hate to admit it, but I'll watch "Just One of the Guys" if it's on

some good quotes in that one, especially from the younger brother

Buddy: [on the phone] Hey, yo, scumbag! Suck your own! Eat me.
[Terry stares at him in bewilderment]
Buddy: Mom says 'hi'.

&

Rick: Are those what I think they are?
Terry: I'm sorry...
Rick: Where do you get off having t!ts?
 
This weekend my daughters had friends over and the wife was out so I settled in to watch one of the 8 movies I got for $5 a few years back. I have been saving them for that special time when nobody else is around and you A) don't want to ruin their afternoon with crap movie, and B) don't' want them to know what kind of really bad movies you sometimes want to watch!

This one was called, "Single Room Furnished" starring Jane Mansfield. This guy who looked like the classic investigative reported started the movie with a monologue stating how awesome Manfield's acting is and how this is her greatest accomplishment yet, in her last film before dying in an accident.

Surprisingly my 15yo daughter decided to join me and we sat through the whole thing. It was slow. It was more of a creepy statement on relationships in the big city and mental health I am guessing.

Also surprisingly, Jane Mansfield did a really good job in it, especially when you consider the plot and script. Wife came home while we were watching it and rolled her eyes.
 
Only one mention of Strange Brew in this thread, on this site?

Geez... that's a classic.

Because there is no reason for that film to be a "guilty pleasure".

exactly. I am quite unabashed about my love for that movie

throwing the disk and it lands in the dog's mouth, "nice catch, but can he hit?"

"he was in the crease! he was in the crease"

"give in to the dark side of the force, you knob"
 
For me, it's mainly racing movies.
Grand Prix
Lemans
Funny Car Summer
Then of course, sci-fi;
First Men in the Moon
The Time Machine
The War of the Worlds
The Day The Earth Stood Still
Gotta love that 50's sci-fi music;

Conan the Destroyer.

Who can resist Ahnold and the lovely Olivia D'Abo? Also Grace Jones and Wilt Chamberlain!

And of course nobody admits they will stop to watch Flash Gordon. It's ok. We all know.
 
Labyrinth

When Sir Dydymus and Ambrosius cross the Bog of Eternal Stench... I still laugh like a five year old. Ludo is my boy though.

Legend

The only Tom Cruise movie I will watch over and over. I definitely had a crush on Lili and Oona as a kid, but Blunder was my favorite character. When he posed as a goblin with the over-sized helmet and called the unicorn an ugly, one-horned mule... love it.
 
I have the Conan movies on DVD, good stuff. I want that sword with the goat skull on the haft! And Flesh Gordon was funny too, as are the clips I saw of Army Of Darkness...hail to the king baby!
 
Yeah, Flesh Gordon was the sexxxy version, but had it's moments. Like in this version, the doctor's name was Jerkov. So when Flesh yells at him to come on, he of course says " I'm Coming"! I thought it was funny at the time...:drunk::D We saw it while dating at a now gone drive-in if I remember right. Here's a YouTube clip;

And be careful of the penis fly traps!
 
I have most of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 collectors DVD sets. I am lucky that my wife absolutely loves the stuff.:mug:

Anyone ever watch Dave's Old Porn? It's MST3K for Porn. Can be funny.

As far as movies, I'd go with Monty Pythons Holy Grail, Weird Science, Pulp Fiction or 13th Warrior.
 
Legend

Ya, Oona was HOT! Decent story too, but I can't stand the music in Legend though. I'm not a fan of Tom Cruise, but I'll admit there are a couple of movies I thought he was very good in. I liked The Last Samurai & thought he was pretty good in Oblivion, Edge Of Tomorrow was good too. Actually I've been thinking of buying Edge Of Tomorrow on DVD.
Regards, GF.

I don't even remember specifically the music since it unfortunately has been years, but assuming it was 1985... I bet it was fantastic! Or, at least right on par for the year. I have not seen Edge of Tomorrow. I'm quite reluctant when it comes to his movies, someone usually has to get me drunk and have it readily available and claim it is the only thing left to watch.
 
Downloaded Flesh Gordon last night. Was going to watch, but it turns out it was the Italian version and there were no subtitles.

My daughter (20) wanted to watch with me, which may have been awkward, but hey, she's an adult.

So we watched an episode of "Inside Amy Shumer" instead. Not awkward at all... ;)

MST started my obsession with witty and sarcastic comments that makes my adult interactions very difficult at times. I just can't let a good sarcastic comment pass me by regardless of the setting or who's there.

Thanks MST!

Mystery Science Theater 3000 was awesome! It's been years since I've seen any of that.

They put a ton on Netflix.
 
FYI the MST3K guys have started a new business model in which they create MP3 files that you play along side DVDs you already own. It allows them to sell MST3K style humour without worrying about obtaining rights, so they are able to roast newer movies.

They call it Rifftrax.

Also FYI some enterprising people have synced the Rifftrax audio into some DVD movies and made them available for download at your favorite Internet Speakeasy.

Have Fun!
 
Moving beyond the campy stuff, I like Westworld. Great movie, Yul Brenner was a scarey SOB. "Nothing can go wrong".

I'm also a sucker for old Humphrey Bogart movies. Casablanca is great and infinitely quotable, and Treasure of Sierra Madre is great, but his best by far was African Queen. Many other good ones.
 
Pee Wee's Big Adventure and The Warriors are my favorite bad movies, but they're not guilty pleasures; I'll shout it from the rooftops. SLC Punk is a bit more of a guilty pleasure - I don't spread the word because I'm a bit embarrassed about my teenage punk phase so I feel anything with the name Punk has gotta be immature and self-important, but I still love the movie.
