what is it about the evil dead movies? i ve seen jr high projects with better performances. but i actually bought all three of them and watch them atleast 2 rimes a year and always at halloween.

GREAT TOPIC!

off the top of my head:

Bring It On
Girl Next Door
Escape From NY
Spinal Tap
Mallrats
Groose Point Plank
heathers
anything with Mandy Moore (what can I say?)

I don't believe in secret shames or guilty pleasures. If I like a movie, I like a movie and I'm not afraid to admit it. Good movies are rare enough, you might as well share them with the rest fo the world.

That said, you all should be ashamed for liking these movies. :)

U R alone started off with a good list then started naming a few of my top 50 movies
GP Blank and Mallrats...spinal tap

In No Particular Order...

1 Thirteen Days (Even though Bruce Greenwood was not even close as JFK, he gave a good performance and the historical accuracy is unprecedented. This is the movie that made me interested in, not only history, but politics. I hadn't known how close the world had come to Armageddon.)

2 Menace II Society (Flawless performances by Larenz Tate and Tyrin Turner - and the rest of the cast did a good job, also. *Tupac was originally cast as O-Dog, by the way, but things didn't work out.)

3 Contact (My favorite E.T.-related movie to date. Deep!)

4 Usual Suspects (Christopher McQuarrie won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for this one- well deserved! Brilliant casting, flawlessly shot and edited. Kevin Spacey solidified his spot on my "Favorite Character Actors" list.)

5 Gladiator (Russell Crowe at the top of his game- another great character actor. Well written, directed and choreographed.)

6 Lord Of The Rings Trilogy (Especially The Two Towers- I'm still not completely convinced that these stories are fictional! Considering that Tolken claimed he could recognize languages he'd never heard before and that he wrote the books to create a world in which he could use a language he had created- Elvish- I get the sense that maybe he could somehow percieve events that had actually occurred at some other time or on some other level of earthly existence. And Peter Jackson performed no small miracle in capturing the feel of the books. Ian McKellan is Gandolf!)

7 Five On The Black Hand Side (A brilliant comedy with an all-Black ensemble cast; wholesome and intelligent at a time when blaxploitation films, although entertaining and humorous, polluted the culture. Brilliant characters- a perfect example of how stereotypes can be positive. No pimps, no hoes, no thugs- a whole 'nother side of Black America. I could watch this movie once a day for the next two years, at least.)

8 White Heat (Classic Cagney! "Top of the world, Ma!" Need I say more?!?!

9 Made (The Seinfeld of mob flicks! Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn are never better than when together.)

10 Unbreakable (M. Night Shyamalan's second- and, so far, his last- masterpiece. Brilliantly subtle for a superhero flick...I was intrigued by the relative scarcity of action. Samuel L. Jackson sits atop my "Favorite Character Actors" list. Bruce Willis is Bruce Willis; that's not a complaint. And, for the record, Signs, although still a good film, fell short of my expections; The Village, on the other hand, was a travesty. How could the monsters not be real?

I have about 30 other movies in my top ten list, but I'll leave some space for everyone else...
Peace,
W B Epps

Interesting.

The top ten movies that you don't like anyone knowing you like, includes movies like Terminator, Knightriders, Evil Dead, Breakfast Club, Spinal Tap, Heathers, Escape From New York, Usual Suspects and even the LOTR films.

All great movies that I am proud to love. Several of them changed the genre forever and many of those mentioned launched the career of the writer, director, producer or stars.

In this company I hate to tell you the movies I like, but don’t want anyone to know that I like.

off topic, what about Weezer fans? Did it feel like you were "comming out of the closet," when you admitted you liked weezer for the first time. Not that there is anything gay about them, there just so weired I find it kind of hard to admit I like them.

To the topic, My Best Friends Wedding is one of my top five favorite movies. And some people are naming some really good popular Hollywood movies. Is anyone really ashamed that they like Terminator or LOTR? Personally I think it will be another 20 years before I can watch another LOTR movie, but a lot of people like them and I never saw any shame in it. Xanadu on the other hand, is a prime example of a shame to watch movie.

