Movies that are your secret guilty pleasure

[jackpackage200]

For me, It is Mission Impossible 2. I know the story, dialogue, and the acting are terrible but it kind of gives it an endearing quality. Plus the cheesy action sequences are incredibly entertaining. Plus any movie that ends with a motorcycle chase and over the top kung foo earns points with me.

I love Godzilla (1998). I still don't see whats so bad about it.

Also when a Pokemon movie that I like comes up.

 

[Mayhaps]

Hackers
I'm a sucker for 'band' movies too, Bandslam or The Rocker for example.

 

[Leemaster777]

Probably The Spirit, and the first Pokemon movie.

I can still pop Pokemon on, and unironically enjoy it.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Proably Kindergarten Cop. I just find that film funny and cute.

 

[AetherWolf]

Direct-to-video Disney sequels. Yeah, I'm aware they aren't nearly as good as the originals, but a lot of them have some quality to them. I grew up with some of them as well, so this could just be my nostalgia talking...

 

[Total LOLige]

Machete such a great film, people frown upon it when I say it's name and mention how much gore and boobies there is in it.

 

[Soviet Heavy]

Certain Anime films. Mainly the catalog of DBZ films, like the one where Trunks and Goten fight Hitler.

The Boondock Saints

By all accounts, a highly pretentious, vulgar movie (that's vulgar just for the sake of being vulgar; it's annoying).

But watching a stereotypical Russian Mobster get crushed to death by a dislodged toilet dropped 4 stories down helped crack some serious depression I was going through at the time.

It's a cathartic film with memorable parts; even if my inner movie snob disagrees with it.

Probably The Spirit, and the first Pokemon movie.

Oh, I can't believe I forgot The Spirit; that movie is the definition of "so terrible, it's awesome". If nothing else, my friend and I occasionally relapse into random bouts of "Silken Floss is the most beautiful woman ever".

That film had a great soundtrack.

For me, it's got to be Big Booty Bitches 4.

I mean... um... The Road.

Not a pleasurable film in any way, it's extremely depressing, but for some reason I love it.

 

[Lieju]

There are a lot of movies I like for the so-bad-it's-good quality, like The Happening. Or The Room.
But they aren't really secrets...

I guess I'm a bit ashamed for stuff like the Dragonball-movies. And other movies based on manga-series. Since if I like the original series, I'll likely see the movie, and they are usually basically fanservice.

 

[Forgetitnow344]

Other people would say mine's Armageddon, but fuck y'all.

Name a more complete and perfect summer blockbuster. Likable cast, campy science fantasy, excellent pacing and writing, FANTASTIC special effects... It only has two flaws I can think of, and neither really detract from the movie itself as much as they make me smile because they're movie magic.

Why do timezones not exist? Because movie magic!
Why does Rockhound get space dementia? Because movie magic!

Other than that, flawless movie and I'll watch it any day out of the year.

 

[IndomitableSam]

Reign of Fire. I just ignore Matthew Ma... Mc... Mach ... Matthew McChesty and enjoy the rest of the movie. I don't care if people say it's crap, I love the premise and thinking about other holdouts in the rest of the world.

Edit: Also, Gerard Butler and Batman are besties. YES.

 

[Atmos Duality]

That film had a great soundtrack.

It did, though at the moment I can only recall the opening theme.

 

[Latenz1134]

The Excellent Adventures of Bill and Ted! or the Fifth Element.

 

[DrgoFx]

Jokingly: The documentary Two and a Half Men, the life of Charlie Sheen. Please, we all know he was never acting...

On a more serious note though, I enjoy Atlantis, the Disney Film...and also Power Rangers...Yeah. Power Rangers is definitely a guilty pleasure.

 

[Lovely Mixture]

I'm hard pressed to think of anything now. But at these moments I'm reminded of the my Highschool Film Teacher who praises classic Western and Noire films.....and also shamefully admitted to liking "From Dusk till Dawn" cause she loves George Clooney.

Vulgar? I just find that odd, cause I hate vulgarity (saying this just as I posted on a different thread in regards to a Japanese pun about asses) and I consider Boondock Saints to be one of the most non-vulgar movies that I love. Of course, knowing the lead writer's motivation for making the movie beforehand raised it in my eyes.

The PageMaster is probably my biggest guilty pleasure.

The combination of live action with cartoons was just awesome to me.
