Remember in “When Harry Met Sally” when Harry told Sally that he always reads the last page of a book first just in case he dies before he is able to finish it? My guilty pleasure isn’t that morbid, but it’s in the same ballpark.

I have a very long list of movies that I really can’t handle emotionally. This includes, prison movies, movies depicting scenes of torture, movies depicting realistic violent scenes, and movies like “Terms of Endearment” “Love Story” and “Beaches.” Now, I’ve seen Beaches, Terms and Love Story… and I sobbed for HOURS afterward and then was depressed for nearly a week. The same goes for “Ghost” as well.

I’ve also made the mistake of seeing “American Me” and “Shawshank Redemption.” I read the novella by Stephen King, “Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption” – which was awesome… but there is something entirely different about actually SEEING it.

Other movies that fall into the “cannot see” category are, “The Patriot,” “We Were Soldiers,” and “Braveheart” Funny how all three of these are Mel Gibson movies as well, isn’t it?

That being said, I have a “thing” for ghost stories and suspense thrillers. I absolutely loved “What Lies Beneath” with Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfieffer. Also loved “The Others” with Nicole Kidman. “The Sixth Sense” was great – but again, when I realized he was dead, there I was crying, because it was just sad.

So, my guilty pleasure is this great movie spoiler website. I love being able to read all about a movie that interests me without having to a.) waste two hours I don’t have watching it and b.) possibly end up traumatized. ;o)

I know, it’s really strange… so maybe I should call it “A Strange, Guilty Pleasure.”
