Movies That I Really Like That Make People Point And Laugh
(but they're really good--really!)

1)Postman...no really
2)Starship Troopers--shut up
3)Sorority Boys--sure, *you* guys like it.
4)Soldier--enough to someday finish a fic based on it
5)Four Brothers--the incslash was *blinding!*
6)The Untouchables--Kevin was so cool in this movie and again--slash, my god!
7)Weekend At Bernies--it was the times, what can I say?
8)Lemony Snicket--come on, that movie was *great!*
9)Stand By Me--I mention this flick(old people for movie) and folks go, "Hunh?" It's a classic!
10)Formula 51---I hope we can still be friends...I was the only one in the theater laughing...that happens to me a lot... :(

So, what are your guilty pleasure movies? Come on--I showed you mine!

Starship Troopers, Stand By Me, and The Untouchables are all excellent films. No need to feel silly about loving them.

Cocktail
Dirty Dancing
The Spongebob Squarepants Movie (which is fucking awesome don't let anyone tell you different)
13 Going on 30
Elf (the best comedy EVER MADE.)

I'm also home from work and have not left the computer for about 8 hours

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Me too, me too! I almost feel bad! and then I saw Cocktail on your list and laughed my ass off was mildly surprised. ;)

[dawnybee.livejournal.com]

3)It took me a while to like it, now I watch it every chance I get.
5) If you know where some Four Brothers slash is, let me know. I love that film.
10)BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Okay, if I knew a theater that was playing it, I probably, probably would’ve seen it. My love for Robert Carlyle wasn’t strong enough to venture out to see it in the theater. But it was enjoyable.

// So, what are your guilty pleasure movies? Come on--I showed you mine!//
1) Grease 2. By far better than Grease.

I'm sure I have others. I know I do, I just can't think of it. "From Justin to Kelly".

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

You're laughing at me!
Okay, I know my choices are...hmmm. but not as humm as Grease 2? Really? *backs away* my, how...interesting.
Come on, you knew I was going to mock.

And I swear...the 4brothers slash should have been pouring out all over the place. *sigh*

[katholicgrrl.livejournal.com]

This is really a point-and-laugh thing, but i adored the original "Beastmaster" movie, with Marc Singer and his abs, and that strips-of-leather loin-thing - yummy!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Ooooo...really? *gigglegiggle* Any one who watched that movie watched it for his costume, omg. It sure wasn't for JJ's daddy.

[sori1773.livejournal.com]

hee! Starship Troopers! I LOVE that movie! (even watched the second one which is horrific except for Richard Burgi w/facial hair *g*)

(Mine? Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion *hangs head in shame*)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Oh gosh yes! One that makes folks roll their eyes, but I loved it!

[owzers.livejournal.com]

Hee! Hey! I own Starship Troopers and Sorority Boys and I'm proud of it baby. And I loved The Postman - I thought the critics were assholes and into Kevin Costner bashing when that movie came out. And Stand By Me? Is chock full of hoy-yay between the two main boys, and how amazing was River Phoenix in that? Talk about early star quality! So, hmmmm, my others are:
Alien Vs. Predator
Alien Resurrection
Star Trek Insurrection
Wayne's World
Hudson Hawk

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Oooo, good choices all!
Ahhh...Hudson Hawk? *snorfle* I mean, oh of course! :)




i get watery-eyed watching postman

[tabaqui]

Hey!
Formula 51 *or, The 51st State* was fun! Robert Carlyle is teh hawt! And Sam Jackson in a kilt? And then...*not* in a kilt?
Whoooooooot!!!

Soldier - what's that? I don't know that moive. The Postman was fun, too! Tom Petty, wheee!

Stand By Me *always* makes me cry, omg.

Guilty pleasures movies? Hrmmmm....
9 to 5 - i adore those women.
Steel Magnolias - again, adore! I could have done without the whole cancer arc, but ah well.
The Big Lebowski - hilarious!
Fast Times at Ridgemont High - Aloha!
The second Alien movie - it's nothing but shooting and cliches but i love it. The first one scared the stuff out of me as a kid and is *still* an all-time favorite.
Big Trouble in Little China - a world of yes!

