For me its Convoy, literally just watched it & it's still great (in my mind), what's yours?
Oh & if anyone asks, I never really, really, liked the best homo erotic film of the eighties involving an aircraft carrier, I can just recite it word for word for some strange reason 🙁
Talk to me goose... 😉
I can!
cool runnings
feel the rhythm, feel the ride, get on up, it's bobsleigh time
murials wedding.
about a boy.
love actually.
god i am a big soft shyte..... 😳
But my favorate is The Mask.
Watched 'BIG' the other day, made me happy for it's duration.
Legally Blonde. bend and snap.
Tomb Raider.
footloose 🙂
To be honest, I'm not embarrassed by any film I like. Films I like that people might think should embarass me may be:
Transformers
Final Fantasy Advent Children
Dune
Mortal Kombat
Cliff Hanger
Conan The Barbarian
Clueless
Demolition Man
Aliens v Predator
.....and btw, I think Cool Runnings and Convoy were both very good films.
I like any film where lots of things fall down, go boom, and any film that Simon Tooky, the Mail's film critic hates. He thought Watchmen heralded the end of modern civilization. I loved it.
err, One of our dinosaurs is missing... 😳
Xanadu as the lead is hot and the movie is terrible as is
Sheena Queen of the jungle-blonde bombshell 😈
Bad movies but hot ladies.
magnolia
Kes.
Strictly Ballroom
Love Actually
About A Boy
another soft bastard here
I get tearful watching Beauty and the Beast with my girls. Although they must never see that.
Belle is hot though.....
CountZero - I agree, Simon Tooky only seems to like soppy emotional claptrap with minimal explosions and lots and lots of touchy-feely character development. Ergo, he and I have opposite tastes in movies and I tend to go to watch anything he pans.
I have a very simple scoring system which involves taking the body count, multiplying it by the number of killer robots, and adding a bonus 10 points if it involves time travel. Witty one-liners are worth 5 points each.
The Big Blue. Best cinematography of any film. Ever. Ever ever. And it has Rosanna Arquette in it too 🙂
Good formula there Flaperon!
🙂
goodnight mr Tom
Epic.
That's not the film with Rosanna Arquette in her undies is it?
Better bod, but not more fancieable than Patricia - I think it's the giggle.
Oh, and the Breakfast Club. Very embarrassing that one. Am I showing my age now?
the big blue is a triumph of a film!
Oh, the things i could have done with Rosanna Arquet in her prime, and a pot of honey...
I cried watching that sharki (read the book first) =_O)
I loved Amelie, when I thought it would be some soppy poncy crap. It was not. It was a bloody good little film.
I was completely blown away by Wall-E. Although previous Pixar offerings have been excellent, I did watch it with the mind that it was a 'kids' film. Is it ****. One of the best animated films ever made, and a bloody good little film.
I personally think Rita, Sue and Bob Too is a monument of British Cinematic History. I get some funny looks when I tell people that. It is, however, a bloody good little film.
Of course, I like yer 2001, yer Godfather, yer Bergman classics, yer Poklips Now, bit of cerebral 'World Cinema', etc.
But a good film is a good film. If it entertains you then it's done it's job.
Blair Witch project was utter shit. People ran screaming from cinemas watching it? I fell asleep.
Top Gun
Flash Gordon
Both camp as hell so were that fits with me I've no idea!
I was looking forward to some good suggestions to stave off my tonsillitus induced boredom - but this is awful. I'd be better off reading You!
Edit - except Top Gun, Big, and Cool Runnings of course.
Kill Bill vol 1 & 2... Probably my fave films ever still. I know people ridicule them cos they're way OTT, but I think it's the depth of character and the bitterness behind each story that I love. That and I grew up with a mad crush on Uma Thurman which is still going strong today! Funnily enough my ex GF looked quite a lot like her too!
One film I used to love, but haven't seen in a few years right now, is an Australian Classic... Priscilla Queen of the Desert... Just one of the silliest films ever! A film all about a load of Drag Queens on tour, can you get any more embarrassing?
Got to confess that when Love Actually comes on every Christmas (as it does) I sit down and watch it too. A bit twee, but it's a very good feel good film that crosses all ages/sexes/beliefs/religions very well.
Still love the original 3 Star Wars films (episodes 4,5 and 6).
I absolutely love the Alien series, including even the silly but action filled Alien Vs Predator. The best one though is Aliens, ie. the 2nd film. Again, plenty of people hate them, but I think they're ace.
