Guilty Pleasure Movies — Page 2

I have to second Spice World. An impromptu showing of it on HBO inspired my friends and me to be the Spice Girls for Halloween.

I also know Zoolander word for word.

I relish bad movies

Someone like Ed Wood was dedicated to his art & though his movies will be remembered for their stunning ineptitude, he tried while working on a showstring. His movies stand the test of time for all the wrong reasons

BASEketball. It's so dumb, but it makes me laugh until I hiccup.
And I love MST3K treatments of awful movies. Especially Manos: The Hands of Fate.

I've got TONS of guilty pleasure movies:

Lost Horizon (Burt Bacharach's musical version)
Pufnstuf (with Mama Cass)
Dead Ringer (with Bette Davis as twins)
The Day Dreamer (Rankin Bass)
Mad Monster Party (Rankin Bass)
Mr. North (Anthony Edwards, Angelica Huston)
The Legend of 1900 (Tim Roth)
The Phantom Tollbooth (Butch Patrick)
Exorcist II: The Heretic (Linda Blair, Richard Burton)
Burnt Offerings (Karen Black, Oliver Reed)
I Was A Shoplifter (Mona Freeman, Andrea King)
Dreamchild (Coral Browne, Ian Holm)
Pippi Longstocking (Inger Nilsson)
Scrooge (Albert Finney)
Camp
Exorcist III (George C. Scott, Brad Dourif)
From Hell (Johnny Depp, Heather Graham)
Munster, Go Home (Fred Gwynne, Yvonne De Carlo)
The Pirates of Penzance (Kevin Kline, Linda Ronstadt)
Valley of the Dolls (Patty Duke)
Written on the Wind (Dorothy Malone, Lauren Bacall)
Peyton Place (Lana Turner, Diane Varsi)
Picnic (William Holden, Kim Novak)
Father Frost (Russian)
The Blue Bird (Shirley Temple)
Somewhere In Time (Christopher Reeve, Jane Seymour)
The Poseidon Adventure (Shelley Winters, Gene Hackman)
The Towering Inferno (Paul Newman, Steve McQueen)


That's enough embarrassment, right there.

Most of mine are kids movies or horror movies. I wonder what that says about me?

*don't answer that*

Mine aren’t just indulgences, they are must-see-must-own!!!

1.) Martha Inc.
(Starring Cybil Shepard in her best comedic role. If you haven't picked hit camp classic up on DVD, do it soon before it disappears forever. I watch this with my best friend at least once a month.)

2.) BOOM!
(I love when Liz Taylor pushes the Martian Baby Carriage over the edge. Sadly it's only on VHS).

3.) Don’t' Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead
(This movie has everything but a musical number.)

3.) Female Trouble
(The name says it all, and it's John Water's best early work.)


*Bonus Holiday film "The Worst Witch" check out this 80s masterpiece if you have time this Halloween!

Songcatcher is a great movie.

Pat Carroll deserved an oscar nod.

Aiden Quinn was never sexier.

The music is terrific!

They're fools, folky

How about "Romancing the Bone?"

"Forrest Hump"
"Drill Bill"

---

The Sopornos
The Sopornos, part II

I glean some sort of morbid glee from these movies:

Center Stage
Heavyweights - this one is not so guilty.
Deep Blue Sea
Kindergarten Cop
The Phantom of the Opera - I am referring to the 80s version that starred Robert "Freddy Krueger" Englund himself. It's an utter riot. Hell, most versions of this story are.


And I am an MST3K freak, but I have no guilt about that whatsoever. The fact that I've watched an unedited version of Manos: The Hands of Fate for fun, maybe. But not that.

I have to post this again, I was gonna put up a thread on it but I forgot.

Boom! Is like the best camp movie ever. The screenplay is Tennessee Williams and based on his play "The Milk Train Does not Stop Here Anymore!" and he said that it is the best film adaptation of his work.

You have to see to believe it! Anyone else see this film?