*laaaaaaa*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Big Trouble!! How could I forget Big Trouble!!
And I *loved* 9 to 5 back then!
Soldier was a Kurt Russell movie in which he plays a sort of ultimate fighting machine.

[tabaqui]

OH!
I remember! He was all kinda 'no emotion' thing and then, of course, the brave but embattled...uh...squatters won him over and he cried one single perfect tear...
:)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

*spitsnortsnorfle* Yeah...that one!

[quiet--tiger.livejournal.com]

Sorority Boys is *not* a guilty pleasure! okay, so maybe it is. so what?

Is Soldier the one with the guy who's trained to be a soldier and then gets left on some planet and winds up helping the people there against the people who created him? I like that movie.

A Series of Unfortunate Events was surprising enjoyable. We went with my little cousins and had a good time.

People don't know what Stand By Me is?! Dude, dissociate yourself from them! It's a classic! Any movie based on a Stephen King story that doesn't suck is a classic!

Almost forgot to actually answer your question. I'm never sure what counts for a "guilty pleasure" because by what I figure is the definition, *all* of my favorite movies are "guilty pleasures" because non of them are winning awards any time soon.

My fav movie is From Dusk Till Dawn, but movies I watch when I want to laugh include Robin Hood: Men in Tights and South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut. I also like Independence Day and Jurassic Park and horror movies in general (okay, I think Deep Blue Sea counts as a guilty pleasure because that movie is awful but I like it), Indiana Jones, Revenge of the Nerds, ooooo The Sandlot rules, Gremlins 2: The New Batch, and I dunno, probably others but I don't feel like getting up to check my movies.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah! from Dusk Til Dawn! I forgot that one! And Mel Brooks can make me cry, I tell ya!

[kaydee23.livejournal.com]

I loved Starship Troopers, Weekend at Bernies, and Stand by Me. I don't think I know most of the others. Oh, I like the Untouchables, but it's not one of my favorite favorites.

This list doesn't prove your crazy, nor does it make me want to point in life, but most of your other opinions well..... JKJKJKJKJK;)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

HAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!
*jumps on you and kisses you all over*

[kaydee23.livejournal.com]

I don't know if I can think of a favorite movie at the moment. I usually have forgotten the movie I've seen as soon as I get in my car to go home from the theater. I swear.

I love the Princess Bride, Glory, A Soldier's Story, and Brokeback Mountain, but I'm not going to croak if I never see any of them again. Hmmmmm. What do I luuuuuuuuuuuv? Pizza and nachos. That's pretty much it. Hee.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Pizzas and nachos...best choice EVAH!!!!

[kristiinthedark.livejournal.com]

I adore Starship Troopers! And Sorority Boys. And Stand by Me. I like your taste in movies!

Let's see...

1)Road Trip. I die laughing every single time. So much love.
2)Josie and the Pussycats. Yes. I can't help it.
3)Kung Fu Hustle. I think it's awesome! But I get a lot of funny looks when I talk about it.
4)Rock and Roll High School. The Ramones! Wheee!!!

And that's all I can think of right now. I know there are more!

[owzers.livejournal.com]

Kung Fu Hustle is the most awesome and hilarious movie!!! I love - LOVE the yelling landlady! She cracked me the hell up. I definitely need to by the DVD.

[kristiinthedark.livejournal.com]

I bought it! I couldn't resist! I love it when I find someone else who appreciates the finer films. *G*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Kung Fu Hustle! Oh yeah!!!

[pepperjackcandy.livejournal.com]

8. I cannot agree more.

Have you read any of the books?

So, what are your guilty pleasure movies?

I'll have to think about it . . . .

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

No, should I be reading them? Are they as good as the movie?

[pepperjackcandy.livejournal.com]

They make me want to throw things.

Like the book.

There's the "clueless adult" cliche, and then there's . . . this.

