Guilty Pleasure Films
Posted: Fri Aug 08, 2014 8:53 pm
Title sums it up pretty much, to be honest! I thought it'd be fun for people to share their guilty pleasures where films are concerned and see if anyone else shares theirs with others (or if you thoroughly disagree with someone and need to beat it into their brain that they're totally crazy for liking anything starring Adam Sandler).
I think for me it often comes down to nostalgia which makes me retain a guilty pleasure for some really clearly crappy films. Other times, I just like to take films at face value, just enjoying a bit of pointless entertainment, and eventually ending up shrugging when people point out all the things wrong with it and saying "meh, it was a fun ride."
Here are a few of mine off the top of my head:
-Batman Forever
Say what you want, Jim Carrey is just freaking hilarious as the Riddler, and Tommy Lee Jones as two face is - while nowhere near as good as the Nolan version - also super fun to watch.
-Dodgeball
Just another one that I know has mixed opinions. I think it's a good, funny watch.
-The Green Lantern
Hey, remember that time Ryan Reynolds fucked up Deadpool? Cause that was totally his fault, and not shit scripting at all! Oh no! He's at it again with DC's Hal Jordan! Except I like Ryan Reynolds, and I kindaaa liked this film just for the ride. Don't get me wrong, I get it. I get the stuff that's wrong with it. But I just can't help but feel like it gets way more hate simply because it's Ryan Reynolds (maybe, maybe not). He gets unwarranted hate.
But anyway, let's all just wait for the new Deadpool on the edge of our seatslike the giddy children we are,soaking up any new test footage that's released. :3
-Kung Pow: Enter the Fist
This is just one of those hilarious parodies of Chinese martial art films that is so bad it's good. Partially blinded by nostalgia here, I think.
Those are the only ones I can think of right now. I'm sure you guys will bring something up that I may also have a guilty pleasure for!
Let's hear all of yours! Get sharing!
