I'm sure everybody has a movie they like which has been torn apart by the critics and is generally considered a "bad" movie.
So, tell the ASRL members your "Guilty Pleasure" movies. This should bring up a few laughs.
(not in any particular order)

1. Bloodsport : Bad acting, corny dialogue, Van Damme. Unfortunately, I love this film to death. As I've stated in an earlier post, the one-liners are gold. How Forrest Whittaker got into this movie, I'll never know. Probably, the best martial arts film of all time.

2. Breakdance : I will never live this down. For those of you who have never heard of it, it is about a jazz dancer who learns breakdancing from two streetdancers named Ozone and Turbo. I love the dancing, 80's music, bad acting and the sexy jazz dancer. If you want to see Jean Claude Van Damme dance like a goose, this is your movie (it is hillarious). Jean Claude has given this movie his stamp of approval. As a kid, I danced like crazy to this movie.

3. American Ninja (and all Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris and Sho Kosugi movies) movies: Michael Dudikoff at his best (or worst in most people's eyes). Who can forget his sidekick, Jackson. Anerican Ninja 2 is also great for guilty pleasures.

4. They Call Me Bruce : A spoof of Bruce Lee. Ripped apart by the critics, but the main character is gold. Very funny "fish out of water" type comedy.

5. The Cable Guy : Believe it or not, this movie is actually very good. I don't think audiences liked the dark side of Jim Carrey's character. My favourite Jim Carrey movie.

6. Rambo : First Blood Part Two : C'mon Rambo, wipe out those evil Commie buggars. His last speech sends a chill up my spine (most English analysts are still trying to decipher what he said, amongst the mumbling).

7. Death Wish movies : Very ugly movies, but Charles Bronson loves to shoot muggers.

8. Showgirls : This is Paul Verhoven's (Basic Instinct, Total Recall, Starship Troopers) masterpiece. What is there not to like in this movie? Sure, this drool-a-minute film has wooden acting, but with all the visual stimulation, who cares?


9. Grease 2 : Lovely Michelle Pfeiffer. Has my credibility gone down the tubes yet?

10. Commando : Arnold at his corny best. This is Schwarzenegger's "Bloodsport".

Ok, here's my list, in no particular order.

1. The Running Man: One of Arnold's greats in my opinion. Was a movie about reality TV even before reality TV was as big as it is today. Has some hilarious portions.

2. 100 Women: Cheeseball romantic comedy that was made twice, but under different names and with different cast members. Worth seeing just for the very cute leading ladies.

3. Plan 9 from Outer Space: The so called 'worst movie of all time' from director, Ed Wood. Absolutely woeful, but hilarious if you just watch it and make fun of everything that happens.

4. Halloween 2000: The best of the Halloween films IMO. Again, plays on the contemporary obsession with reality TV, and you get to see that annoying American Pie actor (the one no one remembers) get killed.

5. Freddie vs. Jason: The most self indulgent film you'll ever see. No real plot, just Freddie Kruger and Jason ripping apart teenagers and each other.

6. The Phantom: How could you not love this movie? It's the world's greatest comic book finally adapted to film! Sure, the acting is odd, the plotline a little weird, and it contains the worst supervillain ever:
'Xander Drax. Starts and ends with the letter X'. Classic viewing.

7. Cannibal- The Musical: Trey Parker and Matt Stone's (Southpark creators) first film, a cheesy comedic musical about men who get stranded in the mountains, one of whom becomes a cannibal. Hilarious.

8. Revenge of the Nerds: Come on. It's about the only film to ever glorify the entire 'nerd' population. It beat out Porkies, simply because it's actually amusing from time to time.

9. The Fifth Element: Apparently it flopped, although I've no idea why. I still consider it the best sci fi made in the past ten years- including the George Lucas wank pieces that are the latest Star Wars installments.