Good point directorik...

but...

Actually I don't have any secret shame movies- well maybe some adult flicks, but I won't taint this site with those- so I just posted some of my favorites- Sorry if my post is out of place here...

Sometimes I might watch a bad movie just to be amused by how bad it is- like those Sci-Fi channel movies, but I would never buy one or watch it twice...

off topic, what about Weezer fans? Did it feel like you were "comming out of the closet," when you admitted you liked weezer for the first time. Not that there is anything gay about them, there just so weired I find it kind of hard to admit I like them.

I admit, quite freely, I am a Weezer fan. I'm also a fan of Bebe Buell (Liv Tyler's mum). She made a little known ep called, 'Covers Girl' (extended play record-YES, RECORD) from the mid-80's, produced by Todd Rundgren. It had a remake of the Bowie/Pop song, 'Funtime'...a great piece of vinyl which I'm proud to be a fan off :yes: .

...I don't know if I am ashamed :D to like these films, but I get alittle grief for liking them. That being said, I like what I like and that's that. Don't judge me, damn it! :lol: In no particular order....

1. Queen of the Damned - Redeeming Quality: A soundtrack produced by Jonathan Davis of Korn, and 2 tracks headed up by David Draiman of Disturbed. Oh, hell yeah!

2. Fried Green Tomatoes - I have no explaination for this, I jus' like it

3. First Blood - uh, yeah, er...next...

4. The Wiz - Best remake of the Wizard of Oz, Eviline gets flushed down the toilet (instead of water melting her). Funneee! Geez, Michael Jackson actually looked like a real person

5. 9 1/2 Weeks - I know, I know, don't even say it... (an interesting book, though, you can read it in about an hour)

6. The Sound of Music - sugar shock, anyone?

7. Uptown Saturday Night - Pimps, Hoes, gangsters and a missing million dollar lottery ticket. Redeeming Quality? The Cast: Bill Cosby, Sidney Portier (sp?) Harry Belafonte and Ron O'Neal, watch it every time...

8. Dirty Dancing - Nobody puts Baby in a corner!

...I am working on the last two, and don't be knocking the Evil Dead trilogy, LOVE those films, AND THE USUAL SUSPECTS is in my top 3 FAVORITE films...

--spinner :cool:

2. Fried Green Tomatoes - I have no explaination for this, I jus' like it
:


I freakin' LOVED this movie. Could not stop crying. Of course...lost my mother in the same way at the same age...so...(a real LONG time ago...no sympathies needed, just explaining the tears)

Mary Louise Parker ROCKS!

Can't wait for WEEDS on Showtime.

I'm going to add two more to my list:

The Sweetest Thing
Not Another Teen Movie

i have to admit i watch any breakdance movie from the 80s. im sorry :no:

a night at the roxbury- are yo guys brothers no...yes...SCORE!-CLASSIC

Joe Dirt

Great topic, these are my alone in dark indulgences:

1. Anything with Jackie Chan, the outakes alone are worth it.

2. The Charlie Chan series

3. Anything from the Hammer Studios

4. Shaft

5. "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon", with John Wayne

6. Jesus Christ Superstar, and I sing my ASS off to every single song.

7. On Deadly Ground, Steven Sagal in what I can only describe as a delicious comedy.

8. Enter the Dragon

9. Staying Alive, the sequal to Saturday Night Fever

10. Dumb and Dumber, I'm ashamed and yet I can't stop laughing.

10. Dumb and Dumber, I'm ashamed and yet I can't stop laughing.

Don't be ashamed to love great slapstick comedy!

As others have mentioned, I try not to be ashamed of any movies that I like, so I will try to give a list of movies that either a) cause friends to mock me, b) cause enemies to mock me, or c) cause mockingbirds to mock me.

10. Coyote Ugly -- Okay, honestly, I don't like this movie. It's really, really awful. BUT the actresses show great talent, and I have to stand up and applaud them for it.

