It made the movie industry doubt he was a leading man, but I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Na, what made people doubt him was Scientology and that stuff on Opera. I enjoyed the movie though, I think too many people were expecting Mission Impossible or Minority Report or something.

We all have them, movies that are essentially universally panned yet you still love them. List your shame with pride!

On topic though, Hudson Hawk. Love that movie.

Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift

It's not even the original one. At least the original had Ja Rule looking like a turtle yelling "Monica" and people living their life a quarter mile at a time and Paul Walker getting the money AND the respect.

Delias

07-27-2010, 11:40 PM

Starship Troopers for the mother fucking win.
Same with surf ninjas, conan, and tank girl.

To add a new one... a knights tale. I can't help it. For some reason Heath Ledger's "smile" that splits his head in half like the reach toothbrush commercials and the dialogue just get me.

Mighty Nikkisaurus

07-27-2010, 11:41 PM

I hate Paul Walker, a LOT.

I have no idea why I liked the third one but I did.

TheLastShamurai

07-27-2010, 11:42 PM

Starship Troopers and Judge Dredd are pure win.

Is Tank Girl the movie where the dude had like the water jugs that would suck water out of a persons body?

Leloo

07-27-2010, 11:59 PM

I saw Lilo and Stitch in theatres, talk about embarrassing.

I have to say the most embarrassing thing I see lately is the Twilight saga. My friend and I waited three weeks to see the current one and we went at 9 am, practically whispered to the ticket guy so no one would overhear what we were seeing, and then we sat where no one would really notice us in the theatre. Funny thing is, I hate those movies! So doesn't really fit into this but still!

Delias

07-28-2010, 12:02 AM

I wish she hadn't died. That was sad

Her death is what MAKES that fucking movie.

Damn, half of those movies everyone listed are AWESOME!
Since someone said Three Ninjas I'll have to go with that also. I probably watched that movie 300 times, as it was the only movie my parents let me watch on HBO at the time.

Mighty Nikkisaurus

07-28-2010, 12:06 AM

You know, the more I think on it the more I tend to prefer/enjoy totally shit, mindless movies. I've come to be wary that "Great movie" is code for "Really disturbing and has a fucked up ending". I think this started with the first time I watched Requiem for a Dream. I was in a pretty bad depression already at the time, but I had no idea what the movie was about. "Omg you haven't seen this movie?! YOU MUST SEE IT!!" Yeah, I sobbed for like two hours after that movie and ever since have eyed 'great movies' with suspicion. It couldn't have been too scarring though because whenever I hear a strong New England accent I immediately think of "ass to ass" and start snickering.

Rinualdo

07-28-2010, 12:07 AM

Willow fucking owned.
That is all.

edit: should have added The Saint to my list as well.

Delias

07-28-2010, 12:08 AM

It couldn't have been too scarring though because whenever I hear a strong New England accent I immediately think of "ass to ass" and start snickering.

Yeah...sometimes I think about that line in the shower.

DCSL

07-28-2010, 12:10 AM

I'll be overlapping others' choices on this one.

Surf Ninjas
The Three Ninjas (+ Three Ninjas Knuckle Up and Three Ninjas Kick Back)
Evolution
Starship Troopers
Clue
Radioland Murders
Strange Wilderness
The Frighteners
Push
Hitman
The Last Unicorn
Hollywood Homicide
The Chipmunk Adventure (I watched this again recently and noticed the Chipettes were singing about "getting lucky". As in, "tell me what it takes to get lucky with you." !!)
Cannibal the Musical
More I can't think of.

A lot of the previous ones I don't feel are weird to like at all. Labyrinth? Who doesn't like Labyrinth!? But yeah. It's widely accepted amongst my friends that my taste is incredicrappy.

Mighty Nikkisaurus

07-28-2010, 12:11 AM

Yeah...sometimes I think about that line in the shower.

You know, I can't even remember anything visually about that scene besides that wrinkly old man with the crazy eyes leering forward and bellowing "AAAYYYYSE TO AYYYYYSE"

Gnome Rage

Petshop - About to watch it on youtube.

