Amalor Myrnnyx Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 We've covered favorite and most disappointing movies. Well, how about that movie that you absolutely love, that many 6 other people in the world love as well, and everyone else is posting about in most disappointing? Let's hear some of your Guilty Pleasure movies... To start this ball rolling, I'll throw out 3 that I watch at least once a month, much to the wincing of most people I know: Mannequin 2 Robot Jox Clue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dargrin Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Quest for the Mighty Sword! Horrendously bad "B" movie. All my friends like it. (thats 6) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sethohman Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Robot Jox If anyone ever knocks Robot Jox (or Crash and Burn for that matter - both came out same year, and Jox uses Crash and Burn as a sort of good luck saying), it is worth a good punching to them.

Spike Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Buckeroo Banzai --- either you get it..or you don't Sixteen Candles --- yeah yeah I know I'm freakin' forty years old, but it's STILL a fun movie, just like Pretty In Pink and Some Kind Of Wonderful..and if you say those are all the same plot, me and you gonna have words, Busta! Spaceballs --- predictable, sophomoric, the sort of thing you'd expect from Mel Brooks...so why is it still so dang funny? The Hunchback Of Notre Dame (Disney) -- I'm a huge fan of Victor Hugo literature..and I really wanted to not like this movie, but I finally saw it..and it's good. Nice animation and a happy ending..unlike the book. The Ref --- not so much saying that it is a bad movie, but I am guilty of thinking of it as a "holiday family" movie. I like to watch it the night before I visit my family for Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruunwald Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Sixteen Candles --- yeah yeah I know I'm freakin' forty years old, but it's STILL a fun movie, just like Pretty In Pink and Some Kind Of Wonderful..and if you say those are all the same plot, me and you gonna have words, Busta! I'm surprised you feel you have to defend this. Sixteen Candles was a big hit and still seems beloved to everyone I talk to. I don't know anybody between 44 and 33 who doesn't remember it fondly or still enjoy it from time to time, and it regularly makes mention in articles (including a couple newstories in the past couple years on CNN and MSNBC) and never seems to be put down. Was somebody else in the other thread actually bagging this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin - awesome movie, but generally not well heard of or watched. And, Battlefield Earth. I know it is abyssmal, but still a fun movie, IMO.

Whizard Hlavaz Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 It's likely there're all sorts of people who like this film (not yet mentioned in the other thread), but among folks I know there are few. So here goes: The Gods Must Be Crazy. Talk about a giggle fest for me. I lose it just thinking about the rhino putting out the campfire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lastman Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 War of The Gargantuas Yes! When I was a kid that scared me. I'll add all the Godzilla films. Most people don't get it. Dune by David Lynch is great. The sets, costumes, badguys, and the babes. The critics said most people couldn't follow the plot, so when they aired it on TV they added narration. Dumb.

I'm also a fan of Masters of the Universe. Yes, Dolph Lundrgren can't act his way out of a wet paper sack, but hey, you had guys with swords battling guys with guns. How cool is that?

Spike Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I liked The Gods Must Be Crazy too. I also liked the nature film which I think inspired it. IIRC it was called Animals Are Funny People. The fore mentioned really replicates the documentary feel of the latter mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Tiger Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Well I have a few that fit this category i think... Its hard to tell sometimes between a disliked movie or one that most folks just never gave a chance because they got scared away be heresay. Well anyway I believe these 4 fit the bill. Stardust - Robert DeNiro as Captain "Shakes Spear"! At least that's how his crew would spell it! Michelle Pfeiffer was a pretty cool witch queen too. Movie was a total box office bomb, but I'm a sucker for this flick. Dune - The original with Sting and company, hated by many I enjoy the film. Still trying to get the end theme song on my IPod, done by Toto I think, man has that song been a pain to locate. Eyes Wide Shut - Always have been a big Stanley Kubrick fan, his last work got butchered by so many, but I liked it. Hudsucker Proxy - Big Paul Newman fan, this movie just has a style of humor that doesnt make you gaffah for 2 hours but I never stop smiling either.

Sergeant_Crunch Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I know it has cred with geeks like us, but in my family, my Dad is the only person I know who likes The Princess Bride besides myself. I can't even get my kids to sit through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
