Guilty pleasures of the 1950's
I think most of the people on this board have a list of films that are not quite good, but for various reasons, hold a special place in the viewer's required viewing. The list I am posting concerns...

Ed had heart. You can't fault him for that. I think they were both there for each other at a time when they both needed it.

Maybe it was money talking. I don't know much about that stuff,but if he's charge of his Dad's estate,maybe he got something out of it. Or maybe not. Like I said I don't know about that aspect of...

There are definitely two viewpoints here. (1) Ed Wood was Bela's friend and saviour. Thank God for Ed. (2) Ed Wood was a self-serving leech who 'used' Lugosi to further his own career. Damn the...

I'd like to think that if Bela had lived longer,then maybe his appearances in Wood's movies may have lead to resurgence in his career. I don't think it would of been a big resurgance,but maybe some...

See,I learn something new everyday. I did not know that Lugosi was married during that time frame. I think the whole "joke thing" about Plan 9 is more from people who don't even like these movies who...

My guilty pleasure of the 1950's was my first real introduction to Science Fiction. And that would be Commando Cody Sky Marshal of the Universe. In this case it's George Wallace playing the first...

Was there ever a guiltier pleasure than THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE? This movie is the epitomie of sleaze, with Jason Evers trying to find some strippers body to attach to his girlfiends head. I...

For me its gotta be Peter Graves in BEGINNING OF THE END, IT CONQUERED THE WORLD & KILLERS FROM SPACE.

Brain is a guilty pleasure. It's cheezy sleaze all the way. From the title on,it's so preposterous,it's fun. But my all time guiltiest pleasure is Bride Of The Monster. For all the criticism,even by...

I really enjoy BOTM too. After PLAN 9 I'd say it's Woods most watchable movie.

Come to think of it,another Wood movie that's a guilty pleasure of mine is SINISTER URGE. It's pretty sleazy too. Ed blames everything on the "smut picture racket". That sounds so Ed Wood,it's worth...

How about 1956 "The Werewolf", 1957 "The Vampire" or 1958 "Monster on the Campus" - I watch each of these at least 3 times each year and can never get enough of them!!

Avididid98, I watch those for pleasure too, and I don't feel the slightest bit of guilt about it.

I don't know if I'd put The Werewolf as a guilty pleasure cause it really is a good movie all around and is regarded by genre fans as such. To me the definition of "guilty pleasure" is a movie that...

FRANKENSTEIN'S DAUGHTER has got to be my #1. I just love it. It's got two monsters in it (both looking very different), and that delicious Sally Todd who had a bod when women were women. You've got...