9. Wrongfully Accused -- Leslie Neilsen is a funny man. This is one of his worst movies, but it holds a few big belly laughs for me. I try to watch it once every couple of years...just so my belly can laugh.

8. The Legend of Boggy Creek -- It's the '70s version of The Blair Witch Project. If you've seen my short "Magnamameous Bark and Gigante Chupycabras" (http://www.indietalk.com/showthread.php?t=4558) you might have caught the small reference when Bob first arrives on seen.

7. The Rock -- The only Michael Bay movie I can stomach. Sean Connery is great when he chews scenery.

6. Beach Babes From Beyond -- Honestly, I've only seen this movie once. But it holds a sweet spot in my heart, because...well, let me tell the story. When I was in college, I opened an acount at a local video store. Stupidly I put my younger brother on the account. Well, one night after church, he and my mom decided that they'd like to see a movie. They stopped at the stopre and were surprised to hear of the late fee for Beach Babes From Beyond. When my mom confronted me, I denied, denied, denied - I still do to this day. I can't remember the movie, but I remember the circumstances surrounding it. By the way, if you happen to know my mother, I better never find out that you told her this story...I will continue to deny.

5. Ernest Saves Christmas -- To me it's a classic Christmas movie, but sometimes people look at me funny when I mention it.

4. Zoolander -- I know it's dumb. But the guy is really, really, really ridiculously good looking.

3. The Tigger Movie -- I love movies that make me feel young. All the Pixar movies do that, but everyone's cool with me liking Pixar. But when I mention this tiggeriffic film, some folks throw honey at me (which is actually a commendable accomplishment).

2. Muppets From Space -- I'm sorry, but I am a Gonzo fan. How could I not like a movie that explains just what the heck he is.

1. Urban Legends -- Goat will never let me live down the fact that I called this movie the best slasher flick I'd ever seen. But in my defense, there was a good looking girl grabbing onto me throughout the film. I've never had that happen in another slasher flick (or any other genre for that matter), so it remains the best sl;asher flick I have ever seen.

Poke

w great talent, and I have to stand up and applaud them for it.

9. Wrongfully Accused -- Leslie Neilsen is a funny man. This is one of his worst movies, but it holds a few big belly laughs for me. I try to watch it once every couple of years...just so my belly can laugh.



Hahaha! Oh Poke with the funny.


My #1 Guilty Pleasure is "Sudden Death" (Van Damme).
Chuck Norris comes in second.
Anything with Richard Dean Anderson.
Shakespeare In Love (I like it cause it's Shakespeare)
Star Trek 2: the Wrath of Khan... it's a fantastic movie, but I cry everytime Spock dies, leading it to be something of an embarassment when socializing with non-Trekkies. I can't even talk about it without... oh... ok. I'm okay.

Moving on.

-Denis Logan-
(AKA Spatula)

poke i know your mother and i dont know if i will be able to keep that secret from her, you know what im going to call her tomorrow, :secret: however i can be persuaded if you have any hush hush funds, you have until 3 pm tomrrow, tick tock tick tock. :tongue:

i personally like ernest scared stupid, how about "bumpersandwich boogerlips". classic line.

All of mine are Disney movies. I've always had an affinity for Disney, especially the movies. But no I wouldnt say which one is #1, that would be REALLY embarassing.

No particular order.
Rocky4
Rambo(first blood to #3)
Natural Born Killers) Oliver Stone just likes to piss people off I love that.
Hudson Hawk
Super Mario Brothers
Saturday Night Fever
Gladiator not Crowe but Cuba Gooding Jr and some white guy. Boxing movie.
Driving Mrs. Daisy
Sixteen Candles
And for my last one on this list. Oh god, its another Oliver Stone Movie can you guess everyone and there mother hated it. You Guessed right!
I actually liked Alexander. I guess I just got it, or I just like oliver stone films and will back them up even if they are good but to loooooonnnnngggggg.

I avoided my van damm collection..lol that would be just too much.

