In Reply to: Guilty Pleasures...What Are Yours ????????? posted by mikenyc on October 05, 2002 at 01:14:48:
It had not much to do with films...
There is NO guilty pleasure, ( For movie only, or do you want to go further ? )...
And everyone has the right for his own stupidity, is it not?
With age, there are lesser & lesser room for " junk food " as time tend to pass quickly, you concentrate on what in your eyes, is most important.
If I think about, I may find some...let me just find out..Hum...Maybe comedies like " French kisses " or Harry & Sally, who I still cherish....Grumpy old men..
Well, too bad I canīt offer you more...At the moment !

why one need feel "guilt" in viewing "Breaker Morant" with "pleasure?" It is a spectacular movie with more than a couple solid, even stellar, performances. This must have been a humorous insertion?
"Stellar" is certainly an appropriate description for Breaker Morant, sorry but I'm a bit of a stirrer and just wanted to see if that got any bites(!)
Agreed, it's a definite anomaly in my listing

The Limey had quite nice critics...So I bought it...One of the MOST forgetable film EVER...Too bad.
Quite a few of the characters in this film were big box office in the 70's and seeing them as "old farts" in the Limey was a bit of a hoot...
I saw it on a 'plane so at least it cost nothing; while I really didn't like the fact that so much of the story was told in flashback, otherwise I kinda liked it "somewhat guiltily" as with all of my list, those films are pretty much all fatally flawed but I like 'em anyway

Undesrtand lost somehow your heart but not your brain...Or the other way around..
I could tell the same,as the playwright and the actors...were..Terrible...For me....
My real guilty pleasure, I found out is, what I gonna look tonight is...My Fair Lady...Ah! this Audrey !
And THAT is REAL guilt. No partying tonight.
My wife is away, my friends will wait for me...
I feel terribly guilty.
