Guilty Pleasures

I think this site would be more fun if we could all nominate/add items to the list.

I'd suggest the move The Hunger for this particular list. I've never seen any review of the movie that wasn't completely negative, beginning to end ... and yet it's a very emotionally compelling, evocative film. It's viewed as a complete shlock by the critics ... just a collection of gratuitous scenes of sex and violence.

One (among many) interesting aspects of the film -- the song they play in the opening scene is Bella Lugosi's Dead, by the 80's alternative band Bauhaus. The rest of the soundtrack is all classical music ... and yet, the music all seems to fit together seemlessly.
