Guilty Pleasure Movies
 
This is very similar to the thread in the video game forums, but of course deals with movies.

These are movies you enjoy even though the popular vote is that they suck or aren't that great.

Personally for me, one of my picks would have to be
http://www.amazon.com/Covenant-Steve...3538608&sr=8-1

This is a movie where even the concept sounds bad, but I actually enjoyed it a great deal. But it has everything going against it from cliched plot to bad acting.

Galaxy Quest
Road to El Dorado
I'll have to think about it.

Halloween Series (I guess technically I don't like them all, but I own them all)
The Exorcist III (just stay away from part 2)
Dear Wendy (Introduced me to The Zombies)
The Cell (It's at least got some good eye candy)
Silent Hill...

Good times...

I liked that one too. Especially the end.

Jurassic Park deserves so much better than a mere 7.7. I've seen that movie over a hundred times, no kidding.

Jurassic Park hardly seems like it'd be a guilty pleasure...

Jurassic Park 3, maybe...
Liking The Lost World more than Jurassic Park, maybe...
But not Jurassic Park itself...

Hmm I like this... buuut I'll have to think about it, nothing comes straight to mind.

It's not the same, but I can think of a bunch of movies that are so bad they're good.

Mitchell, which Mystery Science Theater panned oh so well, and Halloween 3: Season of the Witch. That's the one Mr. John Carpenter decided to break the Halloween formula and create one without Michael Meyers. I applaud the effort, but the plot was so bad and the Tom Atkins acting so bad it appropriately bombed at the box office, and thankfully is so funny to watch that a drinking game was formed around it. Haha just reading the plot synopsis "A large Halloween mask-making company has plans to kill millions of American children with something sinister hidden in Halloween masks" makes me chuckle.

I would also like to add

40 Days and 40 Nights

It's actually one of my favorite comedies.

I would hope that the Gremlins series wouldn't be count as bad movies, but if they are, I love them anyway.

Gremlins 1 was good, 2 was awful. It sucked that they didn't take themselves seriously anymore.

I actually feel the exact reverse about it...I'm glad they got goofy as hell about the second one. Made it pretty classic to me.

Big Trouble in Little China - B movie classic.

Monster Squad - I have the SE DVD

Masters of the Universe - Dolph Lundren as He-Man... nuff said.

G.I. Joe the Movie - Its a movie and Cobra Commander was in it. Classic.

Troll - It has a troll and a young, hot Julia Louise Dreyfus

Legend - Debateable whether I should feel guilty or not, but I do.

Beast Master - Requires no explanation.



HM - Dragon slayer (I think its actually considered good) and the Prophecy (once again, I think its a good film)