LMingrone

07-28-2010, 12:24 AM

I think the most embarrassing thing is that almost every movie listed in this thread, I love. I can see why though, everytime I try to get a friend or the wifey to sit down and watch any of them, they're like, "WTF is this garbage?" Screw them.

And Pi is one of my favorite movies. Maybe becuae I'm a math freak, or maybe because it launched Aronofsy's career.

Leloo

07-28-2010, 12:33 AM

I tried to show my two best friends Labyrinth once, they both looked at me like I was on crack for loving that movie.

Celephais

07-28-2010, 12:37 AM

Tremors, I must have watched that movie some 50 times.
I've got to add Willow too, LOVE that movie. "I don't love her, she kicked me in the face!" is one of my favorite lines.

Also Starship troopers is NOT embarassing. It's just badass.

Would you like to know more?

Sylvan Dreams

07-28-2010, 12:37 AM

Knight's Tale is awesome.

I'm surprised someone mentioned The Last Unicorn. I am pretty sure I have a copy on VHS in storage.

Um..
JLo movies.

Mighty Nikkisaurus

07-28-2010, 12:39 AM

JLo movies.

Selena, Enough, and the Cell comes to mind.

DCSL

07-28-2010, 12:45 AM

Okay, The Cell was awesome.

Yeah, the costuming in the Cell was amazing.

I loved The Secretary and I've found that movie is polarizing. People tend to love it or WTF it.

I saw a movie that is terrible but hilarious... Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter. Lesbian vampires, Mary Magdalene in purple leathers riding a Harley.. what's not to love?

I think most of the ones I like have already been covered, but here are a few I'm vaguely embarrassed to love:
- A Knight's Tale (own it and the soundtrack)
- Killer Klowns from Outer Space (own it)
- Biodome
- That jury movie with Paulie Shore (Jury Duty?)
- Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo
- The Waterboy
- All 3 of the Transporter movies
- Crank 1 & 2
- Get Shorty
- Major League 1 & 2
- Necessary Roughness (Kathy Ireland!)
- Mom & Dad Save the World (Kathy Ireland!)
- Feds (featuring the aptly named Mary Gross)
- The Hunt for Red October

Some of the ones listed that I don't find embarrassing at all:
- Radioland Murders (why did no one like this!?)
- Evolution (own it)
- Hitman
- Clue (c'mon, how can this embarass you!?)
- Starship Troopers (there's a giant sentient pussy in the movie. This is not embarrassing in the least.)

Movies like Labyrinth, Willow, ET, The Goonies? These are classics, no one is embarrassed by them.

Because I'm a guy, I like these and that's embarrassing...
- City of Angels
- You've Got Mail

And because I'm a father, I'm slightly embarrassed to have watched these movies multiple times and liked them:
- Kung Fu Panda
- Cars
- WALL-E

Some other embarrassing movie tid-bits...
- I saw the Steve Irwin Croc Hunter movie in the theaters. Before I had kids.
- I saw Kangaroo Jack in theaters. Before I had kids.
- I saw all of the Twilight movies. One of them in the theater.

Wow. That was a lot.

- Killer Klowns from Outer Space (own it)

- That jury movie with Paulie Shore (Jury Duty?) Both of these, terrible.
- Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo
- The Waterboy GAAAAAAAyToraaaade
- All 3 of the Transporter movies
- Crank 1 & 2 Um.. I embarrassingly liked the first, but did you watch the 2nd? It was just fucking awful.
- Get Shorty
- Major League 1 & 2 CLASSICS!
- Necessary Roughness (Kathy Ireland!)
- Mom & Dad Save the World (Kathy Ireland!)
- Feds (featuring the aptly named Mary Gross)
- The Hunt for Red October WTF, this does NOT go on the embarassed list

- Kung Fu Panda

- WALL-E
I loved Wall-E, saw it many times, great movie.

- I saw the Steve Irwin Croc Hunter movie in the theaters. Before I had kids.
- I saw Kangaroo Jack in theaters. Before I had kids.
- I saw all of the Twilight movies. One of them in the theater. In the THEATER!?! I watched the first one with a girlfriend and it was embarrassingly BAD, although that one vampire chick who was the pitcher was hot so there was at least some redeeming quality.

