Cleo Catra 178382 Report post Posted September 3, 2013 I know there are threads on here about different types of guilty pleasures, but I can't recall there being one about films. So... what are those films that you just love to watch and watch again? Not necessarily your ATF films... but the ones you usually watch alone, cause you're kind of embarrassed that someone would know you like it? I was just browsing TMN OnDemand and found City of Angels. I tried to convince myself to watch something I know is better... but I kept coming back to it. So screw it, I'm watching it, and will sit here and happily cry my eyes out at the cheeseball ending. Other totally guilty pleasure films include: Clueless; Bring it On; Legally Blonde; Josie and the Pussycats; Drop Dead Gorgeous; Wild Things; and Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the movie with Luke Perry... oh yes). 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GH26 117 Report post Posted September 3, 2013 Of enjoying Caddyshack,who doesn't? On the other end of the scale, The Deer Hunter,I first saw it in Bangkok when it came out in 1979.To walk out into the streets and go for a few drink's at The Mississippi Queen Bar, where some of it was shot was surreal.I will never forget that moment till the day I die.I still watch it to this day.

Guest realnicehat Report post Posted September 3, 2013 Hmmm.............cheesy favourites. I'm a sucker for the Underworld as well as the Resident Evil movies. If they ever make an Alice meets Selene movie I will be in heaven. Apparently others want this too: After the Sunset is pretty weak but it has Salma Hayek in it plus Woody Harrelson. And of course, the cheesiest bestest guy movie ever.....ROADHOUSE! Any movie with the line "pain don't hurt" is a winner in my books. and the fight scenes for fun: OH! Days of Thunder! How could I forget Days of Thunder. And anything with Nicholas Cage but let's say Face Off: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pvb4E3oN4w0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cleo Catra 178382 Report post Posted September 3, 2013 YAY Roadhouse! Terminator 2: Judgement Day is a guilty pleasure, AND one of my ATFs. John Connor was one of my first big celebrity crushes, and I even had all the T2 collector cards and the collector album to keep them in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MightyPen 67414 Report post Posted September 3, 2013 Oh yeah. Big Trouble in Little China. 1986. Did absolutely terribly when released (I was one of the very few, it seems, who saw it when it came out...). But it's got a cult following now. I can quote ridiculous amounts of it verbatim. And hey, it's got a pre-Sex and the City Kim Cattrall! Huh! YouTube summary sorta does movie justice: While kung fu warriors and otherworldly spirits battle over the fate of two women, Russell's swaggering idiot manages to knock himself out or underestimate the forces he's dealing with. Jack Burton, a tough-talking, wisecracking truck driver whose hum-drum life on the road takes a sudden supernatural tailspin when his best friend's fiancee is kidnapped. Speeding to the rescue, Jack finds himself deep beneath San Francisco's Chinatown, in a murky, creature-filled world ruled by Lo Pan, a 2000-year-old magician who mercilessly presides over an empire of spirits. Dodging demons and facing baffling terrors, Jack battles his way through Lo Pan's dark domain in a full-throttle, action-riddled ride to rescue the girl. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emiafish 30979 Report post Posted September 3, 2013 Ditto Big Trouble in Little China, but I have more embarrassing admissions. Howard the Duck is a flick I can't pass up. Ah duck love! Scanners, who doesn't love head exploding fun? A Knights Tale, Heath Ledger and jousting, a good fonging time for all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who doesn't love Howard? I have the dvd, I think I shall watch it tomorrow. And you neglected to mention the best part of A Knights Tale...

royalflush131313 3480 Report post Posted September 3, 2013 That's funny you mentioned Wild Things, Cleo. I was thinking about that movie as soon as I saw the title of the thread. That's probably my number 1 cheesy movie that I watch whenever it's on. 2 others I always watch are All the Right Moves and Youngblood. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I watched it in class in University actually. Another guilty pleasure - Young Guns, 1 & 2! Mr Deeds, especially Turturro as the butler - 'You have underestimated my sneakiness' Point Break.

LuvAlts (AKA BownChickaBow 438 Report post Posted September 3, 2013 Recently I've been playing these over and over again: Hot Tub Time Machine Your Highness Year One John Carter Waterworld So I Married An Axe Murderer Airplane! Absolutely love Big Trouble in Little China as already listed. Rather than watching sci-fi over and over, it seems comedy does it for me. (...and porn lol ex: The Dinner Party) Great Thread Cleo!

Nippongakki 3843 Report post Posted September 3, 2013 Even though I have the DVD (which I never watch, go figure) I'll watch Overboard any time it's on TV! Terrible movie but it gets me every time! Maybe it's the young Goldie Hawn....or a dreamy young Kurt Russell! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Surf_Nazis_Must_Die 8958 Report post Posted September 3, 2013 Hmm... As an unabashed aficionado of trashy cinema I don't have many films i'm embarrassed to admit having enjoyed. I suppose some of the more kid friendly fare I have enjoyed might get me some strange looks from friends For instance, Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs is always guaranteed to make me smile!

Mister T 45020 Report post Posted September 3, 2013 I'm a bit of a B-movie, if not C-movie fan, so some of the movies i like to watch by myself are a little dated (hard to admit i like some of the following ;-) : Plan 9 from out of space Barbarella The revenge of She Blood from the mummy's tomb Rocky Horror Picture Show (aaaa seeing this in a theater on halloween) Airplane Top Secret!

Moviefan 1238 Report post Posted September 3, 2013 I have to admit that when the Twilight series started I publicly trashed the movies for the poor quality of acting the main characters exhibit. I have seen every movie in this series at least twice, and will most likely watch them again. Not sure what continues to draw me to watch them, but think it as a lot to do with the character of Alice, played by Ashley Green. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldblueeyez 15475 Report post Posted September 3, 2013 I very rarely watch a movie twice, but there are a few I come back to from time to time on Youtube or whatever. Usually after I've had a few glasses of wine and start thinking to myself, "Man, all this Orwellian shit IS coming true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brad 49548 Report post Posted September 3, 2013 Most certainly not movies I'd call favourites, but guilty pleasures... Con-Air Robin Hood (both the Kevin Costner version and the Men in Tights parody!)

Philander39 3705 Report post Posted September 4, 2013 I usually like my movies on the dramatic side but for some reason I always watch this movies if I see them on AMC or some other movie channel Pretty in Pink - just love the scene in the record store when Ducky dances to Otis Redding Ella Enchanted - yes, Anne Hathaway is cute but there something blissfully fun about this movie More than once this movies have wasted an afternoon or kept me up late at night.