10. The Vidiot from UHF: Magro's already mentioned it, but this is a classic. Weird Al Yankovic's movie debut and it also has Fran Drescher (The Nanny) and Michael Richards (Kramer from Seinfeld). Heaps of 80s' film and music references.

1. The Evil Dead Trilogy. Easily one of the best cult series ever made, and bred the famous director of Spiderman. Also possesses some of the most corniest, funniest and most far out lines in movie history.

2.Roadhouse. One for all you Patrick Swayze fans out there made in the eighties I suspect when his career was about to boom. Has got a real hot chick in it but good story about a bouncer anyhows.

3.Miss Congeniality. Not bashed by the critics but wouldn't tell many people that I like it either.

4.Muppets From Space. Easily one fo my favourite movies of all time. the inclusion of the shrimp into the mix made the movie ultimately more appealing the older audience.

5.Revenge of the nerds. One of the best college movies of all time. The characters are great, the lines are hilarious, and the chicks show there BOBIES. "hair Pie"

6.Nightmare On Elm St. Pick any of these movies and you will find something that will either scare you to death or make you piss yourself laughing.

7.Critters. One of the first Alien flicks I ever watched and scarred me to death. Theres about 6 or so of them now.

8.Creul Intentions 2&3. Do I really need to explain this. ok the movies were crap but check out that BOOOTY> YEAH YEAH YEAH

9.American Psycho 2. Was a preety entertaining movie not as good as the original though.

10.Murder By Numbers. I saw the preview to this at thecinema and then it disapeared. Found it a year later on DVD and loved the movie. Sandra Bullocks character gets a little annoying though.

Fu-uck. How could I forget Cruel Intentions 2? That movie is so bad, but soooo good. To quote our conversation on the topic:

It'd have to get a mention.

I'm pretty sure the critics liked the first "Revenge of the Nerds" film.

BTW Randy, I loved "Roadhouse" too.

1. Saturday Night Fever: Travolta, Bee Gee's, disco dancing...... do I need to say any more? Recently turned into a stage show and could easly be the greatest movie ever created.

2. anything Monty Python: One of the most hilarious movies ever made... you want a laugh, look no further then anything with Monty Python, especially the Holy Grail.

3. anything Chris likes: Chris has a dirty taste for movies. The romantic comedy genra makes me sick... 10 Ways to Lose A Guy, 50 first dates, Love Actually.... need I speak more? Movies should be for martial arts and nude chicks! None of this crap... you want to get a chick in the sack, get her some chocolates and flowers, not mindless drool.

4. Rocky series: Roger and Hoy busted my Rocky cherry and I tell you I'm glad they did. One of the best action flicks combined with some classy catch phrases. Now to wait for The Contender series!

5. anything Jet Li: Voted by me as the best action hero ever, Jet Li rocks my boat in more ways then one :P. Classic Hong Kong Jet Li movies like "Fist of Legends", "Black Mask" and the Shaolin series should be mounted in the hall of fame. Classic viewing for anyone who wants kick arse fighting scenes with Jet Li, who can take on 1 million people (as shown in "The One") and come out on top.

6. Vidiot from UHF: the worlds funniest man: Weird Al Yankovic in his own 80's movie. It's got everything... songs *Beverley Hillbillies (Money For Nothing parody)", champion actors in Fran Dresher and Kramer (Michael someone :s), champion advertisements *Spatula-city, Conan the Libranian and Gandi 2* and takes the piss out of anything and anyone.

7. Gremlins: I find it hard to believe that I enjoyed these films when I was young. Horrible, horrible, horrible! If only I could put some water on the film and destroy it that easily!

8. Priscilla Queen of the Desert: No, I haven't jumped the fences, joined the other team or come out of the closet. This movie is just a champion flick... three gay men on a pink bus to Darwin, what more do you want in a plot? Before getting Queer Eyed, watch this.... it even has a chick who can shoot ping pong balls from her *cough*!

