, you know what my favorite part of Rat Race was? LOL. I haven’t seen it since then, but the first time I saw it I laughed so hard when Jon Lovitz does the Hitler thing. That whole sequence of them in the Nazi museum or something, the mustache and the burning of the tongue so he speaks in pseudo-German to the veterans. LOL

  9. Camiele says:

    First of all, there are few of these that are actually GREAT movies!! Repo is AWESOME! Men in Tights… AWESOME! Dumb and Dumber… the godfather of all stupid humour! I’ll admit that I love Super Mario Bros. and that, yes, it’s one of the worst films EVER. But, come on, I think some of those on the list were kind of harsh.
