    OK can’t believe I’m going to admit to this but in the spirit of fun:

    The Princess Bride
    Clueless – probably something to do with Alicia Silverstone in an a-line skirt and thigh length socks!
    Whinnie the Pooh

    with the scores on imdb I wouldn’t call The Princess Bride or Clueless bad films…

    Personally I like Deep Blue Sea.

    Enter the Dragon.
    Planet of the Apes (original).
    Logans Run.

    All cheesy, dated yet all very good and surprisingly some great acting in Planet of the Apes.

    I love the princess bride. It certainly doesn’t belong in this thread. Highly under-rated in my opinion.

    I do love short circuit though. I’m pretty sure that belongs here.

    Yep Princess bride is one of my favourite films.

    Don’t know of anyone who has seen it who does not like it.

    After all its got “swordplay, giants, an evil prince, a beautiful princess, and yes, some kissing”

    My god you’ve no idea how relieved I am! I’ve been carrying around that guilty secret for waaaay too long. I especially love the fact that there are a lot of scenes shot in the white and the dark peak. You can even see Higgar Tor in the background at one point.

    TSY – I know, I saw that you’d put Love Actually, remembered that I’ve got not one but two copies of the DVD, and thought I better confess.

    princess bride and blues brothers are both class films and not guilty secrets in any way.

    Nanny McPhee though, I like that, and the sequel too.

    Several of the above but my number 1 is Hackers. Aside from anything else it has a brilliant soundtrack that is exactly of it’s time and brings back excellent memories 🙂

    I saw it in the Cinema for a friend’s 9th birthday, rewatched it for the first time last year… So unimpressed that we switched it off about 20 minutes from the end, though the next day I watched the rest whilst Mrs CGG was out, to see if it got better or I was missing anything. It didn’t and I don’t think I did.

    For those that really rate it, what other comedy films/series do you rate really highly? I’m perplexed that it’s so popular but it didn’t tickle my funny bone at all!

    I really like this, and I know deep down in my heart I should be culled for it. Maybe it’s Sandra Bullock, maybe it’s the quirky plot. I know it’s wrong, please forgive me, or make it swift…

    iDave – I almost said ‘While you were Sleeping’ but realised that it was purely for Ms Bullock and I’ve not attempted to watch it in the last 10 or so years. Having said that I do seem to keep catching the films where she’s an undercover cop at beauty pageants.

    How could I forget Speed.

    Wooden acting (particulary from Canoe Reeves, though Dennis Hopper’s simply appalling as well), terrible script, but saved by the delicious Sandra Bullock.

    Demolition Man is equally as bad, saved in the same manner (Sandra B in a uniform, can’t go wrong), and although terrible, is a film I have genuine affection for and could watch at any time.

    The best Ghostbusters quote has to be “Listen. Can you smell something?”

    I still have a place in my heart for Bad Taste as a bad film, even though it’s now a cult film. It is pretty bad though.

    Hackers is genuinely dire though. It’s only worth watching for the young Ms. Jolie…

    Sandra Bullock is still lush. In 95 I had all her posters on my uni room wall! 8)

    Clueless – probably something to do with Alicia Silverstone in an a-line skirt and thigh length socks!

    +1 I love that film, I also loved 90210, the original, back in the late 80’s / early 90’s

    Silent Running

    +1 for Logans Run & Hackers, everything said previously about Hackers is why I like it.

    Ah, yes, Demolition Man – ‘great’ film 🙂

    (and the monologue from Dennis Leary is a part of one of his standup shows/rants which is actually really good too – it’s hard to believe most of the soppy/crap acting he’s done if you know him from his standup stuff)

    If someone says Life Cycles they definitely should be culled.
    I don’t think the appearance of both Sandra and Alicia could’ve saved that one!

    Has to be Roadhouse. Everything you ever needed to know about being a ‘cooler’. Just remember ‘pain don’t hurt’.

    I met Sandra’s ex hubby and I should have just taken him out, in a prophetic revenge type thing, and stolen her away before her heart was broken…… kinda