9. Fat Pizza and Wog Boy: Only people living in Australia would have any idea what these films are on about... more of an Australian personal joke and boy do they make me laugh, just goes to show how stupid us wogs really are. The quote of the year comes from Wog Boy in "Frank only likes two things, girl and himself.... and not in that order" and I think it talks for all of us. Burn out, rorting of the goverment, chicks, slicked back hair and a scene from Saturday Night Fever.... do yourself a favour *looking at you Roger* and check them out.

10. The Crow: I owned this movie for 2 years before I sat through it all, took me a while to learn that when you watch a movie at 11pm... you'll usually fall asleep. A dark, eeiry and yet kinda sad movie as we follow Bredan Lee rise from the dead to seek revenge for his murder and the murder and rape of his wife. I haven't seen the sequals maybe cause Brendan Lee died during filming, kinda isn't the same when characters don't cross over *look at Cruel Intentions 2*

Monty Python and the Holy Grail is still rated as one of the best movies of all time, it really shouldn't qualify as a 'guilty pleasure' since everyone seems to love it.

In the 'anything Chris likes' section, are you admitting to being a fan of said movies. Otherwise, they aren't guilty pleasures either.

BTW, I don't like '10 Ways to Lose a Guy'. :P Have you even seen Love, Actually or 50 First Dates?

Opps I read the question wrong..... I thought it said rate 10 bad/good movies :s.... i'll fix mine later.... but just know they will mostly be ethnic, Jet Li or Travolta

Speed 2 :( im ashamed

1. The Videot from UHF. Found this in primary school and have maintained a healthy relationship with it since. Made of a healthy amount of 80's this film kicks the shit out of everything.

2. Top Secret
Val Kilmer's debut had all sorts of cool lines like, "There is sauerkraut in my lederhosen." Absolutely hilarious, if not entirely stupid. This film paved the way for nonsensical comedies such as Hot Shots and the Police Academy movies.

3. Hercules Returns.
Little known Australian film starts slowly and finishes poorly, but it contains the best middle in any movie. 50/60's Italian Hercules movie + broad Australian accents = Funny.

4. Cannibal: The Musical.
It is god awful, yet I am strangely compelled to watch all of it everytime it's on. Snowman song rocks.

5. Get Ready to be Boyzvoiced
This is a mockumentary in the theme of This is Spinal Tap, expect this time its Scandinavian and about a boy-band. Some of the funniest shit I've ever seen. Note their hit single, "12 year old woman." Not sure if this is a bad film or a good one. I liked it.

6. The Phantom.
Mmmm. This was great. Maybe I'm biased as I grew up on The Phantom, but why was there never a sequel?

7. Spaceballs. Don't know when Mel Brooks stopped being funny, but it was soon after this movie. This Star Wars spoof would'n't have flopped if it had been made within five years of the Star Wars trilogy.

8. Blazing Saddles.
"The sheriff's a nigger!" Plenty of shock laughs and clever lines made this Mel Brooks best movie (after Space Balls) of course.) This was critically acclaimed though, so maybe it doesn't belong here.

9. Any Star Trek movie. A horrible genetic defect that I acquired from my father made me like these. High point of the series was without a doubt "First Contact" For the fans: Jonathan Frakes (Number One) is in very early talks to direct the eleventh instalment which is apparently a prequel to all of the previous series. Hopefully we won't see Starfleet Academy meets American Pie.

10. Starship Troopers
Corny and pretty predicatable with a measure of gratuitous nudity. But who cares when Johnny Rico is about to kick some bugs back to Klendathu?

I think if a film is mentioned on this list by three different people it should immediately be removed from the classification of being a "bad" movie! :D

And that being the case, all I can say is I am 100% in agreement with Randy and Roger - Roadhouse is a top film!

Am also a big fan of The Running Man - nice one Chris ...

The Videot from UHF has appeared three times, it is/was not a critically acclaimed blockbuster.