And I have to confess (VERY quietly mind) to actually having enjoyed Bridget Jones 1 & 2. Sssshhhhhhhh... YES, I am heterosexual! I avoided them both at all costs for a number of years based on the fact that I am a man, but eventually had the first one forced upon me a few years ago. Shortly after ended up going to see the 2nd at the Cinema! Yes, it's totally over indulgent crap, but it kinds makes you feel warm inside for some reason!
Confession over...
Oh yeah, Sound of Music.
I was 'forced' to go with my Gran when it came out - even as a young un, I couldn't deny I'd enjoyed it.
Erin Brockovich.............feel good factor for me.
But not convinced i should be embarrassed 😳 its a classic IMO
"Big Beautiful Grannies Strap-on Fun Vol. 4"
LOL! But Gus, those ladies are at least of a similar age to yourself, so it's understandable...
Flash Gordon = ACE.
those ladies are at least of a similar age to yourself
Cheeky git.
BTW I'm embarrassed about Vols 1,2,3,5 & 6
But 'Vol 4' is definite my favourite
Vol.2 was way better!
Cannonball Run
Another vote for 'Big' and also 'Forrest Gump'.
Not [i]that[/i] embarrassed about them though.
"I'm Shirley The Brave, I'm Shirley Valentine"
Gregory's Girl (its a Clair Grogan thing)
Dirty Dancing 😳
Nobody puts baby in the corner!
The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert, great film, never admitted I like that to anyone I know ... oh, I just did! 😳
Already mentioned, but great fun with Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce and Terence Stamp hamming it on a road trip in outback oz 😆
Why would anyone be embarrassed about "The Big Blue". It's a classic.
Now "Love Actually", a film so sugary that you could stand a teaspoon up in it. If you were to admit to liking that then that would be embarrassing. No way would a cynical middle aged engineer like that.
No way.
another one for love actually.
tis a great feel good factor film.
and anything with Zhang Zi Yi in it, although my wife thinks she's a trollop.
I completely disagree (cowering in the corner)
Lots of people don't seem to have read the thread title.
I'll own up to actively enjoying Jason Statham films. And I'll see the OP's Convoy and raise him a Smokey and the Bandit.
Pretty Woman
Officer and a Gentleman
IGMC
White chicks.. 😳
Very funny.
Some great replies, I think white chicks may take some beating 😉
Cheers.
*cough* Mamma Mia *cough*
I found out today that Joy in My Name Is Earl made a porno.
Don't know the name, but when I find it, it may be my favourite film of the next 10 minutes
The original good bye mr chipps, sad but true
Oh & Brief encounter it's the funniest film ever
[url= http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038650/ ]It's a Wonderful Life[/url]Gets me every time
ghostbusters
the goonies
A life less ordinary
Roman Holiday
Audreys eyes..........
Porky's and Lemon Popsicle - both utter cr*p but I enjoyed them immensely
AI
&
Armagedon
&
Excuse me, "you never close your eyes any more when i kiss your lips....."
Mama Mia. A great feel good film.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! 😀
Under siege.
Top Gun.
Officer and Gentleman
Young Einstein.
Buckaroo Banzai.
Warfilms Just off the top of my head - Cross of Iron, Icecold in Alex, Platoon, Zulu (Zulus,....farsards of 'em sah)
vinnyeh, nothing wrong with Officer and a Gentleman - it's a great film, Gere's finest work.
just going through my collection to see what I own...
Romeo and Juliet, the one with Leonardo in it...
American Flyers (I think it's brilliant)
Cliffhanger
Pointbreak
Sound of Music. I even got given a copy as a wedding present.
Mamma Mia
Dirty Dancing
(Oh, and the soundtrack to "The Sound of Music" was my first ever album!!!) 😳
Have to admit to still watching Transformers The Movie (cartoon version) occasionally.... I use the excuse that it stars Orson Wells making it a classic).
I also liked PS I Love You when I saw it a few weeks ago.
Broken Arrow (just cos Samantha Mathis is sooooooo hot)
Nothing else really shameful..... just typical Sunday films that sometimes enter my collection (the type that are brainless entertainment)
watched a cracking chick-flick the other week with a chick mate - The Notebook, she was in bits at the end. was actually very moving
I like Erin Brockovich because it's the hottest Julia has looked.
For films I'd be slightly embrassed to admit I like though....
Top Gun - yes, it's a full on homo-erotic film but it's still great. Planes, macho BS, good stuff.
Meet joe Black - I like Brad Pitt's acting and this is a true chick flick but it's a good film and obviously it has Claire Forlani in it who is a top notch babe.
Probably can't compete with those admitting to liking Mamma Mia or Richard Curtis films, but I have to admit to [i]really[/i] liking Bring It On.
And it's as much to do with the jokes as Kirsten Dunst in a cheerleader's outfit.
