Given the success of these threads, I feel that a movie one is needed. My personal list includes:

Wild Wild West
Dude, Where's My Car?
Cats & Dogs
The Mummy Returns

Aw jeez. Have I opened myself up to a world of hurt here or what?

In some circles that would have you institutionalised.


I'm somewhat ashamed that I thoroughly enjoy both Brady Bunch Movies... They make me laugh

Will Smith as a Sherrif? What's not to like?

I would like to add George of the Jungle.

Forces of Nature

Is 'Dude Where's My Car' the one where Kutcher and that other boy kiss? If so, it's one of my favourites too.

Oh dear.....



It is that very movie. 'That other boy' is Seann William Scott by the way.

SOTD - I know! But everyone seems to hate it and it's a pretty weak plot. think the OST helps sway me too (Even if it does include Sisqo).

I knew I wasn't the only one, thanks for this thread by the way Luke

Oh yeah, and I like 'Not another Teen Movie'. I don't really have an excuse, I hated it the first time I saw it (the ewok made me) but I borrowed it off him out of sheer desperation and it got better, plus the commentaries are pretty good.

I love that movie too.

No problem. It needed to be done.



I like it too. I thought it was essentially a better Scary Movie - obviously with teen flciks in place of horror ones.

Predator.......I mean it's a right mans man film but well, Carl Weatherspoons arm just kills it for me

-m0r

Hudson Hawk. Fantastic.

Twin Dragons, but that was like 5 years ago...

What! Why shouldn't you love that film? It kicks ass. 'I ain't got time to bleed,' as the man says.

Kindergarten Cop.

'BILLY!!!!!'

'I can make it man, I can make it'

'The jungle it just came alive and took him' - 'bullshit thats not what she said'

Arnie's covert pull a power generator off of its stand and let it drive into a village

Billy's laugh

The arm wrestle at the beginning

Old Painless

It's got all the makes of a mans man film, I should see beyond it!! but I can't!

-m0r

nb: You LOVE the film, but you shouldn't

My friend would agree with you, I, however, would not...

Good Man.

I guess it's cos the characters, for a rom-com, are really neurotic and flawed and somehow don't make me wanna throw stuff at the screen because I can actually empathise. Also the fact that the two protagonist's don't end up together in the end, makes a welcome change.

I know it's crap, otherwise i wouldn't post it here.


I like predator. 'Long tall Sally...'

The 'Carry Ons' - don't think I actually like them, I just find them somehow reassuring - symbols of a bygone age, or something.

Oho, it's worth watching for Chyler Leigh alone...

ahem.

Exactly... Predator's a bloody brilliant film.

Terence Hill & Bud Spencer comedies.

And I love bad 80's straight to video (usually Italian) Mad Max/Conan rip-offs

Hmmm only in the Tainted Love vid. However, Mia Kirschner-yes please

Bill and Ted - Bogus Journey more than Excellent adventure

Plus Keanu Reeves looks most, most awesome (IMHO)

Dude, they're cult classics! nothing to be ashamed of there at all.

Phew!! thanx for that, my friends would disagree however

Ditch 'em. Preferably in a desert somewhere.


*uncomfortable silence...*

Only joking!

"wyld stalions" *air guitar*

Great stuff.

Great films, both of them. Although it is impossible to describe why they are good to people. I know someone who hadn't seen them and I couldn't think of a good way to sell their brilliance to another person.

Hmm, for me it would be Cool Runnings. I'e always liked it since I was a kid and it still raises a chuckle now and again.

That's a classic.

You mean, I'm NOT the only person who thinks that?!

Darker, weirder, better. The Grim Reaper alone makes it superior; bless you, Bill Sadler.

Also in this category....please tell me someone else here has seen, cringed, agonized over and loved The Apple. "Heyyyyyy Topps! - what do you think you're dooooiiiiiiink?"

This doesn't count. It's a classic film! It's possibly the best thing Ah-nuld ever starred in. I remember seeing it on the telly about a month or so ago, watching the best scene in the flick. The one where Ah-nuld sets up all the booby traps, builds himself a bow with exploding arrows, covers himself in crap and mud and swamp goo, lights a torch and stands in the fork of a tree and goes;

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I remember thinking;

"That's the governor of California."

