15 Biggest Guilty Pleasure Movies Of 2018

10. The Meg

There are countless things wrong with this movie. It's got a gore-less PG-13 rating, it's about 20 minutes too long and it basically feels like a SyFy movie that had a few extra zeros slapped on its budget sheet by accident.

And yet, watched with a couple of drinks and a couple of pals, The Meg is an easy charmer, largely thanks to Jason Statham's wink-wink performance, the agreeably chintzy visual effects and knowingly craptastic plot and characters. But it's mainly because of the booze.

Self-aware schlock usually doesn't work because it ends up feeling cynically calculated - case in point, the Sharknado movies - but this shockingly successful B-flick delicately rides the line and comes out on top.

If you need a palate cleanser after watching a super-serious art-house film, this is perfect.

"Best" Moment: In a last ditch effort to defeat the prehistoric titular shark, Jonas (Statham) stabs his submersible into the Meg's gut, slicing its stomach open before harpooning it directly in the eye and leaving the local shark population to devour its remains. In its own way, beautiful.
