Kickboxing movies. I admit it online, but you'll never see me admit it offline.

As for movies I own that I'm not proud to admit... they're not all 'pleasures' exactly, but almost any DVD I buy used. I like my collection to have only New in it and then I'm picky about what I add because I only want decent movies. So, I only buy used movies for research.
That list includes Wishmaster, obviously.
I keep Leprechaun 4 around because I was young when I first saw it and I liked it back then only for the damn, freaking, smoking hot guys, all of whom end up with their shirts off.
I have a copy of Children of the Corn 6 and I call that a Guilty own, just because I don't have the rest on DVD. Same with Halloween 6- the theatrical / studio cut.
I don't like him as a comedian, but I have a Chris Farley SNL "Best of" DVD, which I bought for $5 in hopes that that would have the "LAY OFF ME, I'M STARVING!!" skit in it's full duration. But... it didn't. I only keep it around now, and this is worthy of guilt, because of the skit where the waiter tells him he's drinking the wrong kind of coffee and goes ballistic, demolishing the restaurant like Godzilla in Tokyo. I love chaos-comedy.

One guilty pleasure of mine that jumps to mind is The Banger Sisters. Not necessarily a chick flick, but it was probably designed to appeal much more to the fairer sex than to men. That, and I see it air on the WE channel quite a bit. I gave it a chance because I'm a fan of Goldie Hawn, but grew to really like it simply because her character is such a bastard! I can definitely identify my personality with her character, Suzette. Also, Geoffrey Rush's character (Harold?) is one of the most hilarious portrayals of an O.C.D. germo-phobe I've ever seen. Always makes me laugh. Finally, I like the movie's message of the importance of finding balance in your personality as an adult. It makes the statement that one must try to find a happy medium between remaining young at heart and becoming responsible and organized.

Offline, I would never ever EVER admit that I own and like High School Musical, because normally I absolutely detest the new Disney channel slop for tweenagers. Same goes for such teen movies as She's The Man, What A Girl Wants, and John Tucker Must Die Also, I think I'm the only person on the planet who liked the remake of The Stepford Wives. Gigantic plot hole aside, it's funny ;D

Chuck is always great. Invasion USA is probably my favorite of his. Pretty much everything Golan-Globus was involved with was fun.
Gymkata is a guilty pleasure for me. Now that it's on DVD, soon I'm planning to add it to my collection. To be honest I think my collection is one big, guilty pleasure for the most part.

Gigantic plot hole aside, it's funny ;D I enjoyed John Tucker Must Die as well, but it was mostly because it had Brittany Snow and Jenny McCarthy in it (yowzers! ). Also, you're not alone in liking The Stepford Wives remake. I also found it to be quite funny. - Oh yeah, and tsmooth and lowkey, my favorite Chuck Norris role was his work in the Total Gym infomercials. Hard to find anything funnier than that on tv @ 3 AM!

Also, I think I'm the only person on the planet who liked the remake of The Stepford Wives. Gigantic plot hole aside, it's funny ;D Wow... that is something to feel guilty about. ;D Speaking of Jenny McCarthy... I loved that romantic comedy with her and her lesser co-stars who do all those huge TV shows, The Perfect You. I wouldn't call it a guilty pleasure, but when most people dog romantic comedies, this is usually the sort of movie they're refering to. I might not be so fast to admit liking it... but I'll be I'll be fairly safe- who would mention it? Now, this one isn't any kind of pleasure... But I should definitely feel guilty about buying it, keeping it, and having spent $8.6? on it... Vibrations with Christina Applegate. I was such a fan of hers from Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead, and saw the trailer for Vib on some VHS and remembered the movie all the years leading up to it's coming out on DVD. I waited until it was kinda cheap and bought it- just because it wasn't widescreen and didn't come with any bonus features... Well, it was terrible. But I keep it just because she's in it. And I keep it right next to Monkeybone and Boomerang- in the section of non-horror movies I'm not proud to admit I own but that I keep around for either inspiration, research, or because I still find at least 1 moment to be fairly amusing. And... these are definitely guilty owns, but I actually take pleasure in them, all the way- Alicia Silverstone's erotic thrillers. I'm still psychotic for anything she's in. But I have a copy of The Crush on DVD, and am looking to upgrade my VHS's of True Crime and The Babysitter onto DVD someday. That's how much I like watching her run around in suspense situations. The only one of her thrillers I don't own yet is Hideaway. Which I haven't seen yet. Probably because she's not the main star.

Those Chuck Norris jokes are stupid! No offense to anyone who disagrees. But seriously... anyone who has that many jokes to make themselves look cool is a loser.

That's what makes the jokes funny though. He doesn't seem to get that people are laughing at him, and not with him. The jokes are getting kind of old though and besides George Washinton could kick his ass: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsymvcqVc1s

^^^ At this point, I'm thinking his Total Gym costar Christie Brinkley could probably kick his ass. ;D

I don't think you can sue people over jokes.

You're right, Laz, you can't thanks to Mr. Larry Flynt and his infamous Jerry Falwell ad. Kudos on a job well done Mr. Flynt!

You may not be able to get a judgement in your favor, but if you have the money you can sue. It's like they say in Hollywood, there's no such thing as bad publicity.
