Movies you hate to admit you LOVE?

[blondeatlast]

Trashed by the critics and your snob friends but you can't resist them anyway...

Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion is one for me.

[skypilot]

1. "Dogma"

I've hated everything else Kevin Smith has done and alot of people seem to have hated this movie but I adore it.

[blondeatlast]

4. I loved it too!

I consider myself a Christian and I think it was great.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

34. DOGMA was the BEST movie...

Kevin Smith is genius.
Duckie

[proud2BlibKansan]

81. Dogma is a great movie!!

One of the best religious commentaries ever.

[crispini]

2. Ok, I fess up, I really enjoyed "Soul Plane"

That was some seriously funny shit.

[blondeatlast]

7. Sheesh--okay, I fess up. I thought I'd despise it, but I had a serious

stomachache from laughing so hard.

[crispini]

12. The tricked out plane that bounced up and down?

So. Funny.

[Jessica]

3. I can't believe I'm going to admit to this, but...

I Am Sam. Despite its one-star rating, it made me cry & I loved it - and the soundrack was great.

[IronLionZion]

55. yup, i loved it too

I thought it was so cute

[LSparkle]

5. All your choices pale in comparison with mine ...

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. (I'm sorry, I never miss a chance to catch these when they're on cable.)

[GRLMGC]

22. Willie Wonka is great n/t

[commander bunnypants]

6. Awakenings

one of the best

CB

[Kikosexy2]

8. War...

of the Gargantuas? The Ultimate cheesey monsters-trash-Japan movies ever. How can one beat a cheesey, bad female chanteuse who sings a really dumb song such as "The Words Get Stuck in My Throat" and then gets eaten by the "bad" gargantua? And it stars Russ Tamblyn (of West Side Story fame). There's also "Hot Rods to Hell"--ultimate B movie with the classic line "Don't take the car! You'll kill yourself!" Bad teenage angst movie and I love it! Anyone for "Faster PUssycat, Kill, Kill" or "Pink Flamingos"?

[AllegroRondo]

9. Escape from New York

Snake Pliskin? I heard you were dead!

[Ekirh]

10. The Big Hit

I think that is what it's called. Friends hate it... For some reason it amuses the hell out of me.

[Abelman]

23. Hilarious

I love that movie. It has such a dry sardonic wit to it.

[Beaverhausen]

11. Overboard with Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell

so silly but I can watch it a zillion times!!!

[AlCzervik]

31. baa baba ba baba

everytime it's tuns on tbs or usa i watch it.

[jdots]

13. Rocky & Bullwinkle

hey fuck off if you didn't like it okay, fearless leader saying " you talkin to me ? " was funny. " Earth Girls are Easy "
Jan Micheal Vincent in " Hamlet " that was superb !

[blondeatlast]

14. Okay--my sick, twisted, guilty pleasure is "The Money Pit."

The part where Tom Hanks is trapped in the collapsed floor.

"Ruthless People" is another. The scene at the money drop: "They're from the NRA. They're here to help you..."

Tears, every time.

[Beaverhausen]

20. I like Money Pit too!!!

I love that long scene...you know the one...the one where Tom hanks ends up in the fountain.

[mark11727]

46. When we were first looking for a house

EVERYONE we knew suggested we watch MONEY PIT.

Best scene (for us, any way):

The exploding kitchen, followed by the flying roast turkey, followed by the pop-up thermometer popping out, followed by the collapsing bathroom floor (...or something like that).

[gollygee]

15. The Three Amigos

I laugh every time i watch that movie. LOL

[Abelman]

24. Awesome movie

Well loved mostly by groups of three friends, but classic anyway.

[McKenzie]

16. probably Repo Man...

I loved it...apparently the critics were less enthusiastic. But I like Alex Cox's work.

[orpupilofnature57]

48. Repo man ruled! Emilio's best movie,harry dean Stanton.VINTAGE

[lumberingbear]

68. What ever happened to Emilio???

He made those "Duck" movies and then was gone.

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

62. Best. Soundtrack. Ever.

[MaryH]

17. I love the Cheech and Chong stuff

There is a scene where Cheech and Chong are sitting in a car smoking this giant joint (like a cigar) and the car is full of smoke. And then you find out they are sitting still on the edge of the road. Well, you have to be there. But I laugh until I'm sick. I guess because that one scene is so right on when it comes to being stoned.

[RoundRockD]

18. The Mothman Prophecies. Don't ask me why, I just like it. n/t

[donheld]

19. Pollyanna

[terrya]

21. "The Bigger, The Better"

The critics trashed it...but *I* think Rick "Humongous" Donovan turned in the performance of the year. A powerful, stimulating film experience.

[pres2032]

25. 10 things I hate about you

funny funny movie!

[mac56]

26. "That Thing You Do!"

nm

[Beaverhausen]

30. Oh my god! That movie is the best

i dont' know why it didn't do better.

[truthbetold]

49. "The Cable Guy"

Horribly underrated Jim Carrey movie. "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" was wonderful too, but overlooked a lot.

[chelsea0011]

27. Women behind bars. I love the gendre.

[Abelman]

28. The Hell?

Some of these movies weren't trashed by critics at all, and a few are movie snob standbys - Dogma is one. I'm pretty sure critics loved it.

Anyway, for me, an embarrassing movie is "Can't Hardly Wait." I think it's hilarious as all hell.

[Tony_Illinois]

29. "Soapdish"

Sally Field, Robert Downey, Jr., Whoppi Goldberg, Kathy Moriarty...
Intentionally shallow and cheap--but somehow terribly amusing.

