Movies you are embarrassed to admit you love

I love the topics that ask what film you love or hate. But what about the movies you know are not that good but you secretly like.

 

I have a massive collection of "so bad they are good " movies such as Plan Nine from Outer Space etc but these are forgivable.

 

What Im looking for are those who admit to liking films they are actually embarrassed by- I actually enjoy watching (deep breath, head shaking and placed in the open palms of my hands).... Batman and Robin!!!! There I have said it and realise what an admission of guilt this is.

 

Also I have an affection for The Black Hole (Disney version) but hey, MAximillian was one cool robot (wasnt he??????)

 

AVP- It wasnt as bad as people say , really!..... Ok I will end it there as I feel Im possibly alienating people.

 

Please share and hopefully I wont be the only one who has come out of this particular closet!!!

I'm never ashamed of anything I like, but there is one in particular I've mentioned on here a couple of times that most might think is bad, if they've seen it, lol! It's a really tame 80s horror movie called Chopping Mall, which is basically robots who act as security guards in a shopping centre going haywire and start killing people who have stayed behind after closing. If anyone's not seen it, track it down, though it is regarded as terrible, lol! :D

Blues Brothers 2000 is only so-so (certainly not a patch on the brilliance of the original), but I like it for the music.

 

Where the Buffalo Roam is a bit of a car wreck of a film, but Bill Murray's portrayal of Hunter S Thompson makes it woirth watching if you've ever enjoyed HST's books.

 

O.C. and Stiggs is a shallow adaptation of a number of articles in National Lampoon magazie, primarily the entire October '82 issue ("The Utterly Monstrous and Mind-Roasting Summer of O.C. and Stiggs."), but I'm glad somebody (Altman) at least tried to make a movie out of it. Dennis Hopper plays "crazed Vietnam vet Howard Sponson" in what also might be seen as a pastiche of so many roles Hopper played at that time :-)

I love The Blues Brothers, and I whole heartedly agree that Blues Brothers 2000 is not a patch on the original. But this film was made as a homage to John Belushi, Cab Calloway and John Candy. The music was superb and the end jam was mind blowing.

 

I can listen to this music all day long.

Whats wrong with Godzilla unless you mean the dire American thing with Matthew Broderick, that should never be spoken of!

I love the Godzilla films (well most Toho studios stuff is great). They are all entertaining, even the really bad ones are great for a laugh.

Actually I know (and appreciate why) that '98 version of Godzilla is reviled by fans of the original Japanese monster, but I have a soft spot for it as an untaxing and amusing piece of light entertainment.

I just got round to watching Sucker Punch which got loads of bad reviews. Personally though, I really enjoyed it :frankie:

I have to say that I really enjoyed Sucker Punch as well, but my favourite movie ever since I was 5 years old, which I can still laugh at today is Spaceballs, it's just got a universal appeal that everyone from 4 years upwards can laugh at.
