Me, too. That’s creepy. That wasn’t one of my better decisions.
I’m just going to list these without comment: Good Advice and Over Her Dead Body.
Yeah… if you’re fascinated with Roman style orgies… and killing…
I could say Conan the Barbarian…but I’m not embarassed about it…I think it is a fine flick.
The one I would be somewhat embaraased about would be Starship Troopers.
What A Girl Wants
Mean Girls
The American President
Amazingly **Eraserhead **is available in the free movies on Comcast OnDemand, if any one was interested.
I have! That’s because the Elvis in that movie (Eddie Powers) was also our Elvis!
Not really ashamed to admit it, but The Scout.
That’s pretty much the only movie that I genuinely like that seems to have no other takers.
Hackers. I love this movie.
The American President was a good movie! Michael Douglas, Martin Sheen, Anette Benning, Michael J. Fox… it’s a great cast by the guy who went on to create West Wing… I think it’s a great movie!
… now about that Amanda Bynes movie…
The Craft and Practical Magic.
Also the two Narnia movies. It seems like most of the people who loved the books hated the movies, but I loved the books and thought the movies were good fun, even if they weren’t exactly faithful to the books.
There are a lot of movies I think take entirely too much flak from people who want them to be more than fun wastes of time–Waterworld, Starship Troopers, The Day After Tomorrow, Armageddon, The Core. I’m not… ashamed, exactly, to have them in my collection but I know there are people who would look at me askance.
A Few Good Men is kind of silly, but I really like it, and I think it has some great dialogue (beyond the obvious; the movie has basically become synonymous with Nicholson and I think that’s unfortunate). I also like the rifle drill that opens the movie. Mm.
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is profoundly ridiculous but appears to have been crafted for me specifically (zeppelins? Flying aircraft carriers? Robots and death rays? Sweet) and as a result I love it all, the ludicrous technology and the campiness naturally included.
I found Lost in Translation a beautiful movie and have since discovered that this makes me a philistine, apparently. For me it was both evocative and nostalgic, and it spoke to the kind of feelings I had growing up there–a mix of wonder and complete, stark alienation. It’s one of my favourite movies.
*Pootie Tang. * So shoot me. My whole family loves this movie and we can quote from it extensively. “Sa da tay!”
*Indiocracy. * 'nuff said.
Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. I’m the one person that actually enjoyed these movies, and I’ve enjoyed them more than once.
Space Cowboys was such a terrible, but such a great movie. How has this thread made it to this point without that movie being mentioned?
Or was it really that bad and I’m the only one who liked it?
For some reason I didn’t hate:
Howard the Duck
Dune
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
“Sort of” liked Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey? I found it gut-bustingly funny. Or indeed non-non-non heinous.
Oh, and Weekend at Bernie’s. Although I saw it in a theater full of 19-year-old girls.
You mean we’re not suppose to love this movie? Oh well, +1 then.
Curse you though, as I now have the damn song stuck in my head. Or rather the only two lines I can remember of it; “Howard…The Duck. Yeah! da-da-daa da-da-da”
Swordfish
Mean Girls
Charlie’s Angels
Ang Lee’s Hulk
I found one.
Postman.
I really liked that show but many, many, many people much smarter than me found it garbage.
I loved these movies when they came out, but haven’t seen them in years. I think I may have to make my husband watch them now.
I also love Mean Girls, though I wouldn’t call it a guilty pleasure since I think it’s a legitimately good movie with a valid point. I have the DVD, and Tina Fey (I think, it may have been someone else) mentions in the special features how they had to tone a lot of it down to get the PG-13 rating.
How could be ashamed of liking Night of the Comet?
now, The Man With Two Brains - there’s a film a person might hesitate to admire publicly. I thought it was funny. Apparently this opinion was not shared by anyone else in the theater.
Peasants.