Hmm:
Zardoz (weird '70's scifi film w/ Sean Connery)
Flashdance
Triple X (thought it was super tongue in cheek)
It's my party (weepy cryfest that no "guy" would like)
Trancers
Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome

Only one i can think of right now is The Fly.... I just love the way he twiches and vomits all over his food to decompose it before he eats it. Need I say more.

Star Trek 2: the Wrath of Khan... it's a fantastic movie, but I cry everytime Spock dies,



Wait ... Spock DIES!?!?!?!? Oh man, way to ruin the ending...thanks Denis.

Wait ... Spock DIES!?!?!?!? Oh man, way to ruin the ending...thanks Denis.

But you KNOW he's in Star Trek 3: The Search for Spock! Did you think he gets kidnapped? No. He simply dies and is jettisoned onto the Genesis planet where he meets Phil Collins and is given the gift of everlasting logic.

Wait ... Spock DIES!?!?!?!? Oh man, way to ruin the ending.
It was the precursor to South Park. There, Kenny dies in every episode. :lol:

I hate to admitt this but

1 Red Dawn
2 Quicksilver
3 Walk in the Clouds
4 Ledgends of the Fall
5 The Cell ( JLo in that suit god dam!)
6 Speed
7 Point Break( its the surf thing)
8 Top Gun
9 Far and Away
10 Young Guns ( the first One

I don't own them but when they come on TV I do look at them!

i know this isnt a movie, its atv show and i only bring it because i need help, comes on every friday morning on tbs, and i watch atleast an hour of it everytime, this is so hard, ok just breathe, just breathe, here it is... SAVED BY THE BELL, AAAAAAUGH. cant believe i just admitted that. i dont know what it is. i watch an hour of that and never laugh, often finding my self wanting to jump through the tv and punch everyone of them, especially, screech, i wish he would die, but im drawn in like a deer in headlights, and the girls arent even cute, dont judge, just help.

just breathe, here it is... SAVED BY THE BELL, AAAAAAUGH.

If confession is good for the soul, I'm going to clear up some dark spots on mine. I watched "Showgirls" JUST to see Jesse nekkid. Yeah, I'm not the only one but I'm still embarrased. And it's just too bad to even be good. Sort of like "Striptease" with Demi Moore, can nakedness be any less sexy?

Saving Silverman -- the best and worst movie ever made.

...and the girls arent even cute...

How dare you defame my dear sweet Kelly Kapowski (http://www.bustedtees.com/shirts/kellykapowski)!

Poke

give me a break by the college years her head looked like a cabbage patch dolls head, it was huge!

http://www.movieprop.com/tvandmovie/savedbythebell/kelly.jpg

I may have a huge head, but I dated Zack and Slater!

Kelly Kapowski

yea and theres a name for girls like you. you are a :censored:

...are we adding tv to this list?....

i watch atleast an hour of it everytime, this is so hard, ok just breathe, just breathe, here it is... SAVED BY THE BELL, AAAAAAUGH. cant believe i just admitted that. i dont know what it is. i watch an hour of that and never laugh, often finding my self wanting to jump through the tv and punch everyone of them, especially, screech, i wish he would die, but im drawn in like a deer in headlights, and the girls arent even cute, dont judge, just help.

...now I am in trouble, but admitting you(I) have a problem is the first step :D ...
I watch 'Real World', now I really am embarrassed... :rolleyes:

...its different with movies, I like what I like, but tv, there's so much junk on there... at least I don't watch those talk shows....uh, did I mention 'Resident Evil' for the movies? (sigh)... I also remember Zardoz and hey! I love 'Legends of the Fall' though I like Brad Pitt better in '12 Monkeys'

--spinner :cool:

I tend to creep out of the room when my wife begins watching "The Real World." It's been hard this season with it being in Austin. I keep wanting to see the job the photogs did in capturing the city I love (which has been pretty poor up until this point...they're only getting shots of downtown...and cows - people, you have to drive fifteen miles outside of the city to see cows).

My biggest weakness --- Big Brother (Vote Kaysar!!! (http://www.cbs.com/primetime/bigbrother6/_polls/amc_poll.shtml)). It's a big game of strategy that you can win or lose in so many ways.

