I really think you misunderstood the idea behind "guilty pleasure". As CC said, it's something you'd be embarrassed to be caught watching. For instance, riding a moped might be a guilty pleasure, or Big Bertha.

I was going to say the same thing. @timb2 you have some quality movies in that list. I know I have some guilty pleasures to add to the list, I just can't think of them at the moment. I'll have to ask the wife who comes in incredulous sometimes with something I'm watching again.

In no particular order, Adventures In Babysitting - I love Elisabeth Shue.
Remember The Titans
Forrest Gump

Adventures in Babysitting was hilarious! The little girl who wanted to be Thor was great! I feel like I should know who she was.

Okay, so I just looked her up. Her name is Maria Brewton. I expected her to grow up to be very cute. That was an erroneous assumption.

Her name is Maia Brewton. She was also in Back To The Future.

It's hard to believe it's been 33 years since that movie came out.

My favorite scene in Adventures In Babysitting is when they are being chased by the bad guys and they wander into a blues bar.

That was a good scene.

You've got some big movies in your guilty pleasures, the only one I would shame you for is The Parent Trap. Yep, afraid I'd have to rag on you for a while for that one. Maybe even show up at your wedding and when they ask for anyone to speak why they should not be wed, I'd just have to step up "Me, preach, I happen to know morasp not only watched The Parent Trap but liked it and like to (hush would fall over the crowd) watch it alone!!!!

Guilty pleasure indicates something you like but shouldn't. Naming all time great movies that everyone likes isn't a guilty pleasure.

To give ol' CC something more to rag on, here's mine: The Cutting Edge

Horrible movie complete w/ bad acting and predictable story line, very sappy.

Yep, here's the way I would make it a guilty pleasure.

Say you're watching it alone, which would be likely, and someone close to you walks into the room. Do you A) scramble to switch it to something like The Weather Channel or B) ask them what you are watching as this was on when you sat down or C) keep watching and try to ignore them, especially any comments about what you are watching.

If you answered C, it is not a guilty pleasure because guilty doesn't like getting caught. Guilty likes to be alone and preferably in the dark.

I actually kinda liked that one too, but probably because it was the least obnoxious of my ex's chick flicks. "Toe pick!"

DB can't act his way out of a wet paper sack, and that makes it even more charming!!!

 

[kskboys]

Naming anything w/ Clint Eastwood in it makes that movie not even eligible for guilty pleasure!!!

Here's another. I love to watch: The Sound of Music.
