Martin Scorsese lists his guilty pleasures in an article for Film Comment, along with an additional "100 random pleasures" divided into 50 guilty and 50 unguilty pleasures.
1-30 are the guilty pleasures described in detail in the main body of the article.
31-80 are the guilty pleasures in the random pleasures list, which he describes by saying: "On the whole, these films are not good. They’re guilty. But there are things in them that make you like them, that make them worthwhile."
81-130 are the unguilty pleasures in the random pleasures list, which he describes as "films that I love, even though something spoils them."
Published in the May/June 1998 edition of Film Comment.
