Mannequin – I never went through the “girls have cooties” phase that most guys apparently go through. I always wanted a girlfriend; unfortunately the girls that age thought all guys had cooties. No luck there. So the concept of creating a beautiful woman who would love you for being a slacker and a f**k-up was pretty appealing. I fell in love with the movie the minute I saw it. It helped that I had a dream a few years before the movie came out that was amazingly similar plot-wise. It ain’t Shakespeare, but I didn’t care.
Charlie’s Angels – I can’t watch this movie and not smile. Not to mention the amount of eye-candy. I’m hoping the sequel is more of the same. There’s nothing wrong with a movie that is specifically designed to let you feel good while vegging out.
The first TMNT movie – They didn’t abuse the comics too badly in this one. The 2nd movie was a crime against humanity and the 3rd was a half-hearted apology for the 2nd.
Ahh. Well that’s it for guilty pleasures unless you count any movie whose title starts with Cannonball Run…
The 13th Warrior – It’s amazing how many people can’t stand this movie.
The Ninth Gate – Yeah, it is a slow movie. I like it anyway. It would make a pretty interesting campaign in D20 Modern or D&D for PCs of a morally ambiguous nature.
The Mummy and The Mummy Returns – I wanted to dislike these for some reason, but after I got DSS The Mummy was on constantly and I found myself really enjoying it. Aside from the fact that Rachel Weisz is lovely, Fraser’s two-gun adventurer is great.
Baron Munchausen – Wow, that takes me back…
Mmm, Metropolis.
And Viggo Mortenson did an amazing job as Lucifer.
