What movies are you embarrassed to love?

[Evil Hobbit]

Great to see love for HOOK. It's always bashed, but I love how it's a different spin on a familiar story.

8)



Last Action Heroes was pretty cool as well!

[thebostonlocksmith]

I wouldn't say that i love it, but i did enjoy Notting Hill perhaps a little more then i should have... not that i was knocking one out or anything...

I really like some very old sci-fi stuff too, not that i'm a fan of the genre now... i Like the 'Quatermass' films and have quite a fondness for 'Destination moon base alpha' and also films like 'them'...

this is kind of odd because i really have no time for Star trek or Star Wars... I expect to be B4nned again for that one...

...can we abuse people in here or do I have to take it to the EFBR?

[thebostonlocksmith]

you can do it wherever you like... although i think my embarrassment at enjoying this film will come as no revelation given the title of the thread... abuse away...

[Maui]

White Chicks!

It's just so stupid, it's funny.

[LaDracul]

Dunno if I mentioned this one, but "Class Act" with Kid and Play. And a cameo by Pauly Shore.

Speaking of that, "Jury Duty" was an interesting comedy remake of "Twelve Angry Men"...

[Dee E. Goppstober]

I didn't think I'd post in this thread- because usually I'm not too embarassed about the things I like - but yesterday I watched BIG with Tom Hanks- and I did feel a little embarassed about liking it, because it's so goody-goody predictable.

But Tom Hanks being all childish just made me smile a lot, I couldn't help it.

Even though it was a real bomb at the box office, I found RV to be rather amusing. I do own it.

I didn't see this - although it sounds like it could be kind of amusing, really.


But it makes me think of Faith No More's song RV -do you know it? It has great lyrics - Mike Patton mumbling things like "Yeah, I sweat alot" , "Would anyone tell me if I was getting any stupider" and "Talking to myself -everybody's staring at me".

Yeah, check it out, it's funny. Never heard of that tune. Sounds like it should be on the RV soundtrack though.

I will. Here's one of their MySpace pages that has RV on it.

Cool, thanks. Oooh, Zombie Eaters tune. Very nice indeed!

That was childhood staple!

[colonel_lugz]

I just saw an advert for the Dirty Dancing Special Edition DVD.....and I clapped with joy.

Now my housemate won't make me tea

Not for me it wasn't. But glad to have caught up then.

Yeah I meant in my household

[DaleTremont]

I'm embarrassed that people are embarrassed to love some of these movies!

Clueless, Zoolander, Labyrinth, Grease, Hackers, Short Circuit, The Fifth Element: there is no shame!

Especially not in Hackers.

Hack the Planet!

Cereal Killer!

Crash and Burn!

I am, however, a little embarrassed to thoroughly enjoy "The Sweetest Thing"

[darkjedijaina]

I'm a huge fan of Zoolander as well.

[VegasRon]

Resident Evil.

Though it MUST be watched with Milla's and Michelle Rodriguez' commentary, they are not only funny as hell, they're gaming geeks.

[Zarles]

Bring It On.

On second thought, I'm not embarrassed of it at all. That movie rocks.

[Spifftacular SquirrelGirl]

I mentioned in another thread that I really kind of liked "Funny Farm".


Another guilty pleasure of mine would have to be "Dude Where's My Car". And no, I wasn't high at the time when I saw it.

[minstrel]

My roomie loves Funny Farm. I've never seen it all the way through, but it's often on TV, so I hear it from my office.

It's not terrible. What's the problem?

[Spifftacular SquirrelGirl]

I still don't think a lot of people consider it one of Chevy Chase's best films or even close to it.


As for another non-Chevy movie... has anyone else mentioned "Twister"?
Yes, it's totally ridiculous but everytime it's on tv I find myself still watching it.

It is one of the best films wherein he eats testicles...

[Chilli]

If I was ever embarrased by a film, then I would be equally embarrassed by Congo & Kung Pow. But I don't care who knows I like them, won't spoil my enjoyment.

[Vameon]

Street fighter.

[papalazeru]

Street fighter.

