'GET TO DA CHOPPA' yeah, I like when silly action movies don't pretend to be something other than a silly action movie. Also, it's quotable as hell. Also, Fritz the Cat if only because people seem to immediately think you're a furry depsite A) not being porn B) the anthropomorphism being used for satire C) being made before the fucking Internet existed. Also, the American Pie (or at least the first 2) movies because something doesn't have to be clever to be funny.

This is the best monster movie ever by far, forget all your newfangled 'megafish' and 'giant oysters'
OT 'Jingle all the way' is probably my favourite guilty pleasure Arnie movie (he beats up a warehouse full of santas and punches a reindeer!), and you can't help but love ridiculous sci fi films like plan 9 or GI joe (They must be using the particle accelerator to weaponise their nanomachine warheads!)
The Balto sequels. I dunno why but I cannot tolerate bad live-action stuff as well as animation. Don't get me wrong, I love lolling over how bad some movies are...but they have to be Batman and Robin-level obvious. XD
Honestly, it was horrible. If they were going to use a puppet, they should have contacted the guys that made the first one, because it didn't even look right. They may as well have just gone right ahead with the CGI.necromanzer52 said:
I don't consider my thing with Disney movies to be a guilty pleasure, per se. Hmmm... I don't know, I've seen Interview With The Vampire like 200 times. Since last Summer. That might be as good as it gets for me.
While it sounds like I'm being a hipster, I don't like to say I have "guilty pleasures", just movies that I should probably know better than to like.
On topic! Deep Blue Sea and Jurassic Park 3. Both are really silly, but so boldly entertaining, I have to love them.

Hmm, I knew he was considered for the role but I didn't realise Burton was so set on him.prince_xedar said:
As for Heath Ledger, well first I'd have to make the skeptical comment that his portrayal would not have been widely lauded (largely by the non-comic-savvy media) as it was had it not been his last role - in the same way that Bella Lugosi's appearance in Plan 9 from Outer Space was immortalised by the fact he died half way through production - that's not to detract from their performance, it's just they were given an unusual emphasis.
Having said that, I prefer Ledger's Joker but only because it reflects the incarnation of the Joker I find the most appealing. There have been many incarnations of the Joker and while Nicholson catches the more 'goony' Golden Age/Silver Age villian with a nasty streak, Ledger's portrayal is more akin to the 'counter-Batman' - a Joker who defines himself and justifies his existence as the antithesis to the Dark Knight and that closeness between these two heavyweights, the Joker and the Bat, is, I find, their conflict at its most compelling.
Anyhow, I waffled on a bit there; would you say one portrayal shines through more than the other?
I feel the same with this movie. I actually like it a lot.Marter said:
A movie that would be a guilty pleasure for me is Mortal Kombat. That movie is beyond cheesy, mediocre, and the acting is just below decent...but I still love watching every minute of it.
i own Starship Troopers on Bluray. I might get 3 but i cannot stand the piece of shit that is twoCasual Shinji said:
I wouldn't say one beats the other, they both have their merits. While Nicholson's Joker is funny, and dare i say it a bit campy, i think Ledger's joker is wild and unpredictable, that you cant control him, and therefore i would say it is more loyal to the joker we see in the comics. So i personally prefer Ledger's Joker, because im a big comic book nerd. Also i prefer Nolan's Batman movies, because even though the tend to shy away from the more comic booky ideas, i could see it happening in the real world, which attracts meIndianaJonny said:
Also The Dark Knight wasnt Heath Ledger's last film, he died mid-way through the filming of The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, so they got in people like Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt to play him throughout different points in his life, Check it out.
