There's a director cut that is like 3 hours and some long but it does enhance the story quite a bit.
Ya I recall hearing about that, I should watch it. According to the one review on the director's cut I read, it's amazing. Must drive directors nuts when their masterpiece gets chopped up like that, especially when the chopped, released version of Kingdom of Heaven has gone down as a mediocre film. Thanks for the head's up
More of a true guilty pleasure since in all honesty Tremors is one the greatest flicks ever made would be About A Boy. I'm a sucker for any Hugh Grant RomCom really.
^^^ Goonies is also not a guilty pleasure. It's one of the best family adventure films ever made. I'm not sure people understand this category.
Well, it's relative isn't it, to what you normally enjoy? If somebody's regular viewing is Austin Power movies, then Bio-Dome wouldn't really be a guilty pleasure. If you're into heavier PT Anderson or Terrence Malick films then it would be.
Well I guess I will list Citizen Kane as my guilty pleasure. How bout The Shawshank Redemption?
Citizen Kane is considered by many to be the best film of all time, heck Shawshank might be number 2. How could that that could be called a guilty pleasure, as I was under the impression that a guilty pleasure is something you'd be embarrassed to say you enjoy. Nothing wrong with liking two of the best movies ever made.
So, "what's a film that you enjoy that you'd be embarrassed to profess your love for in the middle of a crowded bar?" is really what a guilty pleasure is, but now I see that the replies are all skewed is because the thread title and the question asked in the OP do not correlate.
My guilty pleasure is probably Parent Trap with Lindsay Lohan.
Uh, he wasn't calling them guilty pleasure movies, he was simply saying that if anyone actually considers The Warriors to be a guilty pleasure movie then they might as well consider Citizen Kane or Shawshank to be one as well.
A favorite of mine as a kid was Jane Austen's Mafia. I've never been a huge fan of spoof movies, but there are some great jokes to be had even when the movie itself is awful (much of the Scary Movie franchise also applies to this).

I realize that and that's my point. I'm trying to assist him in explaining what a guilty pleasure is by clarifying the sarcasm; those two are absolutely not guilty pleasures but like I said, the question in the OP is what confused it.
