Movies that are your secret guilty pleasure

[NightHawk21]

The Fantastic Mr. Fox. I honestly don't know what it is but that movie is hilarious.

By god, I loved Fight Club. Given the interpretations of reality and the sway of influence over a man, it was beautiful. I softly cried manly tears of depth and understanding after the credits finished rolling, and I was utterly dumbstruck and silent for at least 5 minutes.

Indeed.

Also: The Star Trek: Next Generation films (I don't care what anyone says, I even liked Nemesis).

The American Pie films (1-4 and the newest one, at least, because they're. . . somewhat grounded in reality).

Watchmen. Mostly because it's the only Zack Snyder film I've really been able to sit and watch without thinking "This is completely batshit crazy and makes zero sense."

Pirates of the Caribbean. All four of 'em. Jack Sparrow might not be able to carry a movie by himself but he's still damn funny.

Spaceballs and Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Mel Brooks is a comedic genius.

Snatch and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. Guy Ritchie got his career off to a slamming start with those two films, and I have to say I think Jason Statham could've made a great career out of being a dry-humor straight man.
"No Tommy, I'm not saying you can't shoot. I know you can't shoot. I'm saying that six pound piece of shit stuck in your trousers would do more damage if you fed it to him."

"Turkish (Statham): Well, you know about caravans.
Tommy: How's that?
Turkish: You spent a summer in one, which means you know more than me. And I don't want to have my pants pulled down over the price.
Tommy: What's wrong with this one?
Turkish: [Pulls the caravan's door from its hinges] Oh, nothing, Tommy. It's tiptop. It's just I'm not sure about the colour."

"Bacon (Statham): What's that?
Samoan Joe's Barman: It's a cocktail. You asked for a cocktail.
Bacon: No. I asked you to give me a refreshing drink. I wasn't expecting a fucking rainforest! You could fall in love with an orangutan in that!
Samoan Joe's Barman: You want a pint, you go to the pub.
Bacon: I thought this was a pub!
Samoan Joe's Barman: It's a Samoan pub."

Ninja Assassin. Horribly cheesy but I couldn't help but love it.

 

[RedDeadFred]

Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny is a pretty great movie to watch while drunk...

...

or high.

I've watched it a lot more times than several of my favorite movies.

 

[Lovely Mixture]

Heh, tell you what.
Watch it again, and take a drink every time someone says the word "fuck".

You'd have to be Irish to survive.

Ahh right. I forget how de-sensitized I am to foul language, I don't even bat an eyelash.

 

[Don Savik]

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.

Man I love that movie. Post apocalyptic dragons. AMAZING. I had no idea people thought badly of it though (everyone I know loves it), but then again, the internet is the internet. People love to hate.


edit: I forgot to say mine, oops, lol

Wes Anderson movies. Nobody but me, my older brother, and my uncle understand them, but they are really enjoyable movies. Its a weird humor, but they're refreshingly different from your average movie. Life Aquatic is hilarious.

 

[Innocent Bystander]

For some reason, I feel almost no shame when it comes to movies, films or games that I enjoy. I know I should, but my circle of friends tend to have fairly open minds about what others enjoy. Plus, we like to watch shitty movies and riff on them, so there's that.

 

[Vanitas likes Bubbles]

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.

I watched that with my friends (I was the only one to suggest watching Pulp Fiction) and they were all like "ZOMG DAT GUYS ARM GOT CUT OFF..... ZOMG TITTIES" while I was like "Wow.... the pacing in this movie is terrible and the diolouge is so cliched and cheesey". I should probably find some more classy people to hang out with but whatever.

OT: I quite enjoyed FF7: Advent Children. I've never been a Final Fantasy fan but that movie had some awesome action sequences.

 

[DeimosMasque]

Howard the Duck, Repo! The Genetic Opera, X-Men the Last Stand and The Avengers (the one with Sean Connery)

You're the first person that I've met that knows about, let alone enjoys Repo! The Genetic Opera.

Actually I did lighting for a Repo! Shadowcasting for a few shows, and my wife played a genetern however she also has a pretty awesome Amber Sweet cosplay.

This... So much this... I love this movie.. or musical?

 

[sylekage]

(Oh God, please don't hate me for this)

I enjoyed the hell out of The Phantom Menace. Attack of the clones can suck it, and Revenge of the Sith had the greatest ligtsaber battle out of all of them.

Bring. It. On.

*I'm sorry, double post, my browser just froze on me for a second

 

[lobo_ace777]

Ghost Rider and Advent Children.

 

[DragonLordSerge]

Man with the Screaming brain made and directed by bruce campbell its a great bad B movie and Buba hotep

 

[Racecarlock]

2 Fast 2 Furious. Something about the over the top car action, the stereotypes, and the coastal setting just gets me right in my fun center. It's just a silly and wacky film and it's just plain fun to watch.

 

[Cowabungaa]

I don't do secret guilty pleasures. I have absolutely no problem with saying that I adore cute chick flicks like Love Actually and Notting Hill, or that I quite enjoyed the first Transformers movie and actually don't mind Micheal Bay that much.

And I damn well like the Star Wars prequels. Not even that, but Phantom Menace is my favorite of the three.

I find that I can tolerate the bad acting in it if I assume they were trying to make a bad movie so it could be viewed as a comedy. Also, that mindset made me enjoy Twilight Breaking Dawn 1.

I actually tried watching Twilight like that. It sadly didn't work like that for me.

 

[5-0]

Anything with Jack Black in. I don't care that he plays himself pretty much every time, his personality is just so likeable. I was prepared for Gulliver's Travels to be absolute balls, but for some reason he saved it. And School of Rock is just a classic.

Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny is a pretty great movie to watch while drunk...

...

I've watched it a lot more times than several of my favorite movies.

And this. It doesn't matter how many times I see it, it's still funny, and that's when sober.

 

[bz316]

The movie version of "Wing Commander." I understand that it's objectively stupid, but I still enjoy it.

 

[CarlsonAndPeeters]

Probably "Wanted." Objectively its a pretty sub-par movie, but I just love it in all of its action-packed glory.