Poke

i cannot get enough of the ellen, when im home at at three every now and then, i cant but dance with ellen and often find my self laughing.

Ha! This is my kinda topic!

1. Cannonball Run
2. Top Gun
3. Commando
4. Three Amigos
5. Cannonball Run 2
6. Police Acadamy
7. Mallrats
8 Mean Girls (with Lohan)
9. Ford Fairlane
10.Con Air

I'm sure there are FAR more (most of my DVD collection would class as guilty pleasure movies!!!)

Phil Hobden
-- Modern Life? --

Anything with Chevy Chase or Rodney Dangerfield in it. Quality of film-making is always awful, but the irreverent wit is what keeps it alive.

White Christmas
Camelot
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
Dirty Dancing
Footloose
Exit To Eden (yeah, I know, I am truly sick)
Real Genius ( I love Val Kilmer)
The Ten Commandments
Emma
The Quiet Man

Some of these are just good movies (like the old MGM musicals- love em all!) that I feel silly admitting to as an Indie Filmmaker... Others are just my strangeness- The Ten Commandments... :)

Cocoon
Everything with John Candy
(never come up with his movies as ones I want to watch, but laugh heartily while they are on)

Revenge of the Nerds, Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure, Risky Business, The Great Escape, Top Gun and The Great Dictator.

I am also a big fan of "HAPPY DAYS!"

Hey great Escape should never be put as a guilty pleasure movie... one of the BEST movies ever!

Phil Hobden

Its a good film but shown on tv so many times it gets boring! Sorry about that!

NEVER!!! Blasphamy! How dare you... (slapping glove around your face) DUEL!!! I challange you to a duel. Next your be telling me Top Gun is over rated!! (Don't you even think about it...)

Phil Hobden
-- Modern Life?--

Top Gun- a quandry to be sure. Major popcorn movie, and anything with Val Kilmer makes it watchable. Plus, Anthony Edwards as a hard navy pilot?!

In an interesting side note, Edwards was once interviewed on tv about Top Gun and said that it was 'jingoistic' and was embarrassed to have made it, but it was a paycheck.

But C'mon Phil, it's got one of the thinnest plots out there. 80's rock music, fast planes and pretty good actors saved it from schlock oblivion. :)

Pistols at dawn? :)

Indeed! Pistols it is... seriously though I love Top Gun. People don't give it credit where its due. It's one of the most significant movies of the 80's. It cemeted Bruckheimer, Cruise, Kilmer and Scott as real talents, rewrote the action movie play book, features Michael Ironside (a god of men), used music like never before, became a iconic advertising campaign, broke box office records and is just so god damn cool. It's also the film 5.1 surround sound was made more!

Is it any good? A matter of opinion... I loev it but it does have a waffer thin plot and brush stroke charecters but every film doesnt have to be awade winning high art.

Was it watchable? YES
Enjoyable? YES
Fun? YES
Exciting? YES

All these reasons I love it for... despite being the gayist film EVER made.

Well it is. "You can be my wing man anytime"? Topless beach games? Naked shower scenes?

Phil Hobden
--Modern Life?--
" Jesters dead!"

I prefer Hot Shots to Top Gun because Hot Shots is hilarious and always makes me laugh!!!

Top Gun is just about Tom Cruise trying to be the "wise guy..."

Yeah... but... and... oh I guess I'll never convert non fans!

Phil Hobden
-- Modern Life?--
TOP GUN RULES!!!!!

Not so secret anymore...off the top of my head

Rocky Horror
Drop Dead Fred
The Fifth Element
Harry Potter(s)
True Lies
The Beastmaster

The Labrynth?
Dark Crystal
Nothing But Trouble
once bitten
big
bowfinger
pee wee's big adventure
time bandits
city slickers
cliff hanger

Just watched Pee Wee's big adventure a little while ago. It's soo bad and overly cheesy at times, it's great. Thank you Tim Burton for that one.
