What's your favorite movie that you won't admit liking while in public?
I'd have to say mine is 16 Candles. Still funny 20 years later. And I thought Molly Ringwald was such a hottie back then...

4. That's mine
I caught it in a hotel last year. Yes, it is brainless fluff, but it is also very charming

9. Battlefield Earth
But only for enduring schlock-and-"aw" value...
Expensive, derivative, poorly-shot-directed-acted-written claptrap, but og so much fun!

11. Joe Dirt
I've seen it twice and laughed and laughed each time. My kids call me the movie snob and were shocked, SHOCKED to find out I loved Joe Dirt.

12. That's Joe Dirt'e
That is one of those movies that is surprisingly funny!

I got the poo!

(especially when he was in the hot-air balloon and the 747 pilots mooned him, that was hilarious!)

13. This movie called "Clifford", starring Martin Short.
I doubt many have seen it, I actually caught it on some cable channel years ago and instantly fell in love with it. Charles Grodin and Mary Steenburgen are in it as well. It's strange, but surprisingly funny -- Martin Short totally sells it. I'm such a nerd.

15. Wahaha Clifford is a great movie!
Grodin is the perfect straight-man foil for Shorts lunatic child shtick.

I think all those horrible 'Problem Child' movies were just bad copies of Clifford.

14. Rambo
I find one man against an entire army inspirational.

Same goes for First Blood.

Rambo III was just crap, although ironic, since it was the Taliban he was fighting with. Heh. The enemy of my enemy is my friend!

Edited on Sat Jul-12-03 04:51 AM by ThirdWheelLegend
I used to cry watching that. Well I was like 11, but anyway...! :P

My favorite now? Hmm, Meet the Feebles is kind of not something you would want people to know you like. :)

23. I second that
Generally I'm immune to manipulative pulling of my heartstrings but that one got past my defenses.

25. My mom would agree

For me, its The Sweetest Thing. Hard to admit you like a chick flick when you're a big guy like myself....
