Film Guilty Pleasures

[Robster59]

Following on from the TV guilty pleasures, what are your film ones? The ones you like but are embarrassed to mention for whatever reason.
For me there are a few but I would say Notting Hill as it's more of a chick flick that I always enjoy. I'm sure I'll add some more as we go along.
Here's a thing that may give you some hints.
BBC Inside Cinema - Guilt Free Pleasures
Warning: Contains some strong language, explicit sexual content and some violence.

 

[GreiginFife]

On Deadly Ground. One of Steven Segal's best worst films. So bad it's good.

Michael Caine in a role he probably (read, definitely) regrets, looking bewildered as to why he is even there.
John C McGinley playing a parody of a comic book villain.
Joan Chen probably wondering why she used that agent.

Self directed so it gave Segal the license to just do what ever the hell he wanted and dialogue so bad it would make a cringe, cringe.

An Eco message about saving the planet juxtaposed by blowing large chunks out of said planet.

It's got everything, including a mystical dream sequence that no amount of LSD could either a) bring on or b) match.

But jesus chrsito, it's fantastic in it's terribleness.

Love Actually, especially sometime in December, pre xmas.
Any kids film, I love animated stuff, Despicable me, Toy story, Cars, All disney etc etc.

 

[Pathetic Shark]

Seeing as I am watching Iron Man whilst I work and type this ......

Four Weddings and a Funeral - absolutely love it.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - and I still have a crush on Truly Scrumptious.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Sound of Music....and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (quite possibly for same reason as @PS)

And despite dated attitudes in many things...Road to Bali ; The Paleface and Son of Paleface

These old Bob Hope films have a special place in my affections as I used to watch them with my dad - he was especially a fan of Dorothy Lamour, and Jane Russell was certainly all girl - and we did laugh.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Based on the way times have moved on I guess the Carry On films come into this bracket now. They still make me laugh.

 

[Whereditgo]

The Holiday - always on around Christmas time and a corny, feel good film.

 

[SaintHacker]

I'm a big fan of the British rom com films Loce Actually, Notting Hill, Bridget Jones etc

The Goonies has been on sky recently and comes with a warning about outdated and offensive attitudes. So I guess that’s a guilty pleasure for me then.

There is quite a lot in that category now. Any western which is cowboy and native American? I love a western

My Father in Law loves his westerns and nearly all of them now come with a disclaimer before they start.

 

[Orikoru]

Mean Girls - I think it's really funny. Certainly Lindsay Lohan's best work.

Megamind - it's a cartoon but honestly one of mine and my wife's favourite films. Very funny - and arguably Will Ferrell's best work. ?

Exactly how high / low is that bar?

 

[Orikoru]

Haha yea that part was a joke, but the film is funny. Written by Tina Fey I think who then wrote the 30 Rock series.

 

[SatchFan]

Shrek
Despicable Me

 

[Deleted member 1147]

Starship Troopers

Gross Point Blank

Southland Tales

 

[Sats]

Commando - Arnie the 1 man army and the one liners

80's Jackie Chan - Wheels on Meals/ armour of god/ police story etc

Overboard - Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn

 

[harpo_72]

Talladega nights
Sat on the plane to some race crying with laughter... it was so close to the reality ?

Mon oncle and other Jacque Tati Monsier Hulot

Then anything semi violent adventure

 

[Boomy]

Love Actually and Home Alone

IS that the one where Michael Caine has his hair dyed as really bad dark black colour.
