    No one's hit on Velcros favorite yet... Big Trouble In Little China

    I would have to say that mine would be The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension or Cast a Deadly Spell... oh! Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins.

    There aren't many movies that I can come into the middle of and still enjoy every time. Bull Durham is another but that's too good a movie to feel guilty about. ;) :roll:

    I'm surprised that nobody mentioned Rumble in the Bronx or Rush Hour. Those are both really good.

    Oh, and The Big Hit.

    @Apeman: Yes, IMHO Braveheart is quite mediocre. Gibson made just a 'Me So Great' movie. Oscars haven't anything to say about quality.

    And 'Usual suspects' (if you mean the one with Kevin Spacey) is IMHO another masterpiece which should have nothing to do with this thread.

    Puh, I frequently watch 'Waterworld', I can't believe they air it as much as they do here in Holland.

    Well, I like the first one but I don't feel that it qualifies as a guilty pleasure. Battle Creek Brawl (A.K.A. The Big Brawl) on the other hand is a Jackie Chan guilty pleasure that I really enjoy. :)

    Fight Club
    No Escape (Despite the poor acting on the part of the main character the antagonist more than makes up for this)

    Other movies I would watch if they were ever on TV (don't have sky) would include 13th warrior and probably Face Off. Only seen them once and would watch them again and again.
