Name a movie you hate to admit you really like.

As in, the critics/your friends hated it or it isn't "good for you", but it's your guilty pleasure.

We've already heard about the great ones that we were supposed to love but didn't; let's do the opposite.

So 'fess up: What's your cinematic Cheet-Oh?

For me, with Rotten tomatoes rating following:
http://www.rottentomatoes.com

She-Devil, 71% users, 38% critics
The Wedding Singer, 56% critics, 73% users
Cellular (dumber than hell, but I can't help it), 54% critics, 66% users

Silly romantic comedy with Matthew Perry, Neve Campbell and Oliver Platt. Not very PC (Perry pretends to be gay to protect his job and to be near the girl he falls for) but there is a chemistry between Perry and Campbell, who never was/will be more charming than she is in this movie.

Kind of got hooked on it when my mom was dying of cancer a few years back, and I just couldn't bear to watch anything with parental/medical/death/violent themes, and this was about the only thing where the situations were inconsequential enough that I could enjoy it and lose myself for 90 minutes or so.

Terror Firmer

Lloyd Kaufman's masterpiece. From DVDTalk:

"18 breasts. 15 corpses. Legs tumble. Spinning headlines. Frequent puking. Armpit sniffing. Wangdoodle super-hyper extension. Lesbian tongue rassling. Flatulence flame throwing. Pre-homicidal self-gratification. Gratuitous flashback sequence. Pickles as sex toys. Gratuitous police interrogation scene. Poop eating. Life-affirming rape scene. Hiney slapping. Stunt breasts. Ventriloquist dummy crucifixion. Gratuitous multi-stream urination."

Roll on Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead!

Nice Girls Don't Explode

Lost 80s teen comedy gem. A Mum has brought her daughter up with the belief that if she ever gets close to a guy, he will explode. Includes a genius performance from the great Wallace Shawn as the local pyromaniac.

The Brown Bunny

I loathe Vincent Gallo as a person, but the final product is a really touching and haunting meditation on grief and loss.

I really like The Wedding Singer too - I've not liked much of Sandler's stuff but this is great. And Larry Cohen had a hand in Cellular so it can't be all bad (although I'm yet to see it).

and enjoyed it in parts.

The unbelievable bad reviews may be based on the fact the movie treated what happened to the main character as a kind of personal empowerment, rather than a civic duty.

Love that guy. Some say he can't act, but that was his best movie ever.

unfortunately.

canadian bacon is one if my favorite "dumb comedy" movies.

My love of alternative history/political futurism gets in the way of my knowing its a right-wing wet dream.

Yeah, it's stupid, but it makes me laugh.

I can't help it - I know it's corny but Julia Roberts and Richard Gere had some excellent chemistry.....

But it did have great performances.

D.B. Sweeny and Moira Kelly.

I don't know what it is, but whenever I see that it's on, I can't help but watch it.

"Action adventure doesn't get much cheesier than The Scorpion King." - http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/scorpion_king/

Not the kind of movie I usually like, either. My friends still haven't forgiven me.

loved them all...:hide:

O, so syrupy sweet. O, so faux complex. O, so predictable, so manipulative, so blatant, so creamy good.
