Schlock!
John Landis' first movie. Made with no money whatsooever. And utterly side-splittingly hilarious.

Oh, and on the subject of guilty movie pleasures...

Godzilla - yes, the big-budget american remake. It is what it says on the tin. It's a low-brow popcorn movie. And it's great fun.

And as for very guilty movie pleasures...

Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

Say what you want about Russ Meyer's ethics, but he was one hell of a movie maker. Framing, pacing and editing were artful in the extreme. And, being brutally honest, his movies do appeal on a very basic, lowbrow, almost hypnotic level.

What the hell - I just love trash cinema!

Whats wrong with Mary Poppins? It's not bad or a B movie, It's one of the greatest movies ever and I am going to find Marry Poppins and make her my wife.
Yes the tick rocked.

The first 3 were great, but the 4th... rubbish, I hate to say it but, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls!


Really? The second film was great was it? Temple of doom, short round and that woman? The way I see it, the fourth wasn't bad because Spielberg lost it. It was bad because it didn't follow the formula for a good Indiana Jones film, religious relics and Nazis, that's what works.

There are a few great but unrecognised B movies that have yet to be mentioned.

Darkstar,
I loved this film partly for the long seventies hair, astronauts would obviously have, partly for the inflatable ball alien that bused but mainly for bomb twenty, ever tried to discuss philosophy with a bomb that's about to explode?

Suburban commando,
Hulk Hogan, space warrior trapped in suburbia. Need I say more?

Darkman, Sam Raimi always wanted to do a Batman, and The shadow movie but instead came up with this. A psychotic superhero who can look like anyone on a murderous revenge mission against the mob. As with most of his horror based films it attempts to combine scary moments with funny moments and sort of pulls it off.

Batman staring Adam west. They knew what they were doing by the way. Most people forgot how dreadful some of the batman comics could be in the sixties. 'Robin lower the Bat-Ladder.'

Invoke not reason. In the end it is too small a deity.
