I’m surprised anyone is embarassed about liking What About Bob?, most people I know love that movie (I hate it).
My guilty pleasure-type flicks:
Tango & Cash - I know it’s awful and it rips off stunts from Jackie Chan flicks, but I love it.
Head - The Monkees’ career killer of a film. I love the way they skewer themselves and their pop status. Some of the songs are pretty good. Plus, I just can’t hate any flick that has the heroes getting stuck inside a vacuum cleaner, finding a pot roach, taking a whiff of it and refering to it as “not one of your standard brands” and "an el Zoomo ".
The Matchmaker - Janeane Garofalo and the Irish scenery make up for the stupid, predictable plot, “komedy” high jinks, and Irish stereotypes in place of character development.
Bless the Child. I went to see that because the preview looked pretty cool. When I actually watched the movie, the strangest thing happened - I recognized the movie as a cliched piece of crap, yet at the same time, I enjoyed it. I don’t mean in a so-bad-it’s-good way like MST3K movies or Plan 9, but as it was actually intended to be enjoyed. I can’t even explain to myself why I like it.
i really like ten things i hate about you even though it’s stupid teenage garbage…some of the lines in it are really funny, and for some reason this makes up for the predictability of the plot. i feel like listing all the movies that are stupid that i DON’T like to prove myself…like the music snob in high fidelity.
i’m down with it, i got the 411, and you’re not gettin’ jiggy with some guy. i don’t care how dope his ride is…my momma didn’t raise no fool.
North. Love it. Love it. Love it. Could watch it over and over again. I was 12 when it came out, and had a total crush on Elijah Wood–oh wait, still do. sigh Christ, I’m lame.
I saw that movie in the theater during it’s first run. I didn’t know Heather Graham was in it, but I haven’t seen it since the first time and I didn’t know who she was back then.
I am a member of the tiny minority of people who think Exorcist II: The Heretic is a great movie.
And I have right here at hand a copy of one of my favorite comedies, Beavis and Butt-Head Do America.
Have I lost all credibility now?
