Movies we're embarrased to love


This is one of those movies I just love, cinematic importance aside. I'd say every film buff, or person who at least appreciates the good movies without getting their panties in a bunch over the Fantastic Four or Spider Man 3, has a few head turners on their favorites list. You know, the cliche ridden, badly reviewed movies that you just can't help but watch over and over. This is definetely one of mine. I love the scene where Falco and his cheerleader GF are in her bar, and just as he's about to leave, he turns and looks at her. They approach each other slowly, and suddenly you hear John Madden on commentary. You realize it's obviously in the context of a football game, but the situation on the field mirrors what's going on right then and there, as they kiss passionately! Wow, so corny but great! What other "bad" movies do you have in your collection that you are sorta embarrased by?

Down Periscope. I think I love movies about a ragtag group (and that are probably underdogs too). But yea, this is definitely a movie I'm embarrassed to love. I shouldn't be, but... I am haha.

This one, Varsity Blues, and Striptease. I'm laughing right now thinking about Burt Reynolds saying "Hot fresh lint!".

As derivative and cheezylicious as The Replacements is, I can help but be fond of it. It's a funny comedy.

Regarding the topic question, the only ones I can think of are... Disney channel movies from the 90s and early 2000s. Nah, I couldn't care less about it.



Hey there, Johnny Boy, I hope you fry!
