I was thinking the same thing. The Sound Of Music or Grease is a guilty pleasure, not Goodfellas.
Since about 5 people reamed my ass for saying Gladiator was a guilty pleasure:
The Sound of Music is one of the greatest musicals of all time, it was nominated for 10 Academy Awards in 1965 and won 5 including best picture.
In 1966 it won Golden Globe awards for best picture, and best motion picture actress. It was nominated for best picture director and best supporting actress.
It is currently listed on the American Film Institutes list of greatest 100 musicals in 4th place.

Grease also got it's share of accolades. But I feel a little more guilty watching it than I do Goodfellas. Although I admit I have a few fond memories of Grease since it was a play my drama class put on in my first year of college.Since about 5 people reamed my ass for saying Gladiator was a guilty pleasure:

If nothing else, the one thing I liked about the John Travolta hat trick of movies he pulled off in the late 70's/80's (Saturday Night Fever, Grease, Urban Cowboy), the soundtracks alone to those movies made them very watchable. And they all still hold up very well today. I especially liked Urban Cowboy. Other than the music I was in love with Deborah Winger. That girl was a stone cold show stopper back then.For me it is "Saturday Night Fever".......some of the lines are classic.....Where Tony
has Annette in the back seat and asks if she is "safe" and then says ok give me A BLOWJOB....LOL !!!
Then the dancing even today Mrs Mailman and I try to duplicate his moves in the dance contest finals.... We actually come fairly close even after 35 years
