Guilty movie pleasures

[Eugenio]

Anyone see the movie Knights of Badassdom before? Its absolutely ridiculous, not smart at all, nor is it in any way groundbreaking...but did I have fun watching it.

Plus, it has this:

What are some of your other movie guilty pleasures for days when you just don't want to think, and enjoy something fun?

The Blob must be one of the worst B movies of all time.

 

[BHebert]

Check out "Nutria Man". It was made local. A mutated nutria goes around killing people.

 

[passedpawn]

This is Spinal Tap, Napolean Dymomite, and Dumb and Dumber come to mind. I love them and they're pretty stupid.

 

[BHebert]

There's stupid and stupid funny. I like stupid funny. Love Airplane.

 

[trussell]

The Kentucky Fried Movie, Airplane and This is Spinal Tap. Then throw in the Troma's The Class of Nuke 'Em High and Troma's War.

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil is a great send up of horror movie tropes, I highly recommend it.

Is that Peter Dinklage?

I'd have to say Tremors, 1 & 2 at least. After that it just gets too stupid.

Also, the Naked Gun series. I tried to get my wife to watch, and she just looked at me like I was an idiot. She only tolerated Airplane.

I think Napoleon Dynamite is wickedly smart in a subversive kind of way. Plus its hilarious.

My confession is that I am drawn to any science fiction or comic-based movie regardless of how well made it is or not. At this point, my wife just prefers to stay home and I go watch it by myself or with my youngest, if I can talk him into it.

I guess the last really good bad movie I saw was Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier. Man, was that dumb. But I liked it.

And I'd add in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure to the list.

 

[gratus fermentatio]

I'll add in Time Bandits, and some that you might not expect, but they're some of my favs: The Quiet Man, The Secret of Roan Innish, The 13th Warrior.
I'll put on a DVD, curl up on the couch with a snack & a beer and just relax, zone-out & enjoy the movie. Often I'll nod off & have a short nap while watching. They're not boring movies, it's just that I've seen them all many, many times & they provide something familiar, comfortable & enjoyable.

My other "guilty movie pleasure" is this: Every couple of years, I'll go to the theater & make a day of it. I'll watch movie after movie, starting when they open & taking a break for lunch, then back for more movies. Sometimes I'll take a break for supper & then go back for 1 last movie, but usually after supper it's home, drinks & an evening of female companionship.
Regards, GF.

Is that Peter Dinklage?

Yes he is, he makes the movie.

 

[Brew_Dude41]

The princess bride is one of our go to movies on a blah day. Yes, it is a sickening sweet love story, but some the dialog is just so funny.
Army of darkness is great bad movie as well.

 

[Pappers_]

I'll add in . . .,The Secret of Roan Innish

One of the very best movies I've ever seen. Not a guilty pleasure, just a great piece of art. It works like a fable does - telling truth although not factual or even realistic. Thanks for the reminder, we should really watch that again. I don't think my boys have ever seen it.

When I'm looking for mindless, brutal war scenes... Ironclad

I guess there is nothing horribly guilty...although I long for the day I have kids so that I can enjoy some Ernest Goes to Camp with them. I don't know. That guy just killed me as a kid.

 

[Homercidal]

I once bought a DVD with 5 discs for $5.

They are some of the worst (best) exploitation films ever made.

no you've never heard of any of them.

Think I will go watch one of them now! Grab me a beer and some snacks and friggin ZONE OUT!

At my brothers bachelor party, I rented out a bar and we played beer pong, P&A, flip-cup, Soul Calibur matches, etc. We kept score all night.

The winner got $50 to Best Buy.

The loser got a copy of... Ernest Goes to Camp.

I love watching movies like this but my wife doesnt have the same sense of humor at all. Airplane and Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail.

 

[grathan]

I haven't seen that movie before. I wouldn't hesitate with any of these regardless of mood.

Falling down, blues brothers, rock/metal concert dvds, strange brew, grumpy old men, flockers, office space, and 40 year old Virgin.

 

[onthekeg]

I do like Super Troopers.

 

[MaddBaggins]

If I see Grease while I'm channel surfing, I will stop and watch it.

I'll second Grease. It's got move, it's got meaning. Word. + Sandy was the bomb.

 

[MaddBaggins]

I got chills...they're multiplying.

I'm losing control!

 

[EHV]

I have a few, I just can't get tired of, and when there is time to kill, you bet.
Dumb and Dumber, The Next Friday, Super Troopers, Grumpy Old Men 1 and 2, and Iron Eagle (Chappyyyyyyyy!!??) No chart toppers by any means but man, when I want to watch a movie, these will make me smile everytime.

There's Something About Mary.

My kids and I have watched it so many times that when we're all together, Mary quotes are flying. Just about any topic or event has a corresponding line from the movie. People who haven't seen it a hundred times have no idea why we're all talking nonsense and laughing hysterically.

My best friend and I do the same thing with Big Lebowski and O Brother Where Art Thou quotes.
My wife is usually not amused.

Agree, seems like I've know almost every line from OBWAT! Such a quotable movie. I consider it a masterpiece though, and not the type of movie that I think the OP was talking about.

I agree with you there. My wife says it's stupid so she thinks it would belong here. Doh
