A guilty pleasure movie that I have is Harlem Nights. It's an awful movie. Well, maybe not entirely awful. It has a roll call of some of the top black comedians. Red Foxx, Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, Della Reese, Arsenio Hall, Charlie Murphy and many others. After about the first 40 minutes, the movie falls apart completely. I think that is what happens when you let Eddie Murphy both write and direct a feature film. At any rate, the top scene in the movie is when the whole group is together tallying up the night's take at the casino they run. Eddie and Della get into it and have to take the discussion out back. Good stuff. Plus, seeing Della "Touched by an Angel" Reese playing a cursing, violent madame is funny.