[Beaverhausen]

36. Very funny! Don't forget Kevin Kline was in it. He is always entertaining

[Tony_Illinois]

38. Yes---Mr. Loman

[blondeatlast]

47. The last movie I saw with my mom and late father.

I NEVER heard my dad laugh so hard in his life.

What a memory that brings back.

[Tony_Illinois]

53. I Am Happy This Silly Thread Brought That Joy to You

[Jack_Dawson]

32. Titanic - Great Flick!

Dontcha think?

[Gryffindor_Bookworm]

33. All five Chucky movies.

:evilgrin:

[SmokingJacket]

35. Paint Your Wagon.

The 1968 or '70 one.

Jean Seberg was the greatest.

[Liberalynn]

37. All Four

Lethal Weapons.

Love Riggs, just not Mel any more.

[jbane]

39. Billy Jack and the original Walking Tall.

[Harry S Truman]

40. breaker-breaker!

The original Smokey & the Bandit - Gleason was just outstanding.

"That there is evidence - valuable evidence - that's gonna convict a maniac."

"Now don't go playin' with yourself - it don't look good on my highways."

[Twillig]

52. "The fact that you are a sheriff is not germane to the situation.."

"The goddam Germans got nothing to do with it!"

"What we're dealing with here is a complete lack of respect for the law."

I love that movie.

[CornField]

41. She's All That & Better Off Dead

I just love those pointless movies with semi-bad acting.

Actually, I think I love Better Off Dead for the Camero.

[AlCzervik]

42. "It's a shame throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that"

[CornField]

51. It's pure snow! Do you know the street value of this mountain?

[maveric]

43. Cabin Boy.

It was silly and lowbrow but it cracked me up.
Chris Eliiot is very underrated IMO.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

44. howard the duck

i know it's wretched, but i grew up with it

hell, if nothing else, it's a very early appearance by tim robbins

[Bleacher Creature]

45. Con Air

Steve Buscemi's line always cracks me up:

"Define irony....bunch of idiots dancing on a plane to a song made famous by a band that died in a plane crash."

[stupid grin]

50. Weekend at Bernie's

[kittycat1164]

72. never laughed so hard in my life

that guy deserved an oscar! I'll have to get that this weekend and watch it again. Thanks for the reminder!

[IronLionZion]

54. mean girls, princess diaries, 13 going on 30

I'm a sucker for girlie movies and you all are the only ones who know!

man, if my real-world friends found out...:hurts: :scared:

[OhioChick]

56. I'm embarrassed to admit this....

Dumb and Dumber

[Castilleja]

65. Dumb and Dumber is one of my favorites!

Glad I am not the only one. I love about half the movies in this thread.

[Scrooge]

82. me too!!

It was so stupid, but so much fun to "veg" and go along with it.

[More Than A Feeling]

57. Starship Troopers

Such a horrible movie, an absolute slander to the book, but nonetheless, I love it.

[Shadowen]

58. Daredevil.

Matrix Revolutions, or at least the Dragonball Z ripoff fight scene.

Both Blade movies.

Mallrats.

[fluffernutter]

59. Dirty Dancing, Urban Cowboy and Grease.

[politicat]

60. Blast from the Past and So I married an Ax Murderer

They're both contrived, silly romantic comedies that owe far more to 30's Screwball than anyone realizes, but they're so adorable.

Fraser and Silverstone play off of each other so beautifully, and really, the dialogue is a near perfect update of that witty, fast Screwball pacing. And the supporting cast was very good.

I'm not a Mike Myers fan in general - I like So I married and Shrek. (I despise Austin Powers) but this one is a guilty pleasure.

Pcat

[ScreamingMeemie]

61. I thought Titanic was a great movie, I love Gone With the Wind, Benny and

Joon is the most underrated movie of all time, and Mean Girls had me giggling. :hi:

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

63. The 2nd Brady Bunch

Laughed HYSTERICALLY!!

[Glenda]

64. Deuce Bigelow: Male Gigalo !!

I should be embarassed, but I'm not. So there! :) :) :)

[Left Is Write]

66. Dumb And Dumber.

[RevolutionaryActs]

67. Ice Castles...

I also think the girls boyfriend in it, is cute.

Is that wrong?

[lumberingbear]

69. "Dick Tracy"

I loved the "cartoon" style background and lighting.

[ikojo]

70. Yentl....I know I must be the only DUer who loves

this movie...I wish it would come out on DVD.

Also Liberty Heights...I suppose some of the critics liked this one, after all it's a Barry Levinson movie. Adrian Brody is also in it.

[Politicub]

71. Adventures in Baby Sitting

I LOVE that movie -- scary, huh?

"Don't fuck with the lords of hell"

"Don't fuck with the babysitter"

[Cush]

73. Thor!

[SarahB]

74. Coal Miner's Daughter

I think it's so inspiring and kind of sweet, but I really dislike country music, so I don't often admit to it.

[sans qualia]

75. Dune

Yes, the David Lynch version. Please don't hurt me. :scared:

[lizzieforkerry]

76. The one where Robin Williams has to find his wife in hell.

I just forgot the name of it as I hit reply, but I really love that movie and it seemed like everyone else hated it.

[sans qualia]

77. What Dreams May Come

I liked it too. :yourock:

[lizzieforkerry]

80. Thank you! That was a weird mental thing!!

I think I will go rent it again..it has been awhile since I have seen it.

[qnr]

78. Ishtar, Waterworld, The Postman

Well, "love" might be too strong, but I sure seem to like them a heck of a lot more than most people.

[proud2BlibKansan]

79. Funny Girl

Saw it as a teenager and still just love it.

[Liberalynn]

83. Forgot Kull The Conqueror

Okay so the plot was dumb. I was in lust with Kevin Sorbo at that point and would have watched him read the phone book. Those eyes, that hair, those muscles, <sigh>
