What's your favorite, late night, mindless movie?

[bif]

You know, the one you watch after a couple beers, and your not quite ready to hit the kip. Mine is "Waterworld". A pretty good movie if you eliminate the professor and his hot airship bits.

[MissMillie]

1. well, it's only mindless because I know it by heart

but "The Hunt for Red October"



but I also like "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan"

[rrneck]

2. Hellboy II

The Fifth Element
Starship Troopers
Aliens


Uh, I better stop now...

[GCP]

3. Point Break

How could you not like a movie with Gary Busey, Keanu, Patrick Swayze, sky diving and surfing?
And Keanu plays an FBI agent called Johnny Utah.

4. Something About Mary...

and just caught The Sweetest Thing, which wasn't nearly as good but had a few good laughs and was better than I remembered. Laughs=good. :)

[Skittles]

5. Return of the Living Dead (1985)

got in in a bargain bin for a couple of bucks; it never fails to make me laugh :D

[proteus_lives]

20. One of the greatest movies of all time.

80's perfection.

[lillypaddle]

6. Jaws, of course!

Wow, I love it that you mentioned "Water World." I saw that recently and ordered it for my kid & his wife. He hasn't watched it yet. I thought it was really cool!

But yeah, Jaws. It's great to fall asleep to. :)

7. Throw Momma From the Train

"I dreamt Louis Armstrong was trying to kill me!"

[Mad_Dem_X]

13. "The night was sultry."

:D

[Richardo]

14. "This is like the Flintstones' car wash!"

[Initech]

8. Pretty much any Broken Lizard flick. Beerfest, Super Troopers, you name it.

[sarge43]

9. Hot Shots, Part Deux n/t

[Maccagirl]

10. Mommie Dearest

It's a real guilty pleasure.

[bif]

11. That would be a good one!

[Mad_Dem_X]

12. OMG, yes. n/t

[carlyhippy]

27. Good one!.......

I actually have the Mommie Dearest book, and it's autographed by Christina Crawford.

[mitchum]

30. Great choice!

I watched it again last week

[Forkboy]

15. Any Godzilla movie works perfectly.

[LanternWaste]

16. Weird coincidence... mine is The Postman.

Weird coincidence... mine is The Postman.

17. A Few Good Men

It's always on and I always watch it. The biggest plot hole ... actually there are a couple.

1) Downey revealing on the stand that he didn't personally hear the Code Red order from Kendrick. It's extremely hard to believe that this wouldn't have been discovered during pre-trial preparation.

2) Kaffee trapping Jessup. Jessup's entire testimony is built on the supposition that while men usually follow orders, the defendants obviously did not. It's the entire basis for covering up the fact that he gave the Code Red order. Jessup went into that courtroom intending to tell a tale: that these were bad marines and violated a direct order.

3) Dawson refusing to salute Kaffee. This is just normal movie BS. Aside from the fact that Dawson is a prisoner and therefore not permitted to salute anyone, In the Navy/Marines you don't salute indoors and/or uncovered. Kaffe would have known this.

But I still watch it. Every damned time.

[Sweet Freedom]

18. Speed or Tombstone

[Orsino]

19. Kelly's Heroes n/t

[JTG of the PRB]

21. Starship Troopers or Independence Day.

Not necessarily late-night movies, but certainly mindless in their own ways.

[mitchum]

22. Caligula

[blm]

25. heheh

.

[mitchum]

28. If you're gonna really mess up your career...

it may as well be in a one-of-a-kind spectacle

I'm always torn between Caligula and Mandingo as to which is the most wonderfully horrible...uh...uh...epic of all time.
Don't make me choose!

[Gidney N Cloyd]

23. Any of the old gangster movies. w/ Bogart/Cagney/Robinson/etc.

[blm]

24. Galaxy Quest

heh

[carlyhippy]

26. Foxes, the 80's movie with Jodi Foster, Cheri Currie, Scott Baio

I saw it on the other night, love that movie, it's sad at the end, tho.

[elleng]

29. My Cousin Vinnie!

(NOT mindless, tho!)

[name not needed]

31. Road House
