It has incredibly cheesy dialogue (all three SK movies do, but this one really does) and the ending would have any serious film connoisseur throwing up ("To family!") and of course, the highlight is Sylvester Stallone as the Toymaker. That is gold.
Big Trouble in Little China (although I guess I shouldn't feel guilty about this. Carpenter was way ahead of his time with this chop-socky adventure. Great dialogue too.)
I actually felt incredibly sad when Kong died at the end. It was heartbreaking! But what was with that 40ft robot gorilla nonsense...
It was 10 at the time, and it was shown as part of BBC2's "Monster Night". One of the programs was a Godzilla film where he fought a giant lobster, and at the end he was using the lobsters claws as castanets
mine have to be Basket Case, Brain Damage, Hell Island and the Sleepaway Camp movies.
Lol, those aren't guilty pleasures, those are genuinely good movies.
In my mind anyhow. That's like everything I loved as a kid. Plus stuff like "Silent Night, Deadly Night," "Chopping Mall" and the "Phantasm" movies. All good stuff!!

Do you know it's on TV tomorrow at 1.05pm on Channel 4? I really want to see it, just out of curiosity. But it's on at the same time as A Night At The Opera, so I'll probably give it a miss (I can only tape the channel I'm watching, unfortunately).
I'm only going to list mine one at a time, just to prolong the agony.
First guilty pleasure:
Tank Girl
I have to admit the main reason I love this movie is Lori Petty. She rocks, as far as I'm concerned. Of course having Naomi Watts as a sidekick doesn't hurt, even though the filmmakers try their best to make her unattractive. But let's face it, folks: there ain't no way to ugly up Naomi Watts.
And hey, you gotta give props to any movie that can get Ice-T to dress up as a mutant kangaroo.
And yeah, I've heard some folks say the comic book is WAY better than the movie. But you know what? I've never read the comic. So there.
The first titles to pop in my head when I saw the title were "Streets of Fire", "Sixteen Candles", and "Valley Girl". Don't ask why but if either one was on right now, I'd stop what I'm doing and watch again.
