The term is a real thing whether you find it coherent or not.
People like you take it way too seriously or overthink it.
Re "guilty pleasures," I don't have any. I could name films that I like that most other people don't, but I'd have to pay more attention than I normally do to what other people like in order to do that. I'm not someone who usually worries about consensus opinions.
Many people do like movies the actually think are bad. In fact the term "so bad it's good" is used to describe movie that people enjoy because of how bad they are.
Guily pleasure is much different though. I think the best way to descibe it is a movie that is dumb fun. I consider movies that are dumb fun to be good movies but they arent good in the same way as an intelligent well written movie is.
Furious 7 for example is entertaining because of how idiotic it is imo, and that is a movie that is pretty well liked. Something that actually surprises me.
