Really bad flicks I can never turn off: The Room Troll 2 Enough (Really horrible J-Lo) Gymkata Double Team (JCVD + Dennis Rodman, anyone?) Garbage Pail Kids: The Movie Side Out & Soul Man (The C. Thomas Howell classics) Just One of the Guys The 6th Man The Smurfs (2011) Anything from Troma Films Lifetime movies (Sexting in Surburbia, anyone?) Flicks I love that critics (and most people) hate: Sucker Punch Speed Racer Belly Spork Four Rooms (not to be confused with The Room listed above) Visitor Q Crash (Not the Oscar winner, but erotic obsession w/ car crashes version) Wet Hot American Summer Sorority Row The Golden Child Seed of Chucky Flicks cinephiles should own, but lose nearly everyone else: Videodrome Lost Highway/Eraserhead/Mulholland Drive (Lynch stuff) Tetsuo: The Iron Man El Topo/Holy Mountain (trippy Jodorowski) Bad Taste Enter The Void And try as I might, I can't sit through most chick flicks. But I do dig these: The Princess Bride Annie Hall Married to the Mob Dirty Dancing Heathers The Ramen Girl Thelma & Louise Desperately Seeking Susan The Witches of Eastwick The Secretary Party Girl Last edited by itvnetop; 10-09-2012 at 11:51 PM. |

I think marketing tricked a bunch of fanboys looking for scantily clad chicks kicking butt (which the film provides in spades), but like you said- the story was pretty creative and caught those viewers off guard. It was Zak Snyder's "sucker punch" to those expecting a vapid candy show. Everyone whines about Hollywood retreading ideas and storylines- Snyder creates something original and the same people get mad because it doesn't fit into a traditional narrative. And kudos to the actresses learning how to handle their weapons- I totally bought the action (the German trench warfare scene was insane). And yeah, the soundtrack is amazing. Loved Bjork over the samurai sequence. Last edited by itvnetop; 10-10-2012 at 03:05 AM. |

Re: Guilty Pleasures: Movies
We only had 3 tv channels growing up, so when we finally got a VCR I would watch over and over was Bill & Teds Excellent Adventure... Still probably could quote that movie line for line...

Re: Guilty Pleasures: Movies
original Clash of the Titans
Red Dawn Cyborg Chick Flick: Bye-Bye Love I recently watched John Carter and thought it was pretty decent.

Re: Guilty Pleasures: Movies
p.s. The Room is awesome.
The worst film of all time with a pretty sound cult following. I suggest anyone who is into crappy, D-list (actually F-list) campy films to give it a watch.
