Movies: Your guilty pleasures

[jerseydevil]

it would've made an awesome hellraiser flick.

would've?????

I'll agree with just about ever flick mentioned so far, and while I'm not sure this qualifies as a guilty pleasure as the movie is just flat out awesome, but I cannot ever flip past whenever this is on, no matter how far in, etc. I simply have to continue watching till it is over.

 

[santiclaws]

I don't think this is a guilty pleasure, I think it's a great movie. But SOOOOOO many folks disagree with me.

Did you ever see the original Solaris?

Yeah, I don't think it qualifies. Even if nothing else was decent in it, it would be worth watching for Val Kilmer's performance alone.

For me I can The Fifth Element, Stardust & Time Bandits always seem to get rewatched every time I come accross them.

Nope, enjoyed the remake though.

You should check it out. It holds up remarkably well despite being four decades old. Tarkovsky was a hell of a director. The original story is well worth a read as well.

Event Horizon is one of the only movies that I find legitimately disturbing and scary. It's freaking amazing.

Not sure how I made the connection from that movie but this made me think of:

A great movie IMO and certainly a guilty pleasure of mine...

 

[jerseydevil]

Hmmmm Frailty...can't go wrong with Bill Paxton OR Powers Booth. Nice.

Ok pretty much every Kurt Russel movie that excludes Goldie Hawn probably applies but oh man my wife can't stand when I put this one on

Most women rolleyes at that one, ain't that right Kingsqueen? She cannot even get past the title.


Exclusion to your theory...Cap'n Ron...UGH.

The Princess Bride. I'm surprised Andre the Giant didn't win an award for his performance.

I do agree, I am also a bit ticked that Bob Hoskins never got a nomination for best actor for "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" he spent 90% of the film acting to a blue screen and made it believable.

I read Solaris for a class. Does that count?

 

[jerseydevil]

Just one of the best scenes ever!
