I think you're right. I mean, I know I have movies I love that I'd be embarrassed to tell people how much I enjoy them cause it either doesn't fit with how they see me (or even how they need so, for my work and such) or because it reveals something about me that I'd rather they didn't know. One of my best friends is a super "tough macho man" type as far as how most people see him, but his favorite show in the world is CHARMED and his favorite 2 movies are ROMANCING THE STONE and GONE WITH THE WIND. Seriously, he's a former body-builder, teaches martial arts, hunts on a regular basis, and lives in a sleeveless camouflage shirt- but he cries in tons of movies, loves rom-coms more than any single woman I've met, and he can sing along to any Disney cartoon you name. But he will NEVER tell anyone he likes Disney movies and such. He doesn't think people would take him seriously at work or on hunting trips, if they knew. I don't think that constitutes "guilty pleasure" because the movies he likes are considered good movies and he probably knows they are good movies.
What you are talking about is something different.
guilt·y pleas·ure
noun
noun: guilty pleasure; plural noun: guilty pleasures
something, such as a movie, television program, or piece of music, that one enjoys despite feeling that it is not generally held in high regard.
