Are guilty pleasures films you know are kinda bad but watch them? Most of my fave films everyone else thinks are bad-so I won't do a guilty pleasures list- also, alot of the films you've listed I used to like alot when I was very young, very few carry over to when I'm older-but Little Shop and Beetlejuice are two films I liked then and now.

Favourites:
Shock Treatment
Little Shop of Horrors
Beetlejuice
The Coneheads (kinda guilty pleasure-haven't watched in ages)
Ferris Bueller (well-it gets old after a wild though)
Spinal Tap
Clue (everyone must see Clue!)
The Blues Brothers
Earth Girls Are Easy
Fame
Flowers in the Attic
The Meaning of Life
Nightmare on Elm Street
Beaches (I won't admit to watching it)
Ruthless People
Down and Out in Beverly Hills

Films I can't sit through anymore:
Roger Rabbit (used to be a favourite, I hate it now)
Beverly Hills Cop! And it's sequels!
Uncle Buck (don't ask-I dunno why!)

I can't really watch Willow now(any film my sister liked before me I kinda blacklist-this was one of them) though it's ok- the Goonie's was good- but I've seen it like 50 times now.

Howard the Duck used to be a favourite of mine-I can't really watch it now, it's kinda boring.
But Shock Treatment was the best thing from the 80's (and Bette Midlers comedy's- thank god Bette's back into comedy!)