Wow. That was a lot.

It's not terrible, its made of fucking MAGIC. I mean, I don't know anything about the man, but keifer sutherland must be a huge fucking nerd to have consented to do the voice of raistlin majere in an animated movie that went straight to dvd.

I have to admit to liking city of angels, too... but I blame a totally unrelated angel obsession (being an atheist, I get a lot of weird looks for it).

Angel Sanctuary, which I guess is/was a series? about a reincarnated angel who is in love with his sister...who then dies, and he has to go to the underworld to save her.

Movies from the 80's don't count. Everything from the 80's was ridiculous and we loved all of it.

That reminds me that I also have seen movies like 'Drop Zone' quite a few times.

Hell, I liked the Blade movies.

07-28-2010, 10:35 PM

I saw Snakes on a Plane in theaters three times.

Also, Wild Zero is an amazing zombie movie.

I liked Snakes on a Plane, but declined to see it in the theater.

I'm not sure if this counts as a movie, but I LOVE the 'Lexx' series, aka Tales from a Parallel Universe. (Mostly the 4 with Eva Habermann.)

Oh man. How could i forget Dead Alive/Braindead? Its a horrible movie, but so fuckin awesome and hilarious at the same time. More people need to see that shit, I think. Heres a couple clips, if anyone wants to see:

Two zombies fuck and the female gives birth to a zombie baby. Antics ensue.

I'm pretty sure this scene holds a record for being the goriest ever, even though its ridiculous:

Love most of the movies on this list (sans Twilight, Labrythnth, and a few others)...

Adding a few more...

Hair (the 1970s musical version)
The Blues Brothers (all time great)
The Jerk (didn't do that good in the theaters)
Star Wars: Attack of the Clones (the dialouge was just painful to watch)
Home Alone
Mr. Mom
National Lampoon's Vacation (and sequels)
One Crazy Summer (a sequel of sorts to Better Off Dead)
Stop! or my mom will shoot (painful to watch Stallone fall so low)
Judge Dredd (close second)
Cocktail (i liked this)
Dungeons and Dragons (sorta liked it)

Heh, just a few from the dvd cabinet

Yesss. I walked into my living room and this happened to have just started, and at first I was like "What the hell, this movie is TERRIBLE"...... and then I watched the rest of it. And then I watched it again a few days later.

Another one to add to the list:

Yes, Rocko was italian and they were killin' Italians. But I thought the Irish accents were way more memorable. Maybe because I want Sean Patrick Flannery to have my children.

Boondock Saints is nothing to be embarrassed about.

You can be embarrassed if you liked the second one. I was mildly embarrassed that I liked it, but the heart wants what the heart wants.

I also love that movie..

I mean, you can't beat Stallone, playing a suited up cop where one of the other cops remarks,"Who do you think you are? Rambo?" And Sly repling," Rambo was a pussy." before shooting at a tanker full of drugs and gasoline surrounded by even more cops who are pissed at him.

Epic win. Cliche, but epic.

Boondocks Saints is pretty lame. After I watched it I didn't think 'wow that sucked' or anything, but it wasn't anything special--at worst: pretty derivative of way better movies. I think also it kind of got co-opted by a certain section of dumbs that never shut up about it and have intense BS fervor. My friend from Boston loves it though and I don't hold it against him.

Toy Soldiers is fucking amazing though. People should get tattoos about that fucking movie.

Oh, and I wasn't big on Hackers... but I loved this movie called 'Foxfire'. Topless Angelina Jolie, before she was famous. Mmm. I always liked the redhead -- turns out she's lead singer for the band Rilo Kiley now.

Not to be confused with Fire Birds (with Nicolas Cage) that I also loved, but am similarly embarrassed by. I AM THE GREATEST!

This movie was filmed in my hometown, which always makes a movie more entertaining. I spent a lot of the movie explaining to people that it was not possible to actually walk from point A to point B in the amount of time given.