You really seated at the table of Shame.

I think mine would be Care Bares because I'm certianly not embarassed by the Disney greats.

But Street Fighter is so bad its good.

Van Damne: Don't worry Charlie....I'll help you.


Oh my god. Terrible lines....No wonder Raul Julia died, he was at a test screening. This is the actual video that they watch in 'The ring' and in 7 days they die.

Exactly, how can you hate such a film?

It also has the worst military mission in history, which my brother and me giggle through. Basically involves Guile making no attempt to stealthily grab the hostages.

Why? The only reason he broke in was so they would get killed for bad acting.


And that Flash kick......oh my God!

I'm now changing my opinion. It's not embarrassing to watch Streetfighter, I want to watch it again.

[papalazeru]

And who came up with the idea of making it realistic with no fireballs etc....? Kill them.

[Chilli]

Hah.

Me too.

[unikrunk]

Oh crap, where to even begin...

I dig old school, studio musicals, perhaps a little too much. The Sound of Music, Fiddler on the Roof, The King and I, Wizard of OZ.

Also, I really dig the shit out of She-Ra, Jem and the Holograms, and the Ewok adventures (LA). Oh, and my wife just reminded me that I love the Babe movies. I can jump at pretty much any family fare film...with the exception of Bridge to Terribillia, I hate that fucking movie.

[thebostonlocksmith]

The boy who could fly...

[darkjedijaina]

ah, Bruce Campbell had a great death scream in that. and I do love me some Tim Curry.

I e-mailed Bruce once. Told him I loved Congo. He never replied. Wonder why...?

[thomasgaffney]

Oh, and my wife just reminded me that I love the Babe movies.

The first Babe is one awesome, kick-ass movie. Should have won the Oscar!

[Hermanator X]

The first one from the top of my head is Sam Raimis Crimewave.
I watched it at the weekend with my gf and she just thought WTF am i being made to watch here? Its absolutely ridiculous, but I love it and still laugh all the way thru. For my troubles I got a pat on the shoulder and a long drawn out "O-Kayyyyy."

On second thoughts, she has the problem, I mean whats not to love about Bruce Campbell playing a heel that triggers gun shot sounds when he smiles?
Peeeyowww

[Peven]

Oh crap, where to even begin...

................ I can jump at pretty much any family fare film...

but have you ever seen "Savage Sam: Son of Old Yeller"?

lol. you have to be creative with your subject line. if you do that, he usually replies. i've always received a reply from him. my son even emailed him and got a reply. this is why i heart bruce campbell.

[Chairman Kaga]

I like the prequels more than most people.

[darkjedijaina]

I like the prequels more than most people.

I don't hate the prequels, but to me, they aren't as rewatchable as the OT.

[HollywoodBabylon]

Tragically but wholly unapologetcially I still have a real soft spot for Breakdance 2: Electric Boogaloo. It's sooo very 80's kitsch I know. But who cares? It hits those beats every single time!

[Worst Part's Almost Over]

Hook

[Evil Hobbit]

Hook

Don't be. The hatred for Hook is a blasphemy. I love that film so much, watched it every year at christmas when I was younger. It's one of the best Spielbergs to me. To me it's THE Peter Pan story. The music; the Robin Williams discovering how to fly again sequence; the Dustin Hoffman brilliance. It's all Bangerang to me!

RU-FI-OOOOOOOOOOOOO

I love that movie too.

And I'm not embarrassed either.

I always loved the scene when they imagine the feast and everything looks like bowlfuls of frosting! When I was a kid I thought it looked like the most delicious food in the world...
...now, not so much. But I still love the movie!

[DennisMM]

Hook is a children's film and should have had the adultisms tweaked so it would have been a better children's film.

[Spifftacular SquirrelGirl]

I really liked Hook too.

Suprisingly it's probably one of Robin William's more subdued roles even thought he's playing Peter Pan.

I really loved every scene between Dustin Hoffman and Bob Hoskins too.

[papalazeru]

The boy who could fly...

I love you Milly....

*flies away....end of film*


So much for hollywood shit
