Guilty Pleasures: Movie You're Ashamed to Admit You Like

Post Reply New Topic

The Human Centipede movies. They're unintentional comedy at its finest, especially the second one.

It's really not so much guilt or shame as just plain embarrassment if other people knew, there's a difference. Like if I felt really bad because I hurt somebody, that's guilt, but If I like something that's considered weird even though I'm not hurting anyone or myself, that's embarrassing.

I once admitted to my mom that The Dr. Phil Show was one of my guilty pleasures. It used to be anyway, I hardly ever watch it any more. And of course it's not a movie.

Apparently, I should be ashamed to admit I like Disney or animated movies in general, even though they're usually meant for all ages.

Real Housewives of Atlanta.

I'm ashamed to admit I like "Water World" and "The Postman", both starring Kevin Costner. They aren't my favorite movies ever, but I do like them. Most people seem to think they're awful.

Also, "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". I like that movie.

Yellow Slippers ( Story of the Gold Boot )

It is a film that was on Kukla Fran and Ollie when I was a child. I finally found a copy of it last year.

Also, Episodes 1 through 3 of Star Wars... I find Jar Jar amusing. Don't hate me.

I've seen The Postman and liked as well. I liked Waterworld too.

Waterworld and The Postman are perfectly fine movies that were sabotaged by critics who were sharpening their knives before the films were even released. No shame in liking those.

Super Mario Bros. would probably be a considerable cult classic today were it not for the video game connection. It's easily one of the more successful and interesting Blade Runner rip-offs.

Leprechaun 4: In Space. This film broke me. This is the weakest of the Leprechaun films and I haven't seen 5, 6, or Origins yet. This film is so bad it had me dropping to my knees laughing. I had myself held together and then came "Mittenspider" and then I just lost it. I've seen Bride and Seed of Chucky, I've seen Halloween 6, I've seen Friday the 13th Part V through VIII, I've seen Nightmare On Elm Street 2, and Leprechaun 4 is the film to break me.

Starship Troopers


There's also this other movie I like a lot, it's not considered bad by anyone, but it's about a really sensitive subject matter.
It's called Shame

Back in 1985, Jackie Chan made a movie with James Glickenhaus called The Protector. It was an early attempt by Chan to achieve success with an American audience. Glickenhaus's ideas were different, to be put it mildly. He made Chan's protagonist a foul-mouthed Dirty Harry-esque cop, and threw in gratuitous nudity and slow motion for good measure. The film is mean-spirited, the action scenes are amateurishly handled, and the Peckinpah-style violence borders on ludicrous. Despite these reason, or possibly because of them, I find it to be a riot.

I hope to completely watch a Molly Ringwald movie called For Keeps? It came out in 1988, around the time Ringwald's status as a hot up-and-coming property (no pun intended) started to wane after her acrimonious split with John Hughes. The film is basically an attempt by her to win an Oscar, and from what I've seen, it shows. When she's not downplaying her part, she is mercilessly hamming it up with a vengeance. She smashes phones against receivers, tosses stuff all over the room, and sheds tears like Niagara Falls, all while incomprehensibly screaming at the top of her lungs. If there is such a thing as a Ringwaldian melodrama, this is it.

I laughed so hard that I hurt for a few hours after the film was finished.
