Why do so many people feel GUILTY about Young Sherlock Holmes?

Methinks it is considered fairly crappy by the movie-going public at large, David...and I think I remember it being pounded by the critics.
I love the damned thing, myself.
[These movies fall under the category of 'everyone thinks they're crap, but I still like it']
Ha,ha - I put it down because I remember everyone leaving the living room or falling asleep halfway into the movie. I liked it though.
I would think a "guilty pleasure" should be, "yeah, I KNOW it's really bad, but I love watching it."
But there's nothing to feel guilty over for YSH. It's just a good movie.

Yeah...what was so bad about Young Sherlock Holmes? Granted, I was 13 when I saw it, and haven't seen it since, but I recall enjoying it. Same with Cloak & Dagger.
Mr. Destiny...that takes me back (Michael Caine, is there any film you'll say no to?)
Weird Science...nice
Man, I detest Heavy Metal. The animation...the music....yet I keep watching it.
Would any of the following qualify?
King Ralph
Happy Gilmore
Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead
The Adventures of Ford Fairlane (got a craving all of a sudden)
Miami Blues
The Golden Child

If you hate Heavy Metal, you probably shouldn't watch Titan A.E.

I actually saw The Heavenly Kid in the theater.
I'll never forget that because I went to go see it with my sisters the week that it opened - and we were the only ones in the theater.
That's the only time that's ever happened to me.

I'm shocked nobody has commented on David's "Spice World" confession yet. there's no Girl Power or Spice Up Your Life references. And no Spice Girls poster with David photoshopped into it. Seriously, are we going to let him off that easy?

I think because this is a "guilty pleasures" thread...its more like a support group.
They don't laugh at you at AA when you stand up and say "I'm an alcoholic"

I had no desire to watch the Spice Girls. I used to live underneath a bunch of kids, who were up at dawn bouncing to Tell Me What You Want at full volume.

You mean we can't make fun of people in here? Well screw this, I'm going back to the Cafe!

Yeah...those people can be so uptight. They should relax more...maybe have a drink.
Kidding.
As for Titan AE, I think I did see it. It wasn't that bad.

The Spice Girls definatley are a guilty pleasure and no shame in it !
Spice World is worth it for the random cameos alone. But as a whole, it's deliciously awful.

If "deliciously awful" is our criteria...then my #1 guilty pleasure is most definitely...
The Star Wars Holiday Special.
Oh yeah!

The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Wizards. When I was a teenager, I went to midnight showings of that instead of Rocky Horror.
