OK, while I'm not "ashamed" of liking any the things I like, there are some things that I'm not shouting from the rooftops about, especially when I'm around the guys.
Music:
Joni Mitchell
Yaz (UK: Yazoo)
Depeche Mode
Madonna (especially Madonna)
Duran Duran
... in fact, I'm sure a lot of the 80s music I'm into isn't considered entirely "masculine." But whatever.
Books:
Anything by Bret Easton Ellis, despite all the bisexual stuff (in respect to the content in his books).
Harry Potter - I'm a 20 year old man, I've read all of them, I love them, and yes, I dying for number 7.
The fact that I've never read anything by Stephen King (which I soon plan on changing).
Movies:
80s teen films
Harry Potter
I cried after the following list of movies:
"The Land Before Time" (When the mommy dinosaur died. I was like 5).
"Stepmom" (yep, this is one that hurts to admit).
"Little Women" (the original technicolor version) - I was like 12, and I wanted Laurie and Joe to get together so bad, and when they didn't at the end, I wept like a stupid girl. I guess I was a pretty sensitive pre-teen.
"Glory" - Come on! Those men heroically charged into a hail of bullets!
I'm sure there were others, but these are the only ones I can remember.
TV and Other stuff:
Hearing gossip. Not spreading it, just hearing it.
The Real Word: New Orleans, and Chicago
Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood (this is such a good show for children; the best)
Cooking shows.
Andrew McCarthy in the 80s

Air Supply isn't bad really, Milli Vanilli? I have to admit, I liked them a bit when they came out, go figure. :-\\

Sandra Cretu was a hidden pleasure until my mom heard my Sandra downloads! Now I'm happy to have burned a CD of Sandra's songs for my mom! She likes Sandra too!

Clothes: Early 80's designer jeans w/fancy pockets & trim
Tight fitting tapered leg jeans
Music: Some early 80's country, such as
Elvira - Oak Ridge Boys
Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer - Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton
I Wouldn't Have Missed It For The World - Ronnie Milsap
And I love the smell of pipe tobacco... which older people smoked alot when I was a kid in the 80's.

The soundtrack to "Grease" shouldn't be a guilty pleasure.. that one should be something to be proud of.. Sing "Grease is the word " from the rooftops :P
