Film guilty pleasures.

Alright, what are they, everyone has atleast one guilty pleasure, a film they know is crap for whatever reason but they enjoy anyway.

The list of mine are as follows:
Conan (both films).
Street Fighter: The movie (if only for Raul Julia chewing the scenery).
Labyrinth (You remind me of the babe).
Johnny Mnemonic (it's hideously dumb but I actually watched it during a Bad Movieathon with friend and after House of the dead 1 and 2, Blood Rayne 1 and 2 it actually got cries of 'oh my god, emotion!' from us which was so sorely lacking in the Uwe Bolle films, not from Keanu Reeves but from the supporting cast).
Daredevil: Directors Cut (It isn't a bad movie, it's not great but it isn't bad either).
Rocky IV ("I cannot beat him, he is like iron").

So come on, get it out in the open, you feel better once you get these secrets off your chest.

Daredevil:- Directors' cut is twice the film the Theatrical release is. And the ending makes sense in the Directors' cut!

Gah I suppose Flash Gordon is technically a bad film.

Alright fine, I'll stick it with my guilty pleasure even if I do own 2 copies of it on DVD (one regular edition and one 20th anniversery edition with BRAIN BLESSED! doing audio commentary).

I neither consider these "bad" movies, nor do I feel guilty about liking them.

I'm honestly surprised at some of these picks.

Like Bill and Ted 1 and 2, those are really considered bad movies? Since when? They're awesome. It's the only role that Keanu Reeves has ever been perfect for.

Flash Gordon is just amazingly intentional camp, perhaps it's because the film was massively more successful here in England (considering it has BRIAN BLESSED, Richard O'Brien and Max Von Sydow which are considered national treasures by most Brits over the age of 30 OR geeky younger ones) and had a soundtrack by two greats of the 80's Queen and Vince Dicola (who penned the scores for Rocky IV and the original Transformers movie to name a few).

Shoot'em up I just saw as a really good parody of the modern action film.

Edit:
Also Clint Eastwood Spaghetti westerns, those are some of the best examples of the genre, especially ones like Pale rider and the ever classic The Good, the bad and the ugly (where the main hero isn't really that heroic and the villain is a magnificent [censored]).

I included the Short Circuits and Bill and Ted movies because I've been told by others that they are teh suck.

Personally I never saw them as being 'bad' per se. But when trying to get the newer generation into them, I always end up hearing how boring and lousy they are.

Wow, fastest list fail ever. Listing Conan the Barbarian as a crap film/guilty pleasure is wrong on every level.

The second one, sure, but Conan the Barbarian is pure distilled awesome.
