Guilty Pleasures

You just said you did.

A comedian. I can’t blame ya. This is a situation I’d take advantage of too.

Justin, I’d be willing to pick a different name. I think you were here before me, anyway. Oh, and I forgot another guilty pleasure – John Waters.

Put a number after one of ‘em. That’ll fix it.

I’m Justin Biberkopf now.

Problem solved! Thanks.

I take it you haven’t seen Satan’s Sadist’s? How about Manos?

You’re welcome. I have seen both of those. Russ Tamblyn made for a pretty hellacious biker. Manos or the Hands of Fate is beyond human description. It’s literally just random shots of people staring into space. If memory serves me correctly. I have the Re:Search edition, Incredibly Strange Films, it’s a treasure trove of low-budget, subversive freakouts. Herschell Gordon Lewis rates pretty highly with me. Some of the dialogue from She Devils on Wheels is just indelible. As is the razor wire clotheslining at the end. And also 2,000 Maniacs. Finally, if you ever run across a drive-in flick called Fireball Jungle, snatch it up. A severely alcoholic Lon Chaney Jr. (I mean, I think he died right after this film was made) mumbles and slurs through a role as a junkyard proprietor; while the “higher class” members of the cast convene in a strange bar called the Throne Room, where — you guessed it — all the seats are toilets. I shit you not. Damn they had some pretty good drugs back then.

I think I liked it better when you guys were the same person. There’s too much harmony here.

secret window

Ice Castles and The Big Chill….there, I’ve said it, phwew

MR. BASEBALL – I truly enjoy that film.

Roadhouse – the Patrick Swayze one. i can watch that movie over and over.
Point Break is a fun one also.

i sure hope Swayze is tough enough to kick the sh*t out of the cancer.
Live Strong Swayze! You Can Do It!

this is a beautiful fucking thread, really quite beautiful. bringing out the love for film it is, a wonderful change from all the arguing and stuck up horse shit that floods these forums.

i dont have any guilty pleasures, but i suppose there are flicks ppl here wouldnt take kindly to… sooooo——

all of em are fucking great

The whole Young and Dangerous series, that shit was fuckin’ awesome and still fuckin’ awesome. Hung Hing Boys for life…. Most you probably don’t even know what I’m talking about.

The Bodyguard.

Not sure if I’ll be taken seriously on here again.

Guilty pleasure? You bet. I can’t understand why nobody listed these.

Attack of The 50 foot Woman
CHUD
Godzilla versus the Smog Monster
Humanoids from the Deep
Plan 9 from Outer Space
Rock N’ Roll High school
The Big Chill
The Creeping Terror
The Crawling Eye
The Hideous Sun Demon
Them!
The Horror of party Beach
They Saved Hitler’s Brain

Need I say more?

Just all the titles from an “All-Night Bad Film Festival”, I guess.

No secret Uwe Boll fans have been outed?

The Matrix Trilogy
Running Man
Lady Hawke
Enemy Mine
The Lost Boys
Nightmare on Elm St.
-All 80’s Horror Movies Actually
The Toxic Avenger

I’m not guilty of anything.

Some crappy martial arts films. When I was like 11 or 12 I loved Jackie Chan movies.

Drunken Master
Project A
Police Story

And Sonny Chiba’s movies.
Street Fighter (series)
Champion of Death

Even now I’ll still watch them. I even like the movies that make fun of the martial arts genre.

Stuff like…
Kung Pow: Enter the Fist
Kung Fu Hustle (I even dragged my poor mother to see this in theatres when it came out).

I realize that some martial arts directors, and filmmakers (Zhang Yimou, King Hu, etc…) are actually extremely talented, but these are just some of the lesser films I love.

definitely Love actually
that i think it’s really a great sentimental-comedy
his “fault” for somebody may just be the genre

along came polly, great in his genre

meet the parents and its sequel

my god… zohan

tropic thunder is real fun

maybe the heartbreak kid

the really strange “click”, i cant tell if i liked it

not afraid (though yes, a bit ashamed) to admit: The Man in the Iron Mask

ACROSS THE UNIVERSE – I found it visually stunning, had wonderful performances, and a great soundtrack.

Robocop
In Her Shoes
Stranger Than Fiction
Hors De Prix

Mesa of Lost Women is the main one that springs to mind. And Bava’s Beyond the Door 2 (AKA Shock).

Peter Jackson’s King Kong and ofcourse Jackie Chan.

Creature from the Black Lagoon

Them

Equinox is one of my favorite Criterion’s

… and of course the great William Castle. Joy buzzers planted in the theater seats? The guy was a genius.

Children Shouldn’t Play with Dead Things

1-) Bachelor Party (Neal Israel, 1984)
2-) Police Academy (Hugh Wilson, 1984)
3-) Commando (Mark Lester, 1985)
4-) Predator (John Mc Tiernan, 1987)
5-) The Goonies (Richard Donner, 1985)
6-) Forrest Gump (Robert Zemeckis, 1994)
7-) Crocodile Dundee (Peter Faiman, 1986)

Just saw THREE AMIGOS again. Despite the painfully sentimental, John Landis ending, I loved it. Martin Short and Steve Martin are funny guys.

The DIRTY HARRY films, too. THE ENFORCER is incredibly well-crafted, don’t know why it doesn’t have a better reputation. Guess that’s part of what makes it “guilty.”
