I glanced at some of the choices and was thinking that I’ve been about to write an OP about movies you know arecrap, but still like, enjoy and are proud to tell the world about (as opposed to so called guilty pleasures\*). Somehow, this thread kinda merges with that idea. I’ll list some crappy movies I enjoy, and others that I think have been unjustly forgotten: Wild Things (crappy) My favorite year (forgotten) Notting Hill (crappy) The year of living dangerously (forgotten) Body Double (crappy) Body Heat (forgotten) Doc Hollywood (crappy) Cube (forgotten) Road House\*\* (crappy) Animal House (forgotten) \*It’s one thing to admit a guilty pleasure on a MB, another to stand in a room full of HS students in 2008 and explain why BtVS was one of the best things that ever happened to TV. \*\*Road House is just awful. It’s the awfulness that makes it so great. It’s the anitmatter of normal crappy cinema. It’s so bad, it hits you coming from the other side and makes you want more of the same crappiness. I wouldn’t’ve been surprised to see a producer cred going to someone from the Dibbler family ---

American Dreamer Educating Rita Hawks (with Timothy Dalton—I taped it off tv years ago and loved it and haven’t been able to find a copy to buy) Pulp Fiction The Lion in Winter (I used to have it memorized from start to finish) Big Fish Raising Arizona Miller’s Crossing The Princess Bride Shrek I didn’t look at other people’s list, b/c then I think of ten thousand ones I like– These were ones that I sat and thought about. ---
