Try Zardoz. There is one strange move, made even stranger by Connery's participation in it!

I believe it is called war games, and starred Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy, I'm sure about matthew, not so sure about Ally. The best line is the one where the general says,

"I'd piss on a sparkplug if that would help."

I love the Last Starfighter. I like Ice Pirates, and the movie that makes me laugh the most is Barbarians, starring of course the barbarian twins. The scene where they switch weapons back and forth makes me laugh.

Space Balls is a classic, the whole my schwartz is bigger than yours schtick.

For years they showed all of the Star Wars movies on cable every Christmas Day. I don't know about you guys and gals, but that was our guilty pleasure. My entire family, Mother, Father and Sister would join together to watch it on USA. Gosh it brings back good memorys.

I'd have to go with Space Cases, a Canadian childrens show (starring our very own Jewel) being my one true guilty pleasure...and probably Vampire High too. I don't know what it is with me and cheesy childrens shows.

To anyone out there who put Stargate or The Princess Bride on their list...come on!! Stand up and loudly shout out how much you love them, there is no shame in that.

Yes! YESSSS!!! William Katt's only good role outside of "Carrie," and the only one I give a flying fig about.

He was great in the first HOUSE film.

And, while not a sci-fi, I love The Frisco Kid. I consider this a guilty pleasure because I have yet to meet someone else who even likes the movie.

Ok, I feel better now - and I don't consider it a guilty pleasure, just a pleasure. I LOVE the Frisco Kid!

But I have other bad habits

Some of you guys seem to have odd ideas of what constitutes a bad film that you would naturally feel guilty about watching (e.g. "Princess Bride"?), but never mind...someone's already mentioned Zardoz, but I have to put it down for me as a guilty pleasure. It's just so odd. I saw it first in a dubbed German version (and my German stinks), with people saying "Der Waffen ist gut!", then years later in English-- and it was barely more comprehensible in English. It does have Charlotte Rampling, however, at the height of her glory, and I'd pay money to watch that woman doing laundry . Oddly, it's one of the favorite films of my screenwriting partner, a graduate of the USC film school, no less (go figure).

I'd almost say "Barbarella" (sp?) was a guilty pleasure, but it's just on the far side of too-awful-for-words for my taste.

Oh, bugger! Now I have to wait for someone to wake up!

Oh, oh, oh-- how could I forget? The guilty pleasure that preceded Zardoz and is the source of my alias on this board-- Ralph Bakshi's "Wizards" (1977 or 1978, I think). A highly commercial animated feature that was Bakshi's practice run for his disastrous and abortive attempt at the Lord of the Rings. There's almost nothing redeeming about this piece of crap, but I've seen it maybe a half dozen times and even once owned the one-sheet. The only thing going for it is the character of Necron99, aka "Peace"-- see it and you'll understand. Plus the final punch-line from the good wizard to his brother is priceless.
