Which people would be afraid of admitting they like because they are so bad that they would invite the scorn of others because of their appreciation of those films.
: Seems to me, if the person posting it feels silly or guilty for enjoying the movie as much as they do, then it's *their* guilty pleasure. So all the "That's not a guilty pleasure!" responses are just people defending movies they like from other people who also like them.
: That said, my biggest guilty pleasure is "Big Man on Campus".
: But "Kissing A Fool" and "The Hudsucker Proxy" are movies I really like despite a lot of flaws. Then there are movies like "Ishtar" which I thoroughly enjoy but don't feel guilty about. [And I love "UHF" despite almost uniformly bad acting and a lot of bad writing, along with invisible direction ... so I guess that's a guilty pleasure too.]
