Guilty Pleasures

*** Spoilers abound***

Jason X -- I always have a blast watching it. This movie was largely ignored when it came out. Here's why I love it:

Cheesetastic dialouge? Check. ("He's screwed."; "This sucks on so many levels!")
Ridiculous setting? Check. (Spaceship in the future.)
Half naked pretty people? Check. (And they are student scientists to boot.)
Couple fornicating? Check. (It wouldn't be a Jason movie without this.)
Lots of kills? Check. (Everyone dies, save two people.)
Creative kills? Check. (I love the chick who's face gets frozen and then smashed onto the counter.)
Nod to previous Jason films? Check. (The Crystal Lake halogram scene is absolutely hilarious.)
Nods to other films? Check. (Leather clad, ass kicking fembot? Combo of Trinity and Ellen Ripley. The greedy scientist and military crew are straight out of Aliens.)
Uber-Jason? Check. (I like the concept of upgrading Jason, but his look turned me off because it reminded me of the bad guy in The Mask.)

Hope you didn't watch it on Sci-Fi last night. Good grief, they cut it so bad it was a totally different movie.

I did watch the Sci-Fi version last night, but I've seen this movie several times. The first was the best because I was in a movie theater that was empty except for Tracy Morgan, who preceeded to scream out the funniest comments when people did stupid shit during the movie. Of course, the whol emovie was people doing stupid shit so I had a great time.

Also, people should use this thread to add their own guilty pleasures.

The 90s remake of island of Doc. Moreau!

I´m probably the only person on this who likes this film, it´s such a supreme piece of cheese.
People say that Marlon Brando is one of the worlds greatest actors, yet this is the only film with him in it that i can appreciate, never really cared for Godfather and his other films.
Stan Winston did a fantastic job on all the films creature effects.
And it´s got Mini Me in it.

You want a reason? It's really fun to make fun of while drunk.

I'll add another.......................Jack Frost 2: Return of the Mutant Killer Snowman. Everyone should see that movie at least once. I laughed so hard that my mouth and stomach hurt for three hours.

Also, Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires

Ha. I couldn't believe I went through 25 years of my life (including growing up in the cheesy sci-fi heavy '80s) without ever hearing about Lifeforce. What a great bad film.

Tank Girl is easily my favourite guilty pleasure. Most can't stand it, I can sit through it time and again. It make me happy.

Looks like Chronicles of Riddick has to be put into this category too. It was fun, and pretty to look at.

John Carpenter's Vampires and From Dusk Til Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money. Cheesy vampire westerns.

The Black Hole and Star Trek 3. Films using vector graphics kick ass.


Battlefield Earth. Okay, maybe not. Is their anyone willing to open up and admit a guilty pleasure to this one?

Got to go with the undead soul brother...

Scream, Blacula, Scream.

Just hearing William Marshall over emote "AH NEEHEEHEED YOU!" to Pam Grier makes it worth it.

Have to say, I think JAWS 2 and HALLOWEEN 3 are genuinely enjoyable movies...

I would definitely call Halloween 3 a guilty pleasure, but not Jaws 2. Why? Because I don't feel guilty for liking it. It pales in comparison to the original, but it's still a pretty good sequel. Now Jaws 3 is definitely a guilty pleasure.

But anyone who likes Jaws: The Revenge should be shot.

Ditto. Also, I've watched my share of the Chucky movies (at least the first few). But the recent ones with Jennifer Tilly make me very sad. Who pays to see those in the theater?

Not me....................


I saw it for free! I don't care how cheesy it may or may not be, they need to ditch the family crap in that series and get back to the feel of the first two.

Guilty Pleasures? Well I don't know who wouldn't feel guilty watching these.

Joel Reed's classic "Blood Sucking Freaks", how many movies can you name that features brains being sucked through a straw.

"Night Of The Bloody Apes"

The Andy Milligan classic "The Rats Are Coming! The Werewolves Are Here!"

The classic movie that starred Lon Chaney, J. Carrol Nash, Russ Tamblyn, and Jim Davis "Dracula Vs. Frankenstein" How can you beat Dracula with a fro!?!? And a ring that shots deadly rays?!?!

The first monster musical "The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living And Became Mixed-Up Zombies" filmed in Terrorama.

And last but not least, filmed in "RegularScope" and Black and White, the superhero classic "Rat Pfink and Boo Boo!"

You can't get much more gulity than that.

Deep Rising and Torque.
(Plus many others mentioned above.)

I refused to watch Torque for quite a while on moral grounds. Little did I know it was the second coming.

I've always liked Deep rising...

Hells yeah~

(edited to say that I just realized this was Creature Corner... clicked from the main page and didn't notice... so perhaps Torque doesn't fit... but go rent it anyway, or better yet, buy it!)

Jason X is not a guilty pleasure.....it's just a pleasure.

For me, Halloween 4-6 are my guilty pleasures, especially the Producer's Cut of H6.

I completely concur. Sorry, but Friday the 13th was never that great to begin with outside of the kills and this was the only one that put it's tongue in the right cheek. It's the most fun to watch.

I can feel the love for Jason X. It's really enjoyable once you remember that the movie isn't trying to be an Alien/Jason I hybrid, but rather a Spaceballs/Jason takes Manhatten hybrid....Jason out of his element and spoofing on his own genre.

I wait until everyone's asleep to watch it though....and also these;
Sasquatch
The headless eyes
The X-Files movie (I guess like Pee Wee's Playhouse, you can't always expect to take a great weekly show and stretch it into a great movie)
Valley of the gwangi

Someone mention The Stuff...I feel guilty just thinking about renting that one again, but of course I will next time I see a copy
