Some movies are entertaining without being good. I’ve seen Funny Farm a bunch of times. If you count Stooges episodes as movies a lot of them would qualify for me, I’ll keep watching them, but none of them would make it to the top of my list.
Hey, when you’re me, a little calypso can cover up a lot of sins.
I love both of these movies and realize both would be terrible if it wasn’t for Daniel Day Lewis.
There are others, but the first film that came to mind was Dogma, with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. It’s just so absurd.
Air Force One
I don’t love it, but it’s a decent popcorn flick that’s on all the time. I won’t seek it out, but unless I can find something better, I’ll probably watch it.
I think it’s like an awesome Monty Python skit that goes on too long. The movie drags towards the end. And when the cops start arresting them, it becomes weird but not in a satisfying way.
The Last Samurai: One of my dad’s favorites, so if its on while I’m over I’ll end up watching it with him.
Austin Powers & Austin Powers in Goldmember: Both have some funny scenes stuffed in between boring ones.
Hidalgo: Love to watch the horse run, could care less about the plot.
Remember The Titans: Almost every damn year in HS.
It becomes weird? As in, it was perfectly normal up until that point?
The Wizard of Oz.
Like most people I’ve seen it multiple times growing up, multiple times babysitting, multiple times with nieces and nephews, and a few times with my own kid.
Decent enough movie for a classic but nothing I’d note as one of my favorite movies.
Are there no parents here? Ok, I see one with a kid who likes Star Wars. But I think most everyone with kids would win this.
If only my progeny had liked only cinematic classics…
But nooooo. “Dad, pleeeease can we rent **GoodBurger **for the two hundredth time? And tonight can we watch The Rocketeer for the tenth time… this week? Oh, and can we go buy Rat Race again? I think we wore it out. Is that possible? Ha! Well, we did it.”
The Brendan Frasier *Mummy *movie seems to be on a lot, and I will usually watch it if I happen to flip past. Not a favorite, but entertaining enough.
The Importance of Being Earnest with Rupert Everett and Colin Firth. Kind of “meh” about it as an adaptation, but it’s reasonably student-friendly and slots neatly into two class periods at a point in the semester when my students and I all need a break.
<Peter Griffin voice> Road House
This is one of mine also. Another is Super Troopers. Once I start watching, I have to finish.
For a while back in the day, it seemed every time guys would hang out **Predator **was on the TV, either from a channel or a VCR tape.
At the research station, the stack of tapes included Predator. It was pretty much the only movie ever grabbed from the stack for the VCR. It was almost a constant loop.
Fast forward to last month, when a co-worker decided to have a guy’s cookout. Leave the wives at home type of thing. A few of us brought “guy movie” DVDs. I brought Hard-Boiled and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. When I got there, what did the host have playing? Predator.
I actually like Predator. Not a bad movie at all. But it’s a guilty pleasure to be sure, that I’ve seen at least 20 times.
Because my mother loved them, and only because she did, I’ve seen the Alastair Sim version of **A Christmas Carol and Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol **at least a dozen times each. Now that she’s gone… 
It probably wasn’t dozens of times, but I’ve seen Dirty Dancing more times than I’ve cared to. As in, once would have been quite enough. I had the misfortune to be the age and gender it was targeted to when it was first released, though I never saw it by choice. It’s the numerous friends and acquaintances who had it as their go-to movie, and who had watched the movies I chose, so how could I say no…
See, there are plenty of movies I don’t care for that are still well-made films. DD, on the other hand, is not a well-made film. The plot is completely linear, the premise is laughable, some of the dialogue makes me squirm, and it’s not even a good period piece. And then there’s the morality/legality issue. And yet it’s seen as a modern classic! I was in Best Buy a while back and saw an anniversary edition with about 20 special features on it. WTF.
