Guilty Pleasures

[Brown Jenkin]

I love Willow as well without shame. I don't see how this even fits on this list.

As for some of my personal choices.

Subspecies II: Full Moon Entertainment is not known for quality pics and this has the same low budget but I loved the story. I thought it was a great look at what becoming a vampire might be like. This is the one that I get mocked the most for liking.

Zardoz: Right up there with Meteor for bad Sean Connery flicks but I liked the cheesey badness of it.

Clash of the Titans: Everyone seems to trash this movie for bad effects. OK they were not good but I still liked the story.

Lord of the Rings (Bashki Edition): I don't understand why this is so hated. Many trash the animation style but it never bothered me.

Miss Congeneality: This is not a guilty pleasure for 50% of the population, but I am a guy.

Christmas Vacation-I used to hate this film, but I grew to love it after dating someone who thought it was the funniest movie ever made. Now, even though she's no longer around, I still find the movie to be funny, and watch it every year around Xmas.

The first Charlie's Angels movie (the 1st one was silly, but the sequel was just ridiculous).

 

[Kesh]

Alien: Resurrection - Compared to Alien 3, this is Oscar material.

UHF - How can anyone not love this movie? If you have the DVD, you must watch it with the commentary on.

Resident Evil - I consider this a 'side story' to the games. It actually fits into the plot without too much work, and the film is pretty fun by itself.

Star Trek: Generations - Personally, I thought this was a great 'ending' to the ST:TNG series. Characters had a chance to really change, and then move on in their lives. The follow-up films started getting weaker and weaker...

The Crow: City of Angels - I actually enjoyed this more than the original. I know, the whole 'dead soul avenging a fallen lover' gets more credit among the goth crowd, but I was really moved by the father/son aspect of this one.

An American Werewolf in London - Best. Werewolf. Film. EVAR.

Denise Duff is hot! And it has Shatner's daughter!

Well I am 28 years old, so when Commando came out (I was 10), it was not cheesy, it was an awesome flick.

"Remember when I said I would kill you last?"

"yea"

"I lied"



Same with Red Dawn....this movie has great acting anyway.

I have to second Red Dawn, but I'm always an old Cold Warrior at heart.

Hmm, I have to think of films that geeks wouldn't think of as good right? I mean I'm a Tron addict and all, but that would probably be accepted around here in spite of the horrible acting and cheesy plot.

Maybe The Replacements, which I still find quite enjoyable. Then again that was reasonably successful, so I'm not sure if it counts.

How about Leap of Faith? I quite enjoyed that Steve Martin movie. I don't think it did all that well.

They Live by John Carpenter.

Hudson Hawk

HUDSON HAWK! HUDSON HAWK!!!!!!

hee, should have gotten to this thread sooner, now I can only second most things...

UHF was great, I don't know if it rates as a guilty pleasure, its cool within its genre... whatever that may be.

I guess my only serious guilty pleasure is a TV show, not a movie... I like to watch telitubbies... especially when I'm sick... I don't know why, it just draws me.

Damn I forgot that one. I LOVE They Live.

Does Big Trouble in Little China count in this regard?