Just for starters, the kids develop a real relationship with Justice Strauss, who never seems to realize that just maybe Count Olaf isn't a suitable guardian.

Stick with the movie.

[luvmax1.livejournal.com]

I did a post like this a while ago. I guess I have to admit this again, embarrassing as it is. I loved Band of The Hand, a truly craptastic movie about juvenille delinquents turned vigilantes. It features a young Laurence Fishburne as a drug dealer with a truly horrible eighties haircut, shaved sides and all.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Laurence Fishburne? *drooooool* I mean, oh yes? I'll have to check on that one! *G*

[luvmax1.livejournal.com]

The guy played Hedwig in the movie "Hedwig and the Angry Inch", whose name is completely escaping me now, played on the delinquents, a punk rocker who kills his absuive father. It's a fantastically terrible movie, and I highly recommend it.

[cinderella81.livejournal.com]

My guilty pleasure movies??

Hackers
To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar
Newsies
Dirty Dancing
both Bill and Ted movies
Top Secret

Still friends with me??? :D

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Are you kidding? I love you even more!!

[kattahj.livejournal.com]

It's way too late for me to think about movies, so I'm just chiming in to say that Lemony Snicket and Stand By Me are indeed very good movies. I haven't seen any of the others except the Untouchables and that was so long ago that I can't remember if I liked it or not.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Untouchables--You should watch it again--lovely slash moments in that one!

[kattahj.livejournal.com]

*grin* I probably should - in my experience, Sean Connery can hold up a movie all on his own.

I think my brother must have loved it, since he and his friends in high school dubbed their a capella group "The Touchables."

[herohunter.livejournal.com]

SORORITY BOYS and STAND BY ME!!!!

*joins parade*
I have to think about it, heeee!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Stand By Me, I love it past decency!

[supercaptain182.livejournal.com]

Hum? You've got some great movies.

My list would include:
Four Brothers (Can you spell the HAWT!)
The Warriors
Boondock Saints
TOMBSTONE!!! ( I can seriously quote the whole damn movie and Val Kilmer looks delicious)
The Jackass Movie ( Come on, it's sooooo funny!)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

The Warriors--how could I forget???
Boondock Saints is an art film, donchaknow--if you're me anyway! *G*

[garryowen.livejournal.com]

Sorority Boys! *smacks lips*
Spiderman 2 (my friends hate it! WTF?)
Batman Begins (my friends hate that, too!)
Romancing the Stone (yeah, baby!)
Gay porn. *g*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

BATMAN BEGINS????
You may need to import some new friends....
And you were the only one honest enough to say Gay Porn! Go you!

[garryowen.livejournal.com]

I have no shame. *g* The boys are so pretty!

And, yeah, I am known as the official geek among my friends. Sigh. They just don't understand.

[droolfangrrl.livejournal.com]

I'm trying to watch vessel...

So far, how to put this,

it's really really bad.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

What? Oh no! It was so good! i'm so sorry you don't like it!

[droolfangrrl.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. So sorry. I wrote this when I was watching the beginning. Watching Lex headache, running, crazy driving, headach, running through the briars and the bushes where the rabbits wouldn't go, followed by Lana with the oh so snappy dialog "lex, lex, lex"

Well it was a less than promissing beginning.

I'll give more of it a go as time goes by. I guess I've been spoiled by those fan fic writer's who can write better than whomever they have on staff.

[vegas-nolan.livejournal.com]

1) Bio-Dome
2) Dirty Dancing (I loved this movie when I was 6 and didn't understand any of the sexy stuff)
3) Cheaper By the Dozen (I love TW, but this movie was BAD)
4) On The Line (Bad, once again)

I also loved Four Brothers and understand that there should have been slash (at least unlike SPN, they are adopted brothers) but it was so sad. I don't think I will ever be able to watch it again because I was bawling in the movie theater.

Really, where is the FB slash? I might go look for it...

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

I've searched and found zip! Can you believe it? *shakes head* what's wong with people? We might have to do it....
