The third film to star Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor was generally panned when it hit theaters in 1989. However, for a kid who saw this in theaters, the comedy featuring Wilder as deaf and Pryor as blind, thrown together as an odd couple both mistaken for killers and hunted by both the police (Alan North and Louis Giambalvo) and real killers (Joan Severance and Kevin Spacey) for an invaluable coin they don’t even know they posses falls squarely into the guilty pleasure category.

Guilty Pleasure – Haunted Honeymoon

Feeling somewhat lost to time, 1986’s Haunted Honeymoon, directed and co-written by Gene Wilder, was an attempt at a comedy-chiller that teased fantastical elements for both Wilder and his wife Gilda Radner.

A disaster so complete it would torpedo the franchise which would wait nearly 40 years for another live-action adaptation, 1987’s Masters of the Universe is a mess of a film that does provide some guilty pleasure vibes in how nearly everyone involved in the enterprise completely misunderstood the assignment. Based on the 80s toy line, and largely ignoring the popular animated series, the film takes He-Man (Dolph Lundgren), Man-At-Arms (Jon Cypher), Teela (Chelsea Field), and Gwildor (Billy Barty) as the first of many substitute characters never seen before, to small town America.

Giving off strong Disney Channel TV-movie vibes, 2004’s D.E.B.S. offers a campy teen spy story most notable for its central Romeo and Juliet star-crossed lovers romance being set between two young women on opposite sides of the law. Sara Foster stars as Amy Bradshaw, the star pupil at the clandestine academy for young women (recruited from secret SAT questions designed to uncover those with the aptitude for espionage) training them in Discipline, Energy, Beauty, and Strength.

Released 40 years ago, Spies Like Us stars Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd as a pair of governmental screw-ups turned would-be spies. Needing decoys for a top secret project, the Defense Intelligence Agency rush the pair through training and thrown into the field with the belief that they will take focus off the real team deployed into the Soviet Union (with the mission to fire a ICBM at the United States). Of course the running gag of the movie is that the pair manage to somehow keep getting out of trouble and by the end the fate of the entire world will rest in their hands.
