What's your guilty pleasure movie

[OldSchool]

What's that movie that was garbage by either critic reviews, viewer reviews/opinion or box office results? Mine might just be Battleship. It was like 34% on rottentomatoes.com. Fan reviews have it about 50% but it actually made money. I don't know what it is but I enjoy this shitty movie And it isn't just because of the leading lady.

I was going to put in Tank Girl because it was generally panned by all metrics but it has a kind of cult following so not sure I could list that.

I've mentioned this before somewhere...

Mine is Waterworld.

I've watched it many times and I never seem to get tired of it.

 

[Angry Ram]

Transformers baby!!!! Explosions go boom!

My wife also loves Battleship. I liked it too but not as much as my wife.

I will have to think of my guilty pleasure movie though.

Okay after thinking for a minute - mine is

Fifth Element

I think it got panned by critics as well.

Plus when I watched it the first time, I thought it was okay.

But now I seem to like it more and more each time I re-watch it.

Edit - I guess it wasn't as panned as I thought

71% rotten tomatoes and 86% audience reviews

Okay - how about Best of Times or Big Trouble in Little China

Okay Edit 2 = Best of times has a 31% and 42% respectively

I will have to go with that one

I still love the opening scene.

Reno Hightower, the greatest QB that Taft High School has ever seen launches a beautiful game winning pass to a rarely played 4th string WR to win Taft High School's only win ever against Bakersfield.

However, that son of a bitch dropped it.

I was that son of a bitch.

A Knight's Tale.

AKA "We will, we will Rock you!"

One I can think of is "Soul Man" starring C. Thomas Howell, Rae Dawn Chong and James Earl Jones. A Navy buddy and myself saw it many times in the theater. A totally politically incorrect movie where Howell takes pills to change the color of his skin so he could qualify for a minority scholarship at Harvard Law School. It was so funny and I dreamed of going back to college at the time.

 

[OregonRamsFan]

The movie “Passengers”.

I really enjoy the quiet solitude of the movie. Plus, floating through space with Jennifer Lawrence seems like fun. One on one, no distractions. But I can’t understand why I never tire of that flick.

 

[HX76]

Flash Gordon.

What a film.

 

[RamFan503]

Two Moon Junction. If you've seen it, you know why.

 

[Memento]

Honestly, while it may not have gotten the best critic ratings...I enjoyed Prince of Persia: Sands of Time.

 

[Pancake]

The Unforgiven.

 

[OldSchool]

The Unforgiven.

Great flick! Think we all loved it but a movie that won 4 oscars really doesn't fit the theme.

Battleship is a great call for this category.

Several other great ones have been named already.

My runner up is Bloodsport - which I will watch any time it is on.

For me though - one stands apart from the rest. A movie I know front an back - one day I will host a party where we all dress as characters - it’s The Last Dragon