I'd just like to re-inforce that B&T'sBJ is fantastic.
I love the 80's Tom Hank comedy The 'Burbs. When I tell people this they look at me like I'm wrong. No. They are wrong. Because The 'Burbs is good.

me too. it was the first film I paid to see twice at the cinema.

I really love Toy Soldiers (The Sean Astin/Will Wheaton one) and Kuffs from that era as well.

I love that movie! Beats Vin diesels The pasifier by billions I bet!

I love bill n ted movies, I fancied Keanu in them (but nothing after that)

B&T's BJ is far superior to excellent adventure although its good too and The 'Burbs is an awesome film, so funny and yet kind of creepy too its a good mixture

Still a little surprised that the Bill & Ted films and Burbs got a mention here. They all got some fairly good reviews and are popular films....its not like we are talking about films of The Avengers standard

Yeah, but B&TBJ was widely considered a failure and a flop compared to the sleeper-hit status of B&TEA upon initial release. Nice to see it's far and away more popular here.

Adding one: Phantom of the Paradise. (I know, so silly. But it's got real vintage DePalma bits and that mask frightened me to death as a child.)

Bring It On is the only guilty pleasure that springs to mind.

The 'burbs is one of the best films of the eighties and I will smack anyone who disputes that. In the chops.
And I'll second Forces of Nature. It's not bad.

I'll kick 'em at the same time, mess 'em up a little. I love that movie.

Con Air. Yes, I know it`s Bruckheimer, yes, I know it`s a base popcorn movie.

But...Cusack. Malkovich. Buscemi. And yes, even Cage.

"This one girl, I drove through 3 states wearing her head as a hat..."

What`s not to love?

Con Air's brilliant. Only thing missing was Piven.

Con Air is a guilty pleasure for me. As it The Rock (the movie).

Ahem - actually - i quite like The Rock (the guy) too. If that makes me a bad person then so be it. As for fillums -

*coughs* Deuce Bigalow *coughs*

I get ripped to shreds here at work for hailing the genius that is Con Air...by people who like The Rock (the film) - both are fantastic.

As for The Rock the "actor" - I saw Welcome To The Jungle over the weekend and thought he was better than your average movie muscle. His name on a film poster would NOT put me off.

I see your Bring it On and I raise you a sequel

So many of my favourite films would fit in here. Cliff Hanger, Vertical Limit and 10 Things I Hate About You are just the tip of the iceberg.

I saw The Rock (the man) on SNL and he was very funny doing Rob Schneider impressions. And ever since, i find him most entertaining cos at least he is witty and funny and doesn't take himself too seriously (yeah -Vin Diesel *points*).

One reason i like The Rock (the film) is that it has Michael Biehn as a Navy Seal in it ... i like it when Mikey plays navy SEALS. Call it a 'fetish'. Navy SEALS and cowboys and astronaut movies ... hmmm. I also like Mark Dacascos fillums to but that is mainly for the visuals of that beautiful man.

Ahem - speaking of Navy SEALS - i really think GI Jane is loads better than everyone thinks. Not just cos of Viggo's legs in shorts. Demi is rather good and the late great Anne Bancroft is fabulous. I also don't find her as awful as everyone else seems to. She did a film called Mortal Thoughts that i rather enjoyed too.

CLimbing films - another genre i have a fondness for !!! - yes, ahem, Vertical Limit being one. mainly cos it has both Krycek from the X-Files and Dr Bashir in the same fillum. To me - that makes it mandatory viewing.

And i also like bad Channel 5 type TV films from the 80s about serial killers who murder models in NYC. That is a particular genre.

Other films - The Paper and January Man. Quite good.

I know I shouldn't, but I did quite enjoy The Avengers. I adore the TV show and knew that no film would even come close to how good the series was, but for the novelty factor I enjoyed it. And visually I thought it was excellent

Waterworld is another film that I think gets too much bad press as well. Sure there are loads of plot holes, but I really couldn't see why it was considered that bad a film. Maybe because all the money spent on it didn't appear on screen

I'm glad that The 'Burbs is thought of so fondly by so many people here (well, 3 people). I watched Tom Hanks get interviewed by Mark Cousins, and Hanks derided The 'Burbs like it was the worst thing he'd ever been in (The Terminal was yet to be made back then!). I look forward to Whitey and Julie laying down some chop smacking and mess-uppery on the Hanks next time they are out and about together and happen to bump into him.

There's that among so many other films on here I've got in my DVD collection. It's great!
