Re: Guilty pleasure movies.

Postal was pretty great, in an awful way.

Re: Guilty pleasure movies.

So by liking both Postal & Blankman I ... win?

If this is winning, why do I feel so dirty?

Re: Guilty pleasure movies.

You're supposed to feel guilty, but dirty is close enough.

Conan the Barbarian.

Whenever I'm sick or upset, I get a pint of ice cream, cover myself with a blanket, and cry at all the sad parts.

This. And Kickboxer. And Double Impact. And Death Warrant.  And almost all of Van Damme's early stuff, though Cyborg is beyond bad.

And Kickboxer! I love 80s soundtracks and these two are classics.

Bad Taste, and Blankman.

I am so deeply ashamed.

Why would you be ashamed? Bad Taste is 18 tons of awesome! Also, if not for Bad Taste we may never have had The Lord of the Rings Trilogy as we know them now.

As far as guilty pleasure movies, for some reason I enjoy Teenage Caveman. It is a terrible movie that doesn't make much sense but it does have lots of boobs and teenagers that explode after having sex. I've seen it at least 5 times. I recommend you avoid it.
