Flash Gordon a guilty pleasure? What manner of insanity is this?

Sky High is also awesome. What is wrong with you people?

"Your hero flies north at 300 miles per hour for 15 minutes. His archenemy is tunneling south at 200 miles per hour for 10 minutes. Assuming your hero has X-ray vision, how long before he realizes he's going the wrong way?"

Encino Man...

Theres one I hadn't thought about in literal years! Me and a bud used to run around Jr. High spouting lines from that movie like it was the coolest thing ever.

"No wheezing the juice!"

I had no idea they renamed it California Man overseas.

"A great love is alot like a good memory. When it's there and you know it's there,but it's just out of your reach. It can be all that you think about. You can focus on it and try to force it but the more you do, the more you seem to push it away. But if you're patient and hold still...maybe...just maybe...it will come to you. I just need to be somewhere she can find me" - Church from Red vs Blue

I'm not sure you guys are grasping the nature of "guilty pleasure." It implies something that has little redeeming artistic virtue. Being a fan of, say, Three's Company or Married With Children or any one of the Shoutwives of Fill-In-The-Location. Preferring Mad Dog 20/20 over a quality pinot grigio.

WarGames was a huge hit and is a well-respected film even outside science fiction fandom. I mean, the movie's such an excellent example of character plus plot that it's taught in film schools nowadays, fer cryin' out loud. Troll 2, widely considered by many (me included) to be a contender for Worst Movie Ever Made, now *that* would be a true guilty pleasure, as it has zero redeeming qualities on any level.

War Games = good.
The Net = bad. (Or maybe I just can't stand all the stuff *wrong* with The Net. My cousin showed it to me just for the entertainment value of me tearing it apart.)

I thought it was fun. But then, I also liked The Saint.

I'd also like to add;

Meet the Feebles
Adventures in Babysitting
Cloverfield
Godzilla (I actually like the Matthew Broderick one...)
Superman 3 (if only for Richard)
Summer School
Bikini Carwash Company

(While some wouldn't consider it a 'bad' movie, being a man my age with no kids, I'd have to call this a guilty pleasure...)
Over the Hedge! I love it and Ben Folds in Tha Man!

A Better Tomorrow, Part II.

John Woo was criticized for making this over-the-top soap-operatic sequel, and he now doesn't consider it part of his oeuvre because of disagreements with the producer. In its favor, however, it has a see-saw balance between laconic cool and scenery chewing, "apologize to my rice", temporary insanity, New York City location shots obviously not approved by the mayor's office, a katana-spree in the middle of a hundred-man gunfight, and Chow Yun-Fat returning to play the role of the identical twin brother of the character who died in the first movie.
