Ha! I'm with you about the guilty pleasure of HEIST movies! I love The Sting, too! My ofhter faves are HORROR!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have a guilty pleasure in a specific genre - but it depends on my mood. lol
ReplyDeleteLegally Blonde - seen it a million times I'm sure same with the Matrix. lol (to which I've also seen the making of and extras about 1/2 as many times as I've watched the movie.) teehee - oh girls just wanna have fun!
Ahh chick flicks, romantic comedies... period movies..my kids call them cornpone.. a mommy movie..
ReplyDeleteI am a romantic at heart and love happy ever after...
Mine has got to be those cheesy dance/romance movies from the 70s & 80s. It all started with dirty dancing. It's so funny to watch something that is supposed to be set in the early 60s but was made in the 80s. They just couldn't escape that awful 80s aesthetic!
ReplyDeleteThen I found saturday night fever, which actually is one of my favorite movies- it's a story of class struggle and touches on issues such as racism. And then there is flashdance... ahh... I could go on...yep! great movies!
HA! I love Horror movies, too, but only if someone else is home with me! I'm such a suck.
ReplyDeleteI've also been known to watch old musicals thousands of times.
:,)
love it! you nicies make me laugh out loud!
ReplyDeletethanks for playing!
I love B-movies! Everything from 70s karate to 50s sci-fi and horror. I suppose I'm easily entertained ;)
ReplyDeleteAren't most movies really guilty pleasures? *lol* I'm always at a loss when I have to pick - a testosterone-filled action flick or a cheesy romance? Depends on whether the Mr. is with me or not! ;)
ReplyDeleteahem - Bond movies. I love it when he get the girl...
