The 50 Most Embarassing Guilty Pleasure Movies That I Just Can't Deny (a/k/a The House that Patrick Swayze Built)

First of all, what makes up a guilty pleasure movie? There are certain films that are cliche in this genre such as 9 & 1/2 Weeks or Showgirls but I am here to tell you, that nudity isn't a prerequisite. A guilty pleasure movie is a mindless thing that we can't quite explain that makes us enjoy bad films. Not only enjoy them but...*gulp* own them. Movies that you own but don't leave in public view.

There is also a difference between a "good" guilty pleasure movie and a shamefully bad one. Good guilty pleasure is when the people making the film are in on the joke. I mean seriously, you must be aware when these films come out. Snakes on a Plane is a perfect example of "Good" bad vs. Anaconda which was Bad bad. What's the difference, you ask? Well I'll tell you.

Samual L. Jackson and everyone else involved in this picture Snakes on a Plane knew exactly how silly the whole thing was and played to that end with stupid funny dialogue. I'll bet you already know one terrifically bad line from it even if you didn't see it. The film was designed to relieve people's stress over terrorist plane attacks.

Anaconda however is about a snake so big and fake looking that we laugh at it, not with it. This is also Bad-bad because people like Ice Cube and Jennifer Lopez a) shouldn't act at all, ever. and b) thought this film would advance their careers. If these two hadn't agreed to do it, it wouldn't even have gotten made.
