17 Biggest Guilty Pleasure Movies Of 2017

12. xXx: Return Of Xander Cage

XXX Return Of Xander Cage Vin Diesel
Paramount

The xXx franchise came roaring back to life with this totally stupid yet ludicrously entertaining sequel, teaming Vin Diesel with a stacked cast of international talents - including Donny Yen and Tony Jaa - for a deliriously dumb action extravaganza.

Everybody knew what to expect going into this: an idiotic, forgettable plot, cartoonish action sequences, cheesy one-liners and a parade of nubile women for Vin to hook up with.

With those expectations, it's probably fair to say that the movie over-delivered, with more self-aware humour and logic-defying action than expected in particular. After all, if you aren't entertained by Diesel riding a motorcycle fitted with water-skis into a tidal wave, do you even really like movies?
