I have no guilty pleasures. There is no reason for feeling guilty about something you genuinely enjoy.
THAT SAID the film I enjoy most that I suppose some might list as a guilty pleasure would have to be xXx (the Vin Diesel movie from 2002, not, uh, the other thing you might associate with those three letters with), which just might be the most gorgeously, arrogantly, wrongheadedly dated movie ever made. I'm not kidding -- I can't think of anything else I've seen that tries this desperately to seem like the coolest thing ever. Just watching the first half-hour should give you an idea -- a James Bond stand-in gets gunned down in the middle of a fucking Rammstein concert, followed by Vin Diesel ramping a Republican senator's sports car off a bridge because he's apparently some sort of pre-YouTube viral sensation. It's spectacular.
