The Guilty Pleasures you savor

“Popeye,” with Robin Williams in the title role and directed by Robert Altman. Great dialogue and characterizations. And who could forget those sweet Harry Nilsson songs? -Roger
“Death Race 2000.” My favorite scene: when a government bureaucrat tells Machine Gun Perturbo (Sly Stallone) "I happen to hold the power of life and death," Perturbo says, "Well, I happen to hold the clam dip," and slings a handful of said dip onto the bureaucrat. -Andrew, Huntsville, Ala.
“Bram Stoker's Dracula” is by far my most guilty pleasure. ... Everybody looks like they would rather be somewhere, or someone else. Keanu Reeves is desperate for a surfboard, Cary Elwes really needs his princess bride. As for Gary Oldman and Wynona Rider; they're like Romeo and Juliet for the Goths. Is this what Stoker had in mind? I think not. -Kate, Ridgecrest, Calif.
“Rock Star,” with Mark Wahlberg and Jennifer Aniston. It's cheesy, but funny almost knowing that it's bad. My spouse and I watch it whenever it's on cable AND we own it. Sad but true. Our friends make fun of us for it but we never tire of this movie as it tries so hard to be serious but who can be serious with big rock hair and tight leather pants?! -Vicky, Woodbridge, Va.
Shannon Tweed movies — for the same reason as Steven Seagal movies only with a lot more sexiness. -Ro, Cleveland, Ohio
“Remo Williams: the Adventure Begins.” Half-James Bond, Half-Karate Kid — Remo Williams is America's Secret Weapon against evil ... oh, the heck with it! It's 90 minutes of fistfights, daring escapes, martial artistry and male bonding. Fred Ward, best known for his role in ... well, he's been in a lot of movies ... plays a former cop being trained by Joel Grey's Chiun — a Korean Master of Shinanju, or something like that. The acting is passable, the story line impossible to follow, and the plot ever so plotty — but it's a rollicking good time. Wait'll you see how Remo disposes of the bad guy with the diamond encrusted tooth! It's classic guilt at its pleasurable best. 1980s cheese doesn't get any better. -Gary-O, Murfreesboro, Tenn.
Hammer Horror Films — they're bloody and melodramatic, the women all wear 60's eyeliner and have beehives even though it's supposed to be the 19th century, Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing rock, and the Technicolor is delicious. -Kris, Denver, Colo.
"Mommie Dearest." Do you have to ask why? -Kurt, Baltimore, Md.
