What movie did you love that you're ashamed to admit to?

[Speck Tater]

Personally, I've only seen two movies I didn't like: Battlefield Earth and Species II.

So I guess I'm supposed to be ashamed that I loved Titanic and Pearl Harbor and Forrest gump, but I'm not.

So fess up. You know you loved a movie that everyone else thinks is crap. Which one is it?

1. Half-Baked

I laughed my ass off.

I also loved "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey" which I thought was brilliant.

11. thought it was brilliant?

I do not even think the producers, writers or actors went that far

[boobooday]

13. Okay, now I thought we didn't have to justify on this

Movies we wouldn't admit, so I go and confess, and there you are.

hmph.

4. Ashamed?

It was pretty well-recieved, i thought?

3. On this site?

The Die Hard films. . . I generally don't like violence in movies, but these films (and Lethal Weapon trilogy) are the exception. They're so much brainless fun. :shrug:

Oh, and Crocodile Dundee. :-) My neighbor the highbrow English professor always makes fun of my love for Paul Hogan.

5. Dirty Dancing. I really liked this "trite" move. nt

[Twillig]

6. Smokey and the Bandit

I, not II.

I can't help it.

14. For the Same Reason,...

...Ice Castles!

I loved it, but what a stinker!

17. The Burbs

Critics really hated that one but I thought it was funny.

[alittlelark]

18. South Park - Bigger, Longer and Uncut

As hubby and I walked out of the theatre I was very nervous that someone I knew would see me!! It was as out there as it gets, but it was f*ckin' hilarious...in a sick and weirded out way.

[TheMightyFavog]

19. The Death Wish Series....

Especailly Death Wish III.

I know the flick is a freeper's wet dream, but I still love it

"Wildey's Here!"

I was hoping that one day, someone gets the rights to these films and ends up doing a FPS game based on the series.

[Donkeyboy75]

20. Animal House

[Dirty Hippie]

21. Joe Dirt

Usually I go for serious movies but I've seen Joe Dirt several times and I laugh every time.

David Spade is a comedic genius!

22. "1941" by Spielberg...

It's infantile, destructive, raucous, virtually scriptless, and was trashed by critics...

Despite my better instincts, I love this picture. It's got at least a dozen classic movie references in it (i.e Dan Ackroyd "beckoning" with his arm from atop a tank, a la Gregory Peck as Ahab in John Houston's "Moby Dick"), and an absolutely brilliant dance-fight sequence.

All this plus Lionel Stander, Warren Oates, and Samuel Fuller in bit parts, and a hilarious turn by Robert Stack as Gen. Joe Stilwell, who just wants to watch "Dumbo," misty-eyed and undisturbed!

23. Sound of Music. Sorry.

It's my parents' fault. We all love musicals in my family.

[PAMod]

24. "The Whoopie Boys" & "Better Off Dead"

Sophomoric humor at its worst. Bad acting, too.

I love them anyway.
