Oh, man…I could do this shit all day. NO ONE likes the movies I do. Although I have to give mad support for _Singles_. Good flick. I own it on DVD. Some others: _[The Adventures of Ford Fairlane](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098987/) [Tango & Cash](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098439/) [Two Girls And A Guy](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0124179/) [Killing Me Softly](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0250468/) [Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0261392/)_ ---

> [@DrDeth](#): > > Revenge of the Nerds. ☹ :eek: 😛 You’re not alone buddy. I own the DVD. And I _love_ it. I do feel shame though when I add **Beautician and the Beast** to the list. Yes it’s a 2 hour version of **The Nanny**. No, it has no redeeming qualities. Yes, I watch it whenever it’s on TV. ---

> [@Superdude](#): > > [Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0261392/) Are you kidding? **Good Will Hunting 2: Hunting Season** alone is worth the ticket price or rental fee for that one! God, I love that movie. I even like Will Ferrell in it, and I never like Will Ferrell. ---

> [@Evil Captor](#): > > I have no shame as well. > > I do like “Attack of the 60 Foot Centerfold” because it’s just good, naughty fun. It’s got Forry Ackerman, Tommy Kirk, Russ Tamblyn, some softcore porn actresses who also do other things on the side (like Scream Queen Michelle Bauer who also did a lot of bondage modelling) … and a guy, who is part of a crowd fleeing in terror from the titular centerfold who just HAS to point back and say, “Look at the size of those tits!” Corman directed, I assume? And please tell me Dick Miller shows up somewhere! ---

_Coyote Ugly_. I unapologetically love romantic comedies but I have some that I don’t like admitting to and this is one of them but that doesn’t stop me from watching it every time I run across it on TV and owning the VHS. When I build my DVD collection back up, I’ll be getting it on disc as well. ---

It’s on right now, and I just ran in to post. _Two Of A Kind_, with John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. God decides to end the world, but a couple of angels (Scatman Crothers is one) convince Him to give them one more chance to prove there’s good in the world. They have to make JT and ON-J fall in love in a week’s time. So bad it’s good. ---

I saw **The Wash** , **Barbershop** and **Barbershop 2** all on my own. They aren’t bad movies per se, but in my circle of white-bred suburban Ohio friends, they are unthinkable as far as movies go 🙂 I also really liked **El Topo** and have seen it 3 times, but no one else seems to understand it (can’t say that I do either, but it captures my attention). ---

I always watch _Troop Beverly Hills_ with Shelly Long. That’s a staple from my childhood. Same with _What About Bob?_ I have a soft spot in my heart for _Never Been Kissed_, even though I usually hate movies like that. ---

Hee. . . the recent version of _Island of Dr. Moreau_ with Brando. Gadamn, I _love_ this movie. It’s critical estimation seems to be reaching _Ishtar_-like levels of infamy. ---

Some videos/DVDs in my collection I feel a little embarresed to have people browsing: _Wizards_, the Bakshi cartoon from the late 70s. _The Crow: Salvation_ (aka “Crow 3”). It never got a theatrical release, but it’s surprisingly good, especially compared to the horror of “The Crow: City of Angels”. _Ever After_. What can I say, I’ve got a thing for Drew Barrymore. Seasons 1-6 of _Buffy the Vampire Slayer_ and seasons 1-3 of _Angel_. I guess embarresed isn’t quite right, but I do get some snide remarks made at my expense. And **Teine** , I wait with baited breath for a DVD release of _Ice Pirates_. ---

Bad movies…I love 'em. A few of my faves: [ul] [li]_Masters of the Universe_ - sucks so hard that popcorn flies from my couch and sticks to the TV screen, but I love it good.[/li][li]_The Wraith_ - Awful. Fun. Sherilyn Fenn ::drool:: _High Plains Drifter_ meets…uh… something else.[/li][li]_The Gladiator_ - Another awesomely horrible 80’s deathcar epic.[/li][/ul] There are more stinkers I dig watching, but the list would just be too damn long… ---
